searching for relief

from the heat, the "boys" took a little dip in the lake yesterday afternoon.  They had to go out away from the edge to get to the water that wasn't hot.  If you have seen any of the national weather reports, we are in the middle of an extreme heat warning.  Don's waiting for Bubba to air up his float.100_7622Lucy takes Bubba's float to him, flat.  Bubba got the job of airing up both floats.  100_7623That's how he got his choice of the purple float instead of the pink one he gave Don. 100_7627  Our plan was to have a picnic under a shade tree, but it was too intolerably hot for us girls, being the delicate flowers that we are.  So... our fried chicken picnic was enjoyed in the cool of our 5'er.

After our "picnic," we went to see the movie, Swing Vote.  Some parts of this movie were entertaining, but Kevin Costner's character couldn't seem to keep from using profanity, so that really ruined the movie for us.  We would not recommend it.  In the middle of our Bible study about the Names of God, how awesome and wonderful He is, how He suffered for each of us...  it's really heartbreaking to hear His name used so vainly and disrespectfully.  I know, not everyone understands who God is.  That's why we are doing what we do in this ministry, praying that we can share our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ with others who don't know Him.  And encouraging those who do know the Lord to do the same as we wait patiently, expectantly and faithfully for His return.

Good to see that Don is keeping cool in the lake. Hasn't it been just terrible with the heat and humidity. This morning it was so much better in KC as it was in the 60s and dry air has moved in, so it will be to Branson soon. Keep cool!!
