We ran our AWANA club tonight.  As can be expected, most kids were out gathering up candy.  We had six out tonight.  They enjoyed the time, and we enjoyed it with them.  A few water games were included.  Check out the costumes!!

Early this morning I peered out the window.  We had no car at home.  The ground was wet.  A bike ride would have generated a stripe on my clean garments.

Instead, I decided to stay home and work on a sermon.  All my tools were here.  All I needed was the time.  So from 7:00 – 5:00 I slaved away.  In between I had a lunch meal — and Jill kept me fed up with snacks and beverages.

Meanwhile, the sun began to shine around 8:30 and by noon the day was bright and the air a bit crispy, but liveable.  At the setting of the sun, the beauty of the day had been seen.  Vitamin D flowed freshly from the sun’s rays. 

All is well — this is God’s earth, it’s still spinning, and God knows where we are headed!

That’s enough for me!

Well, we are without our son tonight.  His travelling has taken him to our old town of Prince Albert.  He’ll see people, fulfil appointments and enjoy the journey.  So far he’s phoned home to enquire about presents for Christmas — that’s always the nice thing about cell phones. If you have a question of the moment, a quick call can answer the inquiry!

As the evening approached, we prepared for our small group meeting.  Since we needed a ride, we called one person.  They were sick.  Tried another — she wasn’t going to be ready to come.  I was feeling a bit nauseated with my stomach.  For tonight, the night is "off" — back to it next week.

Now I’m sitting working on word processing, preparing to turn a cassette taped song into a CD base.  So goes the night! 

My sermon today parked on "goodness".  If this truly is God’s essence, seen in Jesus Christ and manifested by the Spirit of God to us and through us — then we are people who must seek, not only to do good, but also to be good!  That is our core, our very being, our new creation.

As I explore this further — jot any thoughts you may have, or even questions about what I am getting at!

By the way, this comes out of II Peter 1:5 — to your faith add goodness!
