            As I woke I was still tired but not as weary.  Still tired from Sunday but it is worth the pain and the struggle.  As I worship with God’s people My Love blesses me as I bless Him.  That blessing lasts so much longer than the pain.  During the service I had that punch in the side and lost my breath.  But I still stayed and was able to receive Communion, in both ways.

            Bonnie and I continue our devotion and time of prayer together.  This has become the best part of my day and it makes me feel bad we didn’t do it more.  Many times Bonnie asked and though I tried several times I never kept it up.  Sorry to Bonnie and to the Lord.

            The news about the shooting in Las Vegas is so terrible with over 50 dead and more than 200 wounded.  Almost as bad is the hatred coming from this.  Some cry out that they were glad for the slaughter since most Country Music fans are Republicans.  She lost her job but I fear for her soul.  We are so divided and the Church in America is so lethargic.  Rather than speaking words of hatred or despair let us call on God who is the only help in our time of need.  Oh, well, I guess I am still a preacher at heart.
