The funny thing is that we're all so busy, nobody really took time to take pictures.  So it's all words tonight, but I'll keep it brief.  

We started knocking down the chimney so we could vent the hot water heater with a new metal stack.  The crazy and cool things about it:
1-  The part we needed was donated or else we would have had to drive an hour to go buy one from another store.  A friend of Don and Dort's happened to have what we needed in his barn.  

2-  When we were taking apart the chimney, the bricks just lifted off.  The mortar holding them together was almost non existent.  We did not have to chip away a single brick. They all just came right off in our hands.  

3-  Bob and Howard rebuilt part of the chimney so it will be high enough to create a draft so it sucks up the gas exhaust from the hot water tank. 

Ron and Leanne and Erin worked on stripping wallpaper, taping, and starting to prime the living room.  We will popcorn texture, orange peel texture and hopefully paint tomorrow.  '

Matt and Marie D. hosted us for dinner tonight.  That was cool.  

And our friend, Janet A. did devotions with us.  

And then Janet and Rod and Leanne and Erin went swimming in Lake Superior at 9:00pm.  Beautiful sunset.  Cold water.  

Big Prayer Request!-  
Tonight after devotions, Ron's leg started swelling up.  He decided, through the advice of a nurse and other observers to go in and get it checked out .  (Looks like cellulitis to me)  At this minute, he is at the hospital.  Please pray for Ron's health.  

It's been a good day.  Hot out.  Remind me to talk about the weather forecasts some time.  

Thank you for your prayers and support!  

Peace!
Rod

Are you a tool?

Christ has no body on earth but yours,
no hands but yours,
no feet but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which Christ's compassion for the world is to look out;
yours are the feet with which He is to go about doing good;
and yours are the hands with which He is to bless us now.
