Mid-week
Wed.is here sooner[it seems] because of the 3 day wkend.The Spring showers have been refreshing these past few days with more for tonite.I love the rich greeness and clean,cool,clear air it brings! 1.With my sons last nite.It went better then last time but the main problem is their Mother's love for herself and the World[IJohn2:15-17].The boys have very little in the way of spiritual desires causing me to fear for their eternal souls.I pray to God they will be truly saved and live for the Lord.To die unsaved is too horrible to think about.2.Read more of the American Eagle squadrons in the UK during WWII[before US entry].Interesting.It was sad to learn of the many air deathes thru accidents,carelessness and plain showing off[buzzing airfields,etc.].I should be glad that my Dad taught me caution and set an example!3.NPR radio today interviewed Arthur Frommer.He wrote the best selling series,"Europe on Five Dollars a Day." Over the years the price has gone up.I think it's now about 75-100.00$ a day.I'm thankful that 31 years ago I did Europe on LESS than 5.00$ per day!Days are going well and blessed.I just want to be closer to God.

New Week: May29-June1
Memorial Day Weekend went fine.1.Relaxed Mon.a.m. and swam outside.2.Drove to Woodcrest pic-nic at nice park in Mounds View.After a couple hrs I drove to the SG church pic-nic at apark in Mahtomedi[near where the Magnusons live].Good timeand fellowship at both.I stayed at the park after they had allgone and took a prayer walk.It was close to 8:00pm when I left.3.Stopped at Dad's but he was over at Steph's.
This week will be shorter.Praying for God's help,protection and blessings.During the weekend I took time to meditate and pray for those who have sacrificed for our country.It's too late for those who have already died, but I am grateful for their sacrifice. At least I can pray for the living.

Friday!
Well,thanks be to God this full week has ended.It's been tiring but endurable.The school here[where I am writing] has been a very nice place to work.As I get to know the people they have become friendlier.Most are not even regenerate and they often have better manners then those who are!1.Called Mrs.Campbell.Pastor seems to be really hurting re: his father's home-going.I plan to take them to dinner in Plymouth on May18.Then we plan to walk around Medicine Lake near-by.2.Saw Dad last nite.Talked w/ Steph.There's other things too,but no time for details.Hope to relax tonite w/ a swim and finish H.N.'s diary bookon the war years[1939-45].

Saw Dad last nite.I just missed Stephanie.Watched some more docu on US in Iraq[America at the Crossroads].1.Went to the FFF and tried to get caught up.Many interesting pts.Last week Dr.Lee Roberson went to be with the Lord at age 97.Truly a man who loved the Lord and wanted the Gospel to be known everywhere.I wrote him about 10 years ago and he wrote a kind letter back re: standing for the truthes of God's Word [against compromise].2.Normal day to day functions.Observing people around me and realizing the truthes of God's Word[esp.Eccles.1 and Psa.39:5].3.Enjoying ISM school.4.Tonite at N-dale Baptist in B-ington there is the "Re-Builders" ministry.I need to start going again!

Typical Day
The ISM -Int'l School of Minn- has been a nice place to work.It's enjoyable to meet interesting people and discuss travel,culture,etc.I'd love to talk about the Gospel but that would not be wise during working hrs.There are some born again Christians.I've enjoyed fellowship with Joel,who is a P.E.coach.1.Church was nice last nite.However,after the service I spoke with the head deacon re: some concerns I have.It did'nt go very well.2.Went home and read then retired.I thought of Luke11:5 & John14:13,14 as I knelt in prayer.Pastor Mark emphasized these verses during the service.3.Slept well,but often I wake at 0500 and can't sleep more.My alarm goes off at 0530 but I really should just rise at 0500.

Another Beautiful Spring Day!
Nights have been nice and cool while the days have been warm.1.Mon.nite visited Dad and watched,"America at the Crossroads"[PBS] with him.It was an excellent segment that deal with the rise of radical Islam.2.Enjoyed Tues off.Up early as usual,longer and fuller quiet time with God.Promises of God are so precious[Psa.119:49]3.Swam,sauna and gave myself a haircut trim with clippers[saves$].4.Drove to Plymouth Ctr,had a tuna sub w/strawberry shake and the went to Plymouth library to read,relax and then access my Army email[AKO].Later I called R's hse and talked to Peter but he was'nt coherent and he wanted me to listen to rock music[!].My precious sons are having the evils of the World influence their lives. R approves of this. What happened to the woman I knew who had Biblical convictions? In just 2 days will be our wedding anniversary. I doubt if she would even remember the date much less her vows.5.I tried to see my sons at 6:00pm but R would'nt answer the phone nor the door.All I can do is pray,trust God and continually look to Him.6.Visited Dad again, watched a docu on Isaac Newton and then went back to my condo at 8:00pm.7.Read more of Nicolson's diary on the war years.Very enlightening. This reminds me:The AMA reunion was last weekend and Col.Larry Nicholson was the featured speaker.A photo was sent of a the 2007 "Roller Rifles" and he was there in USMC uniform.He looked well and and happy. Turned in early.One more thing and very important:Early Tues a.m. during the nite as I slept, I had a horrible dream that began as a nightmare.I was driving what appeared to be an open canopy jeep on a high concrete ramp.I drove at moderate speed toward what I thought was a kind of exit but I could'nt see beyond.As I came over the edge I was horrified to find I had driven over the edge with nothing but air and a huge city-scene 100's of feet below me[!].I thought,"This is it!This is the price I pay for my habitual lack of attention!!!" But somehow,as the jeep cleared the edge it seem to float gently down as though it were a feather or a parachute and then I and the jeep very serenely decended into a parking place.I wonder what the dream meant and if perhaps the Lord was seeking to show me something as he did Jacob and Joseph? Any thoughts dear readers?
