Psalm 51

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love...Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me... Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness...Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me...

A Gorgeous Summer Day

It was a beautiful summer day yesterday. I searched the internet and found a nearby orchard and decided to go pick sour cherries. This is where I went - only about 20 minutes away from campus toward Harrisburg. Pick your own sour cherries were $.95/lb which I thought was a good price. I also bought some peas and new potatoes which I hulled and cooked for dinner, and some transparent apples for applesauce, which was good but not as good as our apple tree back home. I absolutely loved that I could get out and enjoy the summer day and some fresh produce and still be at home in the evening during "work" time.

Unfortunately - no one here really cares for peas and potatos. I love it. and GREAT deal on the cherries. I've NEVER seen a price that low - even for sour ones. how kind of God to allow you a relaxing day to enjoy some of your favorites with just Mike... did mike eat the peas/potatoes?; July 9, 2009 at 7:10 AM

I love peas and potatoes! Yours was probably better too since I couldn't find any potatoes yet under our plants. Glad you found some good food!
Missed you guys this weekend.; July 15, 2009 at 7:54 PM
