Hello, friends! I thought I would throw in a little this and that post since I really don't have a lot to say lately. I don't want you to think I have deserted you though.
The school that my pastor's wife teaches at is opening tomorrow. That sounds impossible. Didn't the summer just begin? But already the air is getting cooler and I think the last heat wave we had (the 5th of the summer) will be the last one for this year.
I don't mind the heat as much as the humidity. Living as we do between two rivers it is usually very humid. My neighborhood is basically an island surrounded by the Delaware River and the Frankford Creek. It is only 10 blocks wide and you can literally stand at the creek and see the river.
This year my pastor will be teaching at the Christian school where his wife teaches. This change brings a big change for me also.
For three years (since I retired) I have worked from home as Church Secretary. This takes a couple of hours a week or so depending on how many fliers I make, how much the bulletin for Sunday contains, and if there is anything special going on. But now I will be going into the office Monday through Friday for a couple of hours a day. I am very excited about this. I have wanted to get a job but my health has prevented it. This is close to home and only an hour or so a day. So we will see how it goes. It will mean a huge change in my lifestyle. But I think it will be good for me -- make me more organized.
Yesterday Joe told me to pick out any clothes I wanted from Woman Within and he would get them for me as an anniversary gift. I picked out a dress, a skirt and a top. We tend to be practical with our anniversary gifts. I told him I would take him to dinner.
A week ago or so I asked all of you to pray for Joan, an elderly lady in our church who was very sick. Joan went to be with Jesus last Friday. Her funeral service is this Friday. Please pray for her family, many of whom are not believers.
Today's Bible Study went really well. It will take longer than I originally planned to go through the first chapter of 2 Timothy, but that's OK. Better to learn it right and take our time.
And that's about all that's going on. Hope you all have a wonderful evening and a restful night. Talk to you later this week.
Kathy
Good for you on the job! And Happy Anniversary!
