Thursday, Sept. 3

6:40 a.m. - I didn't get anything contributed to the blog yesterday...this week has been busy, and then there was Cole's longboarding mishap that really messed up Tuesday eventing.  I had a junior high softball game last night, and I have another tonight and tomorrow night.  I'm going to appreciate a little camping time this weekend.

8:43 p.m. - I'm tired.  Today was a long day followed by a softball night at Merco.  Tomorrow is the same, but hopefully I can get the trailer out to Loud Thunder before the daylight goes away too much.  Is it too much to ask for a quick, simple day tomorrow?

Prayer for My Heart

Holy Spirit...

Help me have...

    a heart of faith, that I may abide in the spirit.
