All is well here. Kathy and I are both still fighting sinus problems and/or head colds. The good news is we don't have the flu. We are both out and around as needed.
My truck developed a very slight water leak. A friend from our small group owns a repair shop and does work on diesels. I discussed it with him and he said it was likely that it was the water pump leaking. He said replacing the water pump is a LOT of work and he had a backlog of promised work right now. I took it over to the Chevy dealer in California, MO and it is the water pump. Supposed to get it back tomorrow. 7 hours labor to change the water pump. Have to expect some issues with a 13 year old vehicle. I still well satisfied with it.
Last night (Tuesday night) was our Life Group (small group) meeting. Kathy had a headache that she stayed home. I went and enjoyed a time of fellowship with all the young folks. Kathy and I are the oldest, then there is a guy in his 60's and a lady in her late 50's. Nobody else is even in their 40's. A couple of week ago there were 14 adults and 17 children. The children, and one of their Dads, go downstairs while the adults have a fellowship/study time and then there are snacks for all.
This morning was our Wednesday Men's Fellowship breakfast meeting. 7 guys made it this morning. Last week we had 10, the most ever. We had a decent breakfast and a great study/discussion/time. After I got home I cut up the rest of log from a dead oak tree I felled last week, and split most of it. Maybe half a pickup load. Probably Friday I will take if over to a young family from church. He has to go out of town to work frequently and she also works. They have 3 kids (or maybe 4 with the new one). They heat with wood when they have wood. I took them a couple of pickup loads a few weeks ago but they are probably running low again, and Bryan is in Arkansas both this week and next. I've got enough wood cut to last us through the rest of the heating season. I need to start cutting some for next winter. Praise God that I am healthy enough to cut wood.
God is good. May He bless you and yours.
