DAY OFF

THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DELIVER THE PLAYGROUND OUT TO MONASTIRSCHINA FROM SMOLENSK YESTERDAY. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN, SO WE ENJOYED A DAY OFF.

PLAYED SOME "MAD" ULTIMATE FRISBEE IN THE EVENING AND AFTERWARDS BUSTED A WATERMELON. (A 7 ON THE DAD SCALE.) NOT A BAD DAY OVERALL. AT ALL.

HOPEFULLY, THE PLAYGROUND ARRIVES TO DAY AND WE'LL GO OUT THERE AGAIN. TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO DO A "LAST SUPPER" LIKE WE ALWAYS DO WITH GROUPS WHEN WE FINISH A PROJECT. GOING TO "CHAO ITALIA". YEA!

PRAYER

“O Lord, who has warned us that you will require much of those to whom much is given; grant that we whose lot is cast in so godly a heritage may strive together the more abundantly by prayer, by almsgiving, by fasting, and by every other appointed means, to extend to others what we so richly enjoy; and as we have entered into the labors of other men, so to labor that in their turn other men may enter into ours, to the fulfillment of your holy will, and our own everlasting salvation; through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

– Augustine of Hippo (354-430)(ALWAYS WONDERED ABOUT THAT NAME)

WE WANT TO LIVE LIVES OF PRAYER NOT JUST HAVE TIMES OF PRAYER.

LOVE YA'LL. YA'LL LOVE EACH OTHER.
