RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL
OK, Linden does hardly qualify as "The Prodigal" and there was certainly no fatted calf celebration: But, he did return. It was a very pleasant time at Johnson Bible College and there will be more about that later. (At this point the connection was lost and so was a fair amount of this posting.)
The week ended on a, politically speaking, dismal note. Linden had so looked forward to viewing the democrat convention but, due to the Clinton withdrawal, there will be nothing entertaining about it. Linden can think of few potential candidates that he feels to be less suitable for leading this country than Clinton or Obama and it appears the least able of the two has been selected to be the democrat candidate. It is difficult to imagine that 35 million almost evenly divided voters would have selected either of those two.

LINDEN'S LIFE
May 30 through June 1: Attended the 6:00 A.M. Men's Prayer Breakfast and had a busy day filled with various household related tasks. Received in the mail from friend Katia two of the most delicious ever Danish Kringles - one was raspberry and the other pecan. The way to Linden's heart is definitely through his stomach and these Kringles are the key. Thank you! Saturday was a replay of Friday. Sunday was highlighted with Church, Sunday School, brunch with friends and routine tasks.

June 2 through June 6: Slept poorly but was on the bus headed for the college at 6:30. After stopping for brunch at Berea, Ky we arrived at the college about 4:00. We were assigned very confortable rooms, had a very nice welcoming banquet and great evening program. President Weedman and his wife, Janis, are former members of our church so it is always good to see them. There were 58 from our church in attendance to this "Senior Saints In The Smokies" gathering and probably another 300 from other congregations scattered around the various states.
The rest of the week was filled with good food and fellowship, many opportunities to take classes and very enjoyable evening programs. It was just fun and was too soon over and we were on the bus going back home. After stopping for lunch at Lexinton =, KY we arrived home in the early evening. This was Linden's fifth trip to this affair and he certainly hopes to attend again next year.

June 7 through June 8: Great weekend! Had breakfast Saturday with the group from Kingsway Church and later in the day had dinner with Brian. This is one of my favorite things to do - visit with my kids. He had brought Jake over to spend a few days in Plainfield - mostly with Brian's Mother. It had finally quit raining in Indiana earlier in the day: There was much flooding in many locations.
Sunday brought the usual Church attendance followed by brunch and later in the day
Julie brought new Granddaughter, Jade, by for a surprise visit - Jake came also- it was the first time Linden had seen the new one in person and it was nice to hold her. She is a good and a beautiful baby. The four of us went out for dinner and the visit was just great. This was a really, really good weekend and it followed a really good week.
