September is here and it actually feels like fall today. The porch, my favorite part of the house, has already been used for lunch and is ready for many more similar events. The windows are open and the breezes are blowing in. I love it!
Mike and I spent Labor Day weekend with my Mom in Oviedo, FL. We didn't do any of the Florida things like going to Disney or the pool even. We did a bit of this and that and it was wonderful. Mike helped Mom out by putting some shingles back on and fixing a few things. Mom and I went yard saling. One yard sale boasted 700 families in the community who were participating in the sale. We went only to find it was a trailer park of senior citizens who were selling their 50 year old stuff in their community center. I still found some bargains and we got a good laugh out of it.
My niece and nephew have been coming over after school for me to help them with their homework. It is nice to see them during the week even though it isn't always fun doing their homework together. I am sure once they get into the swing of things in this new year things will get easier.
Mike started teaching NT survey at the prison last week. CIU is doing an associates degree at the prison across the river. Mike loves teaching and being a part of their lives. He showed me some of their profiles which included a picture, why they are in prison and how long they will be in. It is so encouraging to know that they are thankful for being in prison because it brought them into a relationship with Jesus Christ. These men will be assistant chaplains in the prison system once they finish this degree. Please pray for these 15 inmates as they study God's Word with Mike each Wednesday and Friday.
