God has moved me to NOT follow through in applying for the full time jobs. Why? Beat the heck out of me until I got to my mom's house earlier this week. Mom is not doing very well. It's now clear to TH and I that I am going to have to make a series of visits out of state to help mom get some things in order. I have to find her upgraded medical care, straighten out some financial records that need attention, look for an assisted care place for my uncle and possibly work on managing and/or selling some of her properties. Two weeks ago this had never entered my mind. Now I am making doctor appointments and plane reservations.
Life is strange.
In the midst of all this chaos and change, a friend we visited this week gave us a check that will take care of many of our living expenses this month.
Oh, and another possible job popped up on the web for TH. He is applying tonight.
Prayers answered? Yes, but, true to God, not in conventional ways. Stay tuned. As usual, it promises to be a wild ride.

He never does it the same way twice. (Sounds like a marketing slogan!)
I am rejoicing with you, and we will continue to pray.
Your humility and faithfulness to wait on God are inspiring.
Enjoy God's provision this Sunday morning!
Much love from the Chalupa & me.
I am actually in SJ today--flying out this afternoon. I wanted to get together with you, but I guess you can see why that wasn't possible...
I have at least 4 or 5 trips coming up in the near future. I'll be staying with Mom in Watsonville, but I would love it if we could "do coffee or lunch" in SJ on some of the days I come back to the airport. This time, of course, I will give plenty of advance notice :))) Love you--talk to you soon---hugs and kisses to Chalupa.
Hi Marmot. Still praying for TH, for your entire family (because we love you), and for the ongoing job/$ circumstance.
Just wanted to leave a quick note to tell you I'm thinking of you, and that I dreamed last night that you & I were at an assembly of women (but not church). Alice was there too. You sang To Sir With Love, and it made me cry! (I actually really love that song!)
Anyway, that is the recycling bin of my unconscious -- you were there, and your voice was so lovely it made me cry! I'm still shaking my head, but it made me wake up with you on my mind, so here I am sending you a note of love and friendship! God bless you and your unique, creative, and lovable family. :)
