Hello,
Just a short note or I think it will
be short to let you know that I am still here even though I have not written
for a couple days.
Leroy worked at the museum today, while
I volunteered at a church event. I was a greeter in the early time opening the
door and welcoming. I rather enjoyed that. Then it was on to duty in the upper
hall helping people find their way to the room that was eluding them. I was
able to attend two of the sessions. In addition I got to hear most of the key
note speaker and sing praise in the closing worship. I always feel privileged
to learn new things and think about them for a time. I was especially happy to learn
that progress has been made to keep malaria at bay for some. The death rate for
children has moved from one death every 30 seconds to one death every 60
seconds. The change agents have been education, prevention, and medication.
One of the wonderful benefits from
this meeting was that some of our good friends were there. We met with one
couple last night and with another after Leroy closed the library today. What
gifts are the joys of visiting with others! Certainly that is a gift from God.
Yesterday afternoon I spend time with
one of the people with whom I had gone to library school. It was so refreshing
to catch up with her. It is interesting how it is so easy to slip into a good
talk with some people. Blessings, Blessing! Thank you, thank you.
There were other people that I hugged
and enjoyed talking to at the event today. It makes me realize that is one of
the positives of this less than settled life we have been living.
Paula
