Sunrise in Delta Junction, Alaska

I got a note from one of our grandaughters today and it really touched me, for her to express her thoughts and know she is following my blog.  Hi Sam. 
I got my third shot this morning and so far all is going well.  My little bones hurt a little but I am able to take ibuprofen and that seems to take care of the pain so I don't have to take pain pills,.... "yea".   Just two more to go and then, I think, I will be having my blood checked and anticipating everything to be fine and then I can get out of "house arrest" and go places,... another.... "yea".
We spent a quiet day at home watching conference, eating food, napping and after conference we went over to Janene's and let her dog out so she could play with our Sandy.  We came home and ate some more and then played a couple of games.  One of them was sequence and..... "GUESS WHAT".....   I won the first game so we thought we should play another to make things even but I won the second game also, so thought just one more to give Bill a chance and..... yup.... your right, I won that one also. I really didn't rub it in at all, I just offered to play another game, and I don't understand, but, he said we had played enough.  All I wanted is to give him a chance.  (;    Does anyone want to challenge me at Sequence, expecially those that haven't played it before, then the game doesn't take as long.  I will be gentle,.... ya sure.
So now your wondering, what is conference, I referred to earlier.  Now stay with me, cause I am only going to say this once, and if you have any questions don't call me because I don't have the answers.  Twice a year (April and Oct.) we recieve counsel from the President of our  church (and many others he has asked to speak) on how to better our lives and to live a more Christ- like life.  This is broadcast from Salt Lake, to everyone throughout the world and we can watch this from our homes or go to our church buildings.  It was special this year because it was held on Easter Sunday, which doesn't happen very often.





Yesterday I said I would continue the story so here it is.

All though the night the young Marine sat there in the poorly lighted ward, holding the old man's hand and offering him words of love and strength.  Occasionally, the nurse suggested that the Marine move away and rest awhile.  He refused. Whenever the nurse came into the ward, the Marine was oblivious of her and of the night noises of the hospital...the clanking of the oxygen tank, the laughter of the night staff members exchanging greetings, the cries and moans of the other patients.

That's all folks for tonight, sorry.  I'll continue tomorrow.




THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
The biggest problem with the "Blame Game" is that everyone loses.
