Well, seems after talking to the bank, they're not affording us a grace period. The website was wrong, but we can work with that. Gary's shop has been blessed this week, so we're not complaining. All is well as Sister Julian says.

I've got to report to Jury Duty downtown tomorrow. I told Gary I was nervous about the first day---when you get the low-down and select the week you can serve. He gave his standard 'it'll be okay' response, but I stressed that I was REALLY nervous. He looked at me straight on, saw I was dead serious and was more generous with his sympathy. I'm home so much that to go out of my comfort zone is very, very taxing. I did have Jury Duty ten years ago, and it wasn't a big deal, even an adventure, but it was long ago. I have this path I follow on a daily/weekly basis, and if it veers too far off course, I'm not a happy camper.
It'll be fine. He's right. Besides, he's driving me down there, and will just drop me off. I know. I'm a big girl.

Dealing with two boys especially saddened (the rest of us as well) with the news yesterday of a friend of theirs who died of a drug overdose or a possible reaction to meds taken for withdrawal (so much is unknown) on Tuesday morning. The Lord woke me up abruptly at 5am yesterday to pray. Bolt upright. I got to it praying for our boys who live away from home, not knowing if something was prompting me to cover them. This boy died at somewhere before six. Wish I'd been aware of his struggle then. So very sad. Our sons met him through work at the restaurant, where he used to be a waiter. Gorgeous young man. He was over here a few times, I'd driven him around with the boys, and he's the one who taught our third son to use a longboard. Our second son was frustrated after hearing yesterday because he'd shared the Gospel with him. Not interested, had all the time in the world. You always hope, though, that there's a reaching out, even at the last second.
He was only 26.

Thankful for the gift of another day. Warm, yet getting cooler weather. Each one really is a gift.
