I will take my stand at my watchpost*

We had a quiet weekend, but the weather was not quiet! We had some big storms on Saturday.

The local stations stayed on the air without commercial breaks for at least three hours. At one point we even got Mr. Smith and went down to the basement as tornadoes moved through the area. But that’s par for the course this time of year.

(Mr. Smith gets a peak into the OM’s dark lair.)

On Sunday the temperature had dropped 40 degrees and it was very blustery, but nothing serious. The boy and his family lost their power during the storm on Saturday, but we (thankfully) did not. When we picked up the twins to go to church, the power was still off at their house!

Church was very special because we had a guest preacher who was a beloved former pastor. I had heard a lot about George Robertson, so I was very curious. He gave a great sermon on Habakkuk 1:12–2:3, all about doubt and dealing with it by running to God not away from Him. The church was of course full and when we sang the doxology at the end of the service–wow–I cried like a baby as usual. I am just so happy to be there.

Daughter #1 was in Jeff City most of the weekend finishing up packing her apartment and getting ready to move next Saturday. She closes on her house this Wednesday.

Meanwhile I am reading Vittoria Cottage by D. E. Stevenson.

My DP recommended the author in a blogpost some years past and I am finally taking her advice. Written in 1949, the action takes place in a quiet village in postwar England. Just what the doctor ordered. I am also reading In the Heart of the Rockies by G.A. Henty, whose author I mentioned a few weeks ago in reference to Louis L’Amour being a fan.

I am enjoying it also.

Enjoy your Monday! Enjoy the ordinary. Step into the the sun, step into the light! Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
