Gym news

Our gym has been locked up since May 7th. It is the craziest thing really. We have a beauty parlour in the gym also and the mean ole city people came when the gym was closed but the beauty parlour was open. So the lady that runs the beauty parlour talked to the guys and made them angry, which may be why we didn't get a warning about the closure. They asked her to step outside and while they were talking to her they put a lock on the door. That's it! So everything is inside (hopefully no customers).

This past week we have gone to the city office to see if we can get the door opened for a day to get the equipment out. This isn't the first visit to the city offices. Back in May there were several visits and then in June too. So it turns out that some of the workers have not been showing up for the past three weeks, kind of a strike. I guess they are striking because of a new rule being inforced regarding the removal of cows off the street. Anyway, the guy in charge of our case is one of the workers who has chosen to not come to work. Not very helpful for us. And aparently he is being transferred to another department so our case has to go to someone else. But no one knows were the file is right now.

So now where things stand is that we will go back to the city office and find the new case worker and plead with them to open the door for us. Even other city workers tell us they are surprised it is taking so long just to get our things out.

Hot town!

Of course you have heard me complain about the heat lately. This will be a regular thing for the next couple of months. I looked on CNN weather page to see just how hot it was and it said at midnight that it was "99 and dreary". So true. We are thankful for electricity and air conditioners. When I do aerobics I turn the a/c on and it makes it bearable. You would think that the fat would just melt off. The problem is that ice cream is so cold and refreshing. Then there are mango shakes. yum.

Redeemed

Psalm 49:7-8 “No man can by any means redeem his brother.  Or give to God a ransom for him.  For the redemption of his soul is costly.” It is an amazing thing when someone comes to faith in God.  Last night I got to witness my brother in-law give his life to Jesus.  His life was redeemed.  The ransom for his soul was paid by Jesus long ago, but yesterday he was set free. My brother in-law was in darkness.  He knows his life was full of darkness and demonic presence.  He has been hearing about Jesus for years and knew that if he ever decided to become a follower that he would do it completely, not half heartedly.  He finally saw that he needed Jesus.  So yesterday he prayed a beautiful prayer acknowledging his need to get rid of the darkness in his life and knowing he can’t do it on his own.  Jesus filled his life.  My brother in-law said he felt something leave.  It was the darkness.  Jesus has filled his life...

The Party

Last night I went to Allison's (sis in-law) batchlorette party. It was at a mexican restaurant/bar. It was a very crowded place so we weren't able to get a big table all together. Allison and her girl friends were at one table and the old folks (me and others) were at our own table (feeling awkward). Allison showed up at the place drunk already, from a bit too many drinks in the limo. I thought it would be embarrassing to be around your mother in-law to-be and your grandmother in-law to-be, but she didn't seem too worried about it. Allison wasn't a bad drunk really. She was a little loud, but not obnoxious. I felt old. I had a new dress on, but I ended up looking like an old lady instead of a young thing. I had some nice shoes on too. But my purse, which looked fine at home, turned into an old lady purse. It was also cold out, so I had a shawl. I'm glad I had it but it just added to the old lady look. I don't drink for two reasons. First, I am che...
