March
Journaling
1. Went to dinner at John and Esther’s
and to encourage each other after a tough week at church. Had butter chicken
and played cards.
2. Working on my lesson for this week
about the ten commandments. Then the following week is March break so I’m off.
3. Church.
4. Chiro and massage. VBS meeting. I’ll
be doing snacks again.
5. Crocheted a silly goose, a mouse, a
bunny, and a donut bear.
6. Crocheted a leggy froggy. Prayer
meeting.
7. Taught my class, then went downtown
for dinner and our seminary course on Romans. More drama at church. The elders
have spent sooooo much time on these issues.
8. The grandkids are coming for three
nights. It is March break.
9. The situation at church imploded, but
things should get calmer afterwards.
10. Church, minus two couples.
11. Made a big frog, a pink and a grey
mini whale, a clown fish, and a light green snake.
12. Made a reversible octopus and a teal-coloured
mini whale. Working on my podcast; I am not teaching this week because of March
break.
13. My aunt in London has bone cancer.
She is 79. My mom went for an abdominal ultrasound. Her doctor wants to see her
on Thursday to discuss the results of it and her bloodwork. I’m concerned. She
may have gallstones or something worse.
14. Prayer meeting was incredible. Four
times the number of people as a week ago and such peace and great fellowship.
Same as Sunday.
15. Went to the doctor with my mom. No
gallstones but her liver needs more investigation, bloodwork repeated. Downtown
for our course.
16. Getting all the paperwork together
for the accountant to do our taxes. So tedious. I hate doing it….but it’s
necessary so we get our money.
17. At church for a joint men’s and
women’s ministry breakfast. Also packing blessing bags for the unhoused.
18. Finishing up paperwork for taxes and
to sign my mom up for the free government dental care plan. Crocheted an orange
and black striped snake for my grandson and made five cute oysters. My youngest
granddaughter wants all of them. Annual general meeting tonight. It went well.
19. Telephone appointment with my mom’s
doctor. Her liver bloodwork was normal, but her ultrasound showed some coarse
texture but no cirrhosis, fatty liver, or lesions. She will be referred to a
liver specialist anyway. Crocheting. Made a little hen, a donut buddy snowman
and a mini blueberry. I want to make some small items to add to keychains or
hooks for backpacks.
20. Dentist. Prayer meeting.
21. Watched the first half of the Ten
commandments movie. Downtown for a course.
22. Dropped off our taxes and ran some
other errands.
23. Went to a seminar at church on
finances.
24. Church, then my husband counselled a
friend who is having marriage trouble. Made a few brown chickens, a chicken
nugget keychain, and some water bottle holders. One is for my mom’s birthday.
25. Making the final payment on our
upcoming trip. Made a yellow and black striped snake, a pink chicken, a grey
hippo, another blueberry keychain.
26. Housekeeper. I had forgotten, so had
to scramble to tidy up. Booking appointments for my mom, working on a message
for an upcoming women’s meeting at another church, and working on my podcast
message. I’m at Joshua chapter twelve.
27. It’s my mom’s 84th
birthday; so glad she’s still with us and fairly independent. Heard today that
our friend Esther, who we travel with has cancer. So shocked.
28. Our Romans course. My husband was
off this week writing his paper. We drove downtown and had dinner at our usual
place, The Blake House.
29. Good Friday. We’re having a joint
service with the Mandarin church plant.
30. Crocheting like crazy. A baby seal,
a koala donut buddy, a gator, chicken nuggets, oranges, a watermelon slice, a
red hen and a giant white hen. And two mini whales.
31. Resurrection Sunday. Christ is
risen!
