Whole Day

Early this morning Rick had saved a life, literally. On the way to church there was a huge car accident of which he had been the first to witness the after affects of. He had found the car in a ditch at a corner, bent in every which direction. Rick had heard a moaning voice, and thinking it was coming from the car he went there to look for him. He discovered the voice wasn’t coming from there and so he continued to follow the cry which ended up being a little way down the street and across it. He had found the poor man helplessly also bent in every direction his body would let him and in very horrible condition. Which I will NOT describe to you! Rick called 911 and they arrived while Rick continued on as if nothing happened. After the nursing home, the two of us took the drive there so he could give me a better detailed image of the occurrence before heading back to the church.
After church today, and after going to the nursing home to sing, we all came back to the church to spend a great afternoon together! 

Before we left for the home, Rick and I, while listening to an Iworship Cd (because we couldn’t listen to David Crowder in the church) sat in the mother’s room and ate Tostitos and salsa while having a polite, and friendly conversation, while the rest of the people rested in the sanctuary.
After coming back, we all layed down for a little while with the exception of Gloria and me to rest a little while. She and I set some water on to get hot to make some tea. When she was done she wanted to hear a song I was talking about at the nursing home and so we decided to go upstairs so I could play(attempting to) the piano without disrupting everyone else. Rick appeared to be interested as well and so after I went back downstairs to get myself some tea, the two of us went upstairs so he too could listen to this song. We talked for a few moments before deciding to be socialable and went back downstairs to have tea with everyone else who had gotten up.
OH, I have seemed to forget to mention that ever since Friday afternoon, and a pleasant talk with a friend, I have NOT stopped eating!! One, for fear I may be dangerously close to causing someone else to stop eating because of her concern for my health, but THAT is a different story. Two, I have not eaten very much all week long because I just simply wasn’t hungry and now I am. So, three cups of tea and 7 cups/bowls (yes seven!) of soup later I was up for that walk that Rick and I were talking about earlier in the car while on the way back to the church from the nursing home. (I felt tremendously fat/bloated after the 5th cup of soup…)
The two of us went for a walk, which turned into a run and then a race. (Which I must say, I DID win although he is quite the runner) The two of us went to the school which was a little over a mile away. I felt so much like dolly on her Sabbath walks I HAD to smile at the very thought of her and her friends being like Rick and I. We walked the entire campus, including 2 football fields, 2 soccer fields, lost of bball courts, two playgrounds(which we had fun going through!!) the back yard, through a field and the woods(sorta) and ended back at the church ankle high in mud that I stepped in! 

It did not end there! At 7pm we had a seminar with Shawn Boonstra (whose bday is today), Unlocking the Signs. And that is where the night ended, next to Rick at the sound table, operating it!  and looking for something in the bible and listening to the sermon.
