END OF APRIL

OK, so it's been a while since I have posted anything, sometimes I feel like I have nothing to say, which sounds weird since I am a preacher, but sometimes I feel like I am just out of words. So what's going on in my life these days? Well I've been taking more seminary and I have finals coming up on Wednesday and I'm not sure that any of it stuck if you know what I mean. I took the class and learned a lot but I'm not sure about the final test, but if I study enough this week I'm sure I will pass. The trouble is that I have been making straight A's and I feel the pressure to get another one. This is a new problem for me, when I was in school (when I was younger) I felt good just to pass, but I never studied, I never saw the need until I was taking the test. But now I am applying myself and doing well, but since my surgery my brain doesn't seem to work as well, just an excuse? Maybe, but it's the best I have. So pray for my memory recall.
This is the end of April, tommorrow is May 1st, MayDay. Back when the kids were born we lived in Colorado and I worked an a large farm and I would grow a beard every winter to help with warmth, and every year on May 1st I would shave it off. Why is this important??? I have no idea!
We are still waiting on the birth of our first grandson, he will be here the last of July or early August. His original due date was August 11, my birthday and I thought that that would be a great birthday gift, but now they, the doctor, have moved it up. But one thing that I know is that whenever he gets here it will truly be a gift from God. And he will be a good addition to our three grandgirls, life just keeps getting better.
Well this weekend should be quieter that last, we set up the inflatables (Buncha-Jumps) in the park last Saturday for Keep Childress Beautiful day and had lots of fun with all of the kids. We will be setting some up at Lots in a couple of weeks, come on by and join us.
Well, last week we were in Denver to see Becky's cancer doctor and she is still in remission, ma that's a good word!! The week before we went to Lubbock to see my cancer doctor and mt PSA is still 0.0, just like it should be. Both are good news, her cancer is under control and mine is gone, the only thing that would be better is if her's was gone also...
For someone who didn't have much to say I sure said a lot, but now all of my words are used up for a while, do you believe me?
Well I'm getting ready to go mow my yard again, I worked all day this past Monday on it. We had been gone and it rained for days so it had grown up, a lot. I never did get it sprayed for weeds so everything is growing really good. On Monday I edged and ran the trimmer, cut on some trees and then worked on my mower for a couple of hours before I got it started. I was able to use the grass catcher on the front yard but not the back, so I am going to attempt to catch the back yard and hope that it doesn't plug up the catcher. Anyway, I think that the grass is dry enough and if I can get it done today I can do it on Friday's as I like to do. So here I go..........
