A beautiful, bright sunny morning here and the day is off to a good start...Up early with Bible study and walk in at a good hour...A few little errands to accomplish this morning, then off to Grace and Justin's to see them plus Maryanne and kids - coming to meet little Cora. We will leave earlyish to meet our friends Mick and Sandy, who are coming for dinner. Looking forward to it, as we always enjoy their company.

Update on the trailer park: Chris and Sonja are out. You may remember that Chris is the former marine who was reading MacArthur, was hauled off to jail for physical abuse toward his wife. Apparently, he had a complete breakdown a few days ago and was committed to an institution by Sonja. She then packed up and left, taking a radiator from our property as a tip to herself. Sigh! In any case, Randy and Darlene, our long-term, stellar tenants, recommended a young woman with a couple of children who will move in on Monday. We hope for better things from her...I am finding it increasingly difficult to be part of the lives of people who are so devastated by sin, so "hopeless"as to their condition. It really takes a lot out of me. But -without being superspiritual, just as a statement of theological fact - how it increasingly impresses me that God has come close to this spiritually- similar- and- more- so- being, in friendship! Wow!

Will push off now as have to begin my round of errands...Am counting the days until we see Aileen, the Rick and Susanna!
