Sunday, June 28

It was a good day.  I picked up a new bike for Carmen for her college graduation gift, and I think she will enjoy it and get many good years out of it.  I had to travel Amboy to get it, but I believe it was worth it.  When I returned home, it was a pool day, and I got to visit with my mom, Carmen, my brother and his wife, and eventually Cole.  Finally, I think I zeroed in on a campsite to reserve for our trip to the Smoky Mountains July 27-31.  Not much work got done, but that will get accomplished tomorrow.

Prayer for My Heart

Holy Spirit...

Help me have... 

    a pure heart, that I may see thee;
    a humble heart, that I may hear you;
    a heart of love, that I may serve you;
    a heart of faith, that I may abide in you. 

                                                                     Amen
