After sticker shock at the grocery store yesterday today I bought gas. Nearly four-fifty up from my last fill-up. I feel sad for those heading to their summer homes.
I was beginning to think about spending at less part of the summer at my northeastern Arizona home, Much cooler there at 6,000 feet. The nearest small grocery store is a 60 mile round trip and Wal-Mart is 100 miles round trip. Plus I still have memories of the 377 wildfire nearly three years ago. Mostly I miss my church family when went I'm gone.
After Good Friday service, picking up a few shelf stable items at Ken's Discount Grocery and buying gas I headed home only to find I have a pinhole leak in my water hose. So off to buy a replacement. Try as I might, I don't have the strength to replace the hose and our assistant park manager quit.
Like Tevia from Fiddler on the Roof I asked God was that really necessary. For all my venting I'm blessed and the hose will be replaced. We are still able to come together in worship and remember especially on this day the great gift of salvation by grace we were given. It is ours to accept...
