It is a wet, wet night in Delaware. Somewhere out there, Youngest Son is driving his little Mazda towards Delaware. (Actually, he just called me and he is sitting still somewhere in a traffic jam six miles on the other side of the Bay Bridge.  I wonder if the cross winds are keeping them from letting people cross.  If so, it will be a LONG time before he comes chugging in.)

Tomorrow they will bury Jessica’s Grandma, Charlotte Catts. He is coming home to be here for his girl friend, Jessica (and her family), yes, but other soul things bring him home as well. I am grateful for a chance to see Youngest Son.

Our church is together for Church Retreat at a Wesleyan Campground about thirty miles away. A good group gathered tonight in spite of the weather, and we ate hamburgers made in the convection oven instead of Certain Man’s grill, and we boiled hot dogs in a big pan, too. And many of the women forgot to bring potluck picnic foods, but it all worked out. There were nearly 50 of us there.  49 if my count was right.  Tomorrow looks like alot of fun, and more friends will be joining us.  Someone needs to save me a place at the Scrabble board.  I’ve been itching for a good Scrabble game ever since the one Thisisloretta  I played a few weeks back.  She and her hubby play on the computer, and she is sharp.  And then there is gokum‘s husband who makes people fear for their lives, I am told.  Sometimes when I play with such good people, I get disheartened.  But usually the games played at church retreat are all done with brotherly love.

I need to go and get 20 pounds of hamburger out of the freezer so I can make some taco meat for tomorrow’s lunch.  The night is getting shorter and shorter.  Yet there is much to praise about.  You make your list, and I’ll make mine, but let’s remember from whom all blessings flow!

Oh, and the music on my site is from the College Church of Christ music Library, and the singers are something they call the “Harmony Boys.”  I love the site so much, I will give you the link:  http://www.collegechurchofchrist.com/library/hardingunivconcertchoir.aspx

I hope it will bless you the way it has me!
