October 2016 Update

Apparently, this was a boring month picture-wise, since all of my pictures were of my downstairs.  We are working on a refurbish of that area, and I took pictures of it after the old paneling was removed so I could remember where the pipes and wires were once we cover it all back up with drywall.  But that’s all the pictures I took this month, and since I don’t think any of you care to look at bare walls, I won’t bother to post those pictures on the web version of this update.  If I’m wrong, and bare walls are really your thing, you need counseling.  But let me know, and I can send you some pictures to carry you through until the counseling takes effect.

I’m done with PT now and just doing at home exercises on my wrist to try to get back full mobility.  I appreciate your ongoing prayers for my full recovery!  It has gotten better enough that I have started leading singing at church again (for a while it hurt too much to flop my arm around).  The fun part of that is that Ella agreed to be my accompanist, so we get to work together each week that I lead.

Birthdays since I wrote last were Ella on 9/21 and Alma on 10/6.  Alma turned one, so that was exciting.  Ella’s birthday was exciting too, but it’s impolite to discuss women’s ages, so don’t ask.

On 9/25, our pastor was away, so I had an opportunity to preach at our church.  If you care to listen, the sermon is posted on our church’s website at http://www.gracebrockport.org/forms/Media.aspx#/mediafile/102.  I thought it went well.  I was a little worried when one of our church members came in with a bag of tomatoes (really!), but she was just giving them away—they were not for sermon feedback.

Since I wrote you last, both the Bills and the Seahawks have done very well, winning all their games, so that makes me happy.  My fantasy team is another story, but no one but me cares, so I won’t bore you with it.

Until November!
