Our shower on the right, our bathroom on the left! At sunrise

Good morning,  up early enough but getting around slowly.  Behind a little and have to leave early for work today.  All ready - just may not have much time to finish my blog post this morning.  Some time what I 'publish' is not the finished thing.

Just two weeks and counting.  Final general meeting of the Haiti Team '15 is this Sunday evening before Church.  Guess I had better start planning and packing.

Day 1723 - Living "MNTY" one day at a time.  Today, I will remember that It will all get done,
maybe not on time, but always in time.

Today is MMM and work at the Family Store.  The store is closed for re-organization and re-stocking today.  Grand Re-opening tomorrow!  Most of the work is done just a lot of cleaning and straightening up to do.  This is the last day of Jean and Marv's visit.  They are anxious to get home to their grand kids.  Keeping a close eye on the weather between here and there.  It was a really good two weeks, mostly!

Yesterday was a good day.   Cooked out after church, Doris and Jean went shopping,  I watched "Property Brothers' and Marv watched basketball.Check engine light came on on my way home from church, of course I have no idea why.

Tomorrow the store reopens.  Jean and Marv leave. 

As soon as it warms up, I have to mow the yard and get some yard work done!  I want everything in order before I leave - for Haiti!

MY RUDDER AND ANCHOR!

Psalm 126:5 - Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.

Proverbs 26:3 - A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the fool's back.

The Word Alive in 1 - 5  (Reading Exodus 26 - 28)  What will I do today to honor the Lord?

From "Knowing God" by J. I. Packer"  What is the best thing in life, bringing more joy, delight, and contentment than anything else?  Knowing God!

MMM - just some thoughts:  (1) Praying for Jay - PBG  (2) Congratulations Ann, on 23 years today.  (3) Let us not look back in anger, or forward in fear, but around in hope.  (4) The higher I climb, the better my view.  (5) Greater humility is the foundation for greater usefulness.

Saved by Grace . . . Living by Faith,
Mike

Many who have set out to silence Jesus have said in the end, "No one ever spoke like this man!"  (John 7:46).  One reason is the incomparable wisdom and knowledge of Jesus.
