Saturday, August 8

7:58 a.m. - I'm umpiring today if it doesn't rain, but that doesn't start until 2 p.m.  Today, then, before umpiring one of the main things I want to accomplish is picking the garden.  The beans are doing terrible, but maybe they aren't getting enough water, so I'm going to water them and see if that makes a difference.  On the other hand, the dang peppers are looking better, so maybe they were getting too much water earlier in the year.  I also may work on the camper a little bit by making all the beds, but I may need some help from Amber with that.

Prayer for My Heart

Holy Spirit...

Help me have... 

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

                                                                     Amen
