SPRING SUMMER WINTER

I reported Spring came and Sunday was a summer day. Then today the sun didn't show and I was cold. Tonight it is raining with a promise of 1-2". I will believe it when I see it.

Sunday was a beautiful day mostly spent in church. Sunday morning our SS class finished Deuteronomy with Moses living to be 120 which should be our goal. We still can't understand why he was not allowed to enter the promised land, but know he was right predicting that the stiff-necked Israelites would go after other Gods when they got rich and prosperous just as America has. Then in church Nancy joined our church and was received by everyone. To take some time before the 2:30 funeral we drove to Lake Brownwood to eat Mexican food at Corinos. We then attended the funeral for Donna Burleson. It wasn't mentioned because of the many other causes she was involved in, but she was active helping the CP Library. With her experience in transcribing medical dictation she helped in transcribing some of our oral history recordings. I have been a friend of her husband John because he was a registered professional engineer that exchanged stories with me. We finished Sunday at the Bible Study based on the movie The Passion of Christ. We covered whether we deserved Christ's sacrifice for our sins, but agreed that he died for the sins of all. One interesting comment came when Harris and Julie told about a minister that they knew who preached a sermon that Judas was forgiven. Because of that statement many members walked out of church and he received two threatening phone calls. Made for an interesting discussion. But we have had many interesting discussions in that study as in SS.

Today Nancy and I drove to Abilene to eat at China Garden that is closing on the 19th to become a McMurry parking lot. The place was overflowing and we had trouble finding a blank space to add our comment on a big board they had. I hate to see them go and we enjoyed a great meal. We recycled and shopped HEB and then went to Walmart where I came home with 10 new goldfish, a blueberry bush and two cherry tomato plants. I hope to get the plants in the ground tomorrow, but tonight the weather people are forecasting freezing in a couple of days. I expected an Easter spell to freeze my peaches so I will have to protect these new plants. At least we are going into Spring with moisture in the ground. Should have some good wild flowers this year.
