I can't believe it's the first of May already.
Yesterday it was cold, stormy and overcast, so far today it's sunny with a slight breeze.
I am going to meet my friend Tanya at church today. We are supposed to meet for second service which is at 10:45. I've been up since 6:00am. I guess I'm just looking forward to going.
I have to give my church a plug every Sunday because it's so fantastic and Pastor Tate is really gifted.
Today we are going to Eric's grandmother's birthday party. She will be 93 and she still lives at home alone. Her house is spotless. You could do a white glove test any day of the week. She lives in Newport Beach not far from the ocean. I've decided to give her my personal Bible for her birthday gift. Eric said it's so hard to buy for her that usually nobody gives her a gift. This Bible is very special to me because it was a gift from him and because it was the first Bible I ever did journaling in and I poured a lot of my heart and soul out onto the pages. I hope that she will open it's pages and that the Scriptures I've illustrated will speak to her heart.
7:30pm
Grandma was touched by my gift and wasn't sure I should give it to her since it was so personal to me, but I assured her that I wanted her to have it. She said she wasn't really a "Bible" person, but she thumbed through the pages and was amazed at my drawings. I was happy to see her reading the Word which was my ultimate goal. She is Mormon, but I don't know that she's a practicing one. It doesn't matter to me what her religious persuasion is, what matters is that she gets interested in the Bible.
After Grandma's party Eric and I stopped at Castle Park on the way home and went miniature golfing. We only made it through one course though because it was hot. I was hoping to play another course after dark but he pooped out on me.
Oh well, we will go back on another day...perhaps another Monday in the evening. It was nice to be there without the kids and just have some fun adult time. Don't get me wrong...I love having the kids but it can be a bit exhausting trying to keep up with three little ones.
