MUMBO JUMBO APRIL 24

The garden at the church.

The sermon title was called "Mumbo Jumbo".

The minister, Daniel, had a man who lived across from the church who calls religion by this name.

I was thinking about this that it makes religion sound like fun.

It feels good to have Daniel back and I hope and pray for his return to be successful.  It is not easy for him I am sure and he is slowly just doing the sermons for now.

Yes, dad and I have been watching hockey and cheering on Edmonton.  Dad took time out to go to the mechanic whose friend was buying the car.  I went for a walk and did not feel like doing anything on the computer.

Monday Cathy dropped by on her motor bike,

She looks like she would fit in at the Star Wars Convention.

They are very happy in their new home out in the country in Langley.

We will go for a visit soon.

In the afternoon we picked up Vera a friend from church to take her for x-rays.  She is not doing well after having a fall.  She took an ambulance to the hospital where they found she had a broken pelvis but insisted she return to her Senior's Home.  She had to pay for nursing care as she could not move out of bed or even dress herself.  The hospital was over crowed but that was disgraceful  She is in her 90's.

Dad is now driving Panteli back home as the car has been sold.

We should have gone shopping today but will do that to-morrow.  Tavia has asked us over for lunch or supper but this is a busy week.  To-morrow I was planning to go visiting the dear old ladies I now visited as often as I can.  Wed. is Bible study day and Thursday we pick up Kim from the airport and go to a rewards banquet at night.

I like the words from the bulletin.

"You O Holy One awaken us to wonder.

You renew our dreams and visions

Your light shines deep into the shadows of our minds

You teach us to respect all life and all creation 

You call us to be seekers of the truth."

You free us from dogma and doctrine to discover the freedom to dance at the miracle of all life, freeof doubt and despair.
