Now Reading

I am now reading : The Office and Work of the Holy Spirit by James Buchanan.

These next two Sundays I have a retired pastor booked to speak in our church as I am supposed to be on vacation but I had booked a wedding a year ago and so here I sit while my family is in Hamilton, but while I'm home we have a carpenter that might show up any day to finish his work so I need to be  ready - and today I made some calls on seniors so am i really on vacation ????
Being attached to the church here in the parsonage I'm still thinking church.
which is no vacation in my mind.

So if the weather man could give us sun I  hope to take the dog and go fishing even tent over night with him.
