Cool

We were invited to spend the day in Gridley Sunday, and we enjoyed a blessed day of worship and fellowship.  It had been a long time since we had been back, and it's always good to visit for something other than a funeral.  It was a little sobering though, to see how some of the faithful pillars have aged, especially the number of them shuffling around with canes.  We enjoyed the lunch call on Tim and Sonia's deck, even with the occasional need to dodge the wasps!

Monday we met with our Insurance Agent and started the process to purchase Long Term Care Insurance.  I would like to think that that is still 25 or 30 years in the future, but I know it is better to plan ahead while we are still healthy.  The agent gave us a gift certificate for lunch after our meeting, so that made the time sacrifice worthwhile.

Today I drove down to Heyworth to attend the Farm Journal Soybean College at Ken Ferrie's research farm.  I got to spend much of the day visiting with Jack K. (and Nancy at supper) so that added some enjoyment to the time.  It was so cool (July 15, Central Illinois) that I wore my jacket all day.  Much nicer than the expected 90 degrees and 90 percent humidity.

And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
Galations 2:9
