When you are sick of studying...

Tyler is in the midst of semester finals,
and when you need a break from studying...
turning your camera tripod into a clown is
a great option...and he's nice quiet company
to study with too.

Tyler's Job


Tyler has been working at this triplex condo
for the past few months, helping with cleanup
and other odd jobs.
He has really enjoyed working for Marv Harder,
who is a brother to our good friend and
former pastor, Martin Harder!

Some thoughts from Psalm 139...

O Lord, you have searched me and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
(Psalm 139:1-3)
A couple weeks ago when I went to see Grace,
I got there later than planned.
GOD had a reason for that...
It so happened that the Psych doctor
made a visit to Grace WHILE I was there.
He let me stay and observe their conversation.
It was SO interesting to hear her explain
to him (in 800 words) where she grew up...
"Midale" would have been the short answer.

I got to visit him and thank him for trying a new
medication because she is so much more responsive.
That doesn't mean she will take a bath or
that she's cooperative, but it does mean that
she will go to some meals and will visit.

For you created my inmost being;
you
knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and
wonderfully made; your works are wonderful,
I know that full well...
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth
your eyes saw my unformed body..
(Psalm 139:13, 14, 15b)



As I think of being 'knit together
and woven together',
I can't help but think that Grace's yarn
is not as stretchy as most!

She is not really flexible especially if
anyone wants something!
I recently went to her room because I
need a copy of her health card and/or
birth certificate. I went in with a
worker that she likes, but the response to me
was, "GO HOME!" (not in a quiet voice).

BUT GOD puts just the right people
in place when we pray...and today
the staff was able to get complete
cooperation from her.
I got her health card so that
I can apply for a birth certificate
so that I can apply for her pension.
(And they are confident that they
will even be able to get her to
sign the form! Do pray, though!)

God is so good!

Bored at work?

Bored at Work?
i) Kill some flies
ii) Place in the sun for one hour to dry
iii) Grab some paper and pencil and let your imagination go wild







Makes me wonder though where someone would work where
there are so many flies????

Vikings

Good Day to be a Vikings Fan!

Lots of football left in this ole Boy!

"Tony quit looking at all the pretty girls here in Minnesota
In case you haven't noticed were loosing 37-3"

Hey Jerry this is not Baseball or Hockey where you can just buy a championship
You can't buy a Superbowl you actually have to win


" I think I will trade Romo?? I guess we can always play the Wii on
my jumbo tron in my Billion dollar stadium which now sits empty
