Thursday Morning Feb 22nd

 Well Wednesday turned out to be a very nice winter day after a some what chilly start with temps in the upper 40's and eventually reached the low 70's by late afternoon. Tons of sunshine but that northern breeze kept it from really getting hot as the direct sun was hot. 

I had started the day much the usual with my routines that begin after a before 6 rollout to my quiet times to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing, all seem to be holding as of the post. I skipped pickle ball again as I'm still hacking up some juicy more crud but feel almost healed from whatever invaded my sinuses and chest. I' haven't used any OTC medicine for a couple days and I've let the immune system take over with the help of raw garlic and some vitamins and supplements.

Nancy was off to see the doctor about her jaw pain and as it turned out its TMD or TMJ which are close and both share the same issues of pain in the jaw and difficulty in chewing, so there isn't much the doctors can do at this point and it seemed to get better as the day progressed. I worked outside after it warmed up hoeing and hand watering the gardens and then took a long bike ride through the hood after lunch which felt great. I even sat outside in the sun and bathed my feet and finished up another real crime read set in Sweden called A DARK HEART. The bad daughter and her boy friend were the culprits and eventually he was tricked into believing he would get away with the murder of her father and burying the body in a field for nearly 2 years and that he would inherit the farms and tons of cash. Its quite different in the sentencing in that country as they only received 18 years each behind bars for the murder and then hiding the body in order to receive all the father had accumulated, oh well.

Well we headed out around 6:30 for the week of missions at our church and there must have 2 to 300 folks in attendance as we met and heard stories from missionaries from Brazil, Argentina, Japan and Australia. It was quite informative and will go on all week with a huge dinner on Saturday night which Nancy and I both will work in the kitchen. We will attend again tonight as we will help with the greeting of folks at the front door and Nancy will be off this morning to help with some prep work for the dinner on Saturday. It was going on 8:30 before we got home and then it was shower time and some TV in the bedroom before lights out at 10 for me, LATER
