As is my norm, Thursday is my day at attend Bible study at Victory Lutheran. Practicing my newly determined discipline to not go near the computer within an hour of having to be somewhere, I opted to read instead of getting up once waking this morning. Before dressing, I started to read a copy of the report from the LES Team, a comprehensive version of the slide show they presented when at my church in February. Somehow I will find a way to incorporate parts of this report into the church newsletter these next few months. Anyway, back to my discipline: Wednesday I was nearly late getting to Thrasher-Horne to meet Chris because of writing my blog posting----I hate when that happens! Once during Lent I nearly forgot to go to church because of whatever I was doing on the computer. Let us see how this works out, my new discipline, that is!

When I came out of my room, Joanne was in the kitchen making some coffee, still complaining about her sore throat. She was wondering what had become of me this a.m. because she had not heard a peep from me, and I told her I do not say the words aloud any longer when I read them....I headed toward Victory after stopping for a soda to-go, and called Mom, as usual, for this longer ride. She was surprised I had not gotten her e-mail telling me about the Air Force Band concert as well as the LWMS Rally, so I asked her to send it again. She also wondered why I had not posted anything yesterday in the blog, and I told her that I did---twice! She said, "Well, it wasn't there when I checked!", which naturally means I did not write! We had a chuckle over this, well, at least I did, and I suggested she check more than once a day. She said is too busy to be sitting in front of the computer all day, to which I say, touche! Good answer, Mom! She is busier than me, that is for sure!

Her e-mail did show up this afternoon, forwarded to me by my sister, Lori, who was the actual recipeint of the message. Both our addresses begin with the word "kim" and Mom sometimes clicks the wrong one! Good thing she did not say anything nasty about Lori in the e-mail intended for me! Plus, Mom sent a comment to one of the postings, so now I know she has caught up!

Just as Mom accused, I have sat in front of this computer from the moment I returned home, getting one of the newsletters out this afternoon. That leaves the church letter and the one for The Palace. I was unable to attend the Board meeting last night due to choir rehearsal so hope to get a rundown soon on what took place to include in the newsletter. When I got home this late morning, I had the chance to express my sympathies to the family of the man who died. They had busily been packing his belongings, starting already on Tuesday evening, and today, they head back to Miami. Such a sad, tragic situation for all involved, and even those not.
