LINDEN'S LIFE/BIBLE STUDY

LINDEN'S LIFE
Friday: Walked to my church for Men’s Prayer Breakfast: It was about ten below zero and pretty nippy! Napped after I returned home and had a lazy day. Again.

Saturday: Attended the Men’s Prayer Breakfast at Kingsway church and, later, the Avon Writers Group meeting. Visited Jack at the Mooresville hospital in the afternoon. His knee replacement went OK but his pain med makes him a little goofy.

Sunday: Attended church services and Sunday school then read the paper and attended to small tasks at home. Had a small group related meeting back at church in the afternoon which was followed by evening services.

Monday: Up at 5:00 to post the blog then went back to bed and stayed there until 10:00 – rarely do that. Saw Jack at the hospital and did paperwork, computer and telephone things after returning home.
