This has been an unusual week. On Monday I prepared for the Genesis Bible Study in the morning. Then Esther and I cared for some matters concerning my mother. Mom’s doing well, but is impatient with her care, desiring to get back to her regular room. It was good for Esther to see her grandmother. They get along well since they are so similar. The Genesis Bible Study was like a breath of fresh air, lasting from 7 p.m. until after 9 p.m.

Tuesday morning, I left early to go to Greensburg where I spent two days serving the Churches by sitting on the LOCC. Since Dr. Dail had completed his term on the LOCC, there was no one to act as clerk. When asked, I accepted that position. We spent two days interviewing and testing those pursuing ministry in The Christian and Missionary Alliance. It’s exciting to meet men and women, young and older, willing to serve God here and abroad.

When I returned Wednesday evening I arrived just in time to get things ready for the Board of Ministries meeting at our church. We had a good meeting and, thankfully, Perry lead Prayer Meeting. It was nice to relax after two days of meetings — one lasting until 9:30 p.m.

Thursday I worked on some administrative tasks and research for my sermon. Esther and I hopped on the Honda and went to visit Glen. He and Myrtle were outside, enjoying the sunny day. In the evening, I visited Ted and Donna.

Friday morning, I had breakfast with an accountability partner. It was a good meeting. In the afternoon, while I was working on my sermon, Vern called and asked me to go for a boat ride with him. We had a fine time on Curwensville Lake, taking in the scenery.

Tonight, I am watching an video on Muslims with Esther. Tomorrow — Young Men’s Group and concluding my sermon. God is wonderful!
