Times flies when having fun
I am amazed how “busy” I can get when not going to a regular
job Monday through Friday. I even find
myself getting behind in keeping up on the blog each week.
We have been having some rather humid and rainy weather
causing me to focus more on inside activities because my repertory system does
not respond well to that weather, requiring additional medication which I
prefer to avoid as much as possible.
Saturday morning we had a bit cooler and dryer air, so I did
some minor yard work around the planting areas.
I was amazed to see that the 20” papaya tree that I planted three months
is now about 10’ tall and I counted 21 papayas from 3” in length to small nubbins
that have appeared.
Speaking about being busy, interruptions like the wildlife
around the lake takes some of my time.
The vast variety of birds, huge turtles, alligators and my favorite, the
Sand Hill Cranes. While typing this
there was a knock on the glass door by my computer desk. Glancing up I saw two of the cranes trying to
get my attention. When I didn’t respond to the knocking,
the male started pecking loudly on the door knob. When I opened the door and went out, they
jumped into the air with their huge wings outstretched and seemed to be
begging. I cut a slice of multi-grain
bread, tearing pieces for them to gobble down.
That seemed to satisfy them and they continued on searching for tasty
tidbits under the sod as they continued around the lake.
I suspect that you have seen news reports about the challenges
in Liberia at the ELWA Hospital. Kent
and Nancy continue to slowly improve, our non-essential personnel have been evacuated
and continue to be healthy as they are closely monitored for any indication of
the Ebola Virus. Please join us in
thanking the Lord for answered prayer and continue praying for those infected
along with the dedicated people ministering to them in extremely uncomfortable conditions
with hot protective clothing in extremely hot temperatures. They need great wisdom along with good health
and extra stamina. We are thankful for
them and for those arriving to assist them.
It is our prayer that the Lord will be glorified through many lives! The Psalmist says “My suffering was good for
me, for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees.” (Psalm 119:71)
Have a blessed week,
Chuck
