This & that:

I haven't put anything on here for a while, and have nothing profound today.

• Kathy & I were able to take a trip with four of our grandkids. We had a great time, and I think the kids did, too.
• I have this accumulation of projects. One is mostly Kathy's, a basement remodel, but it involves me in putting down ceramic tile, intalling a new door, and doing some sheet-rock work. It will involve moving a water-heater (Why do so many people call them hot-water-heaters? If the water is hot, why would you heat it?) PLUMBING : (, but I can put that off. I started remodeling my study a while back. I put the first coat of vanish on part of the cherry this morning. Lovely stuff. The wood I varnished this morning was some that my late Father-in-law had cut and had sawn. He was my pastor during the first part of my life. Normally I'm not sentimental, but it will be cool to be reminded of Pastor Marsceau . . .
• It's the end of summer so, fall programs have to get going.
• Below in the picture of "my guys" is Pink Davis. We are privileged to have a commissioning service for him and Selena this Sunday. They are headed to New Zealand.

I have put a couple of new Something to Think Abouts on the webpage--link on the right. If you are interested in subscribing there is a form there.
