Over the last few years I've enjoyed having pictures taken on my camera. They have been of events and creation and people. When I measure them up to the expanse of the universe they are but small things. And yet in their miniscule size is great treasure! Here are a few creation shots. BTW - the first picture was snapped by my wife on my Canon S1 IS.
After a fun evening of seniors and teens, the crokinole tournament ended with: Ashley and Dale - 390 points Aaron and Ann - 380 points Marilyn and Vanessa - 365 points Lots of fun, loud cheering and great dessert prepared by the youth. Something we could do again!!
I did not know. My knee replacements affect the cleaning of my teeth. You see, up until two years after the replacements possible infection can be expected when teeth are cleaned. I presume open cuts and bleeding which result from the cleaning can create open access to bad bacteria. I was literally sitting in the chair when the dental hygienist interrupted my expectations. She had the dentist prescribe a drug to stave off infection. I had to go, get the drug prescription filled, and return no sooner than one hour later. Meanwhile, I took a liter of milk to be sure the pills did not disturb my stomach. OK, maybe I could have taken less but I didn't want to waste all that good milk. Back in the chair an ultrasound tool loosened up the buildup on my teeth. Then some scrapping and finally the polishing. As I view my mouth, I'm now in much better shape than before, although my tongue finds it a little different feel to the landscape of the inner world of my mouth!!
We have a great time together. Senior Pastors of churches in the region meet three times a year. We laugh and cry, pray and eat, and generally walk away refreshed. This time around, Blaine carried two knives with him. Both would be considered "switchblades" back in my day! He showed us how they worked. He carries them as his "tool-of-choice." When he flicks them out, I'm always amazed at how effortless it is. In the end, the trip home saw less than clean roads. Even saw a few patches of highway in the midst of the snow. And as I arrived home, I ate and headed out to our children's program. Somehow God provided me strength for the day and a great group of kids for the evening! And now, the rest for the evening is coming up! See you tomorrow.
