birthday invitation

Today was the men’s breakfast at church and I had the devotion. I showed a DVD comparing the Book of Mormon with the Bible. I only showed 11 minutes of it but a great deal of discussion followed. I was really surprised at how well it went. As we left I saw pastor who said he was going to bring up my request to be sponsored by OSLC to be a lay minister at the church council meeting. I came home and we went to the lake. Evelyn walked and I used their computer to dump e-mail. I then walked opposite from what she did and met her. We came home and had a piece of my birthday pizza for lunch. I tried to make Evelyn take a nap because she had not gone to sleep until 5 AM this morning. Instead she iced my birthday cake that she wanted to serve to the family tonight. I finally got her to lie down while I cleaned the carport and watered the new plants. I also watered our flower garden we planted last summer. We called Tom and Stacy to see when they would arrive and learned they would not be coming until tomorrow. This was just as well because we had a marriage encounter meeting for dinner. We went and had a nice meeting but one of the women talked on and on. I didn’t think things stuck to a marriage encounter format. We arrived at 5, ate at 6, and left at 8:45. When we went home we went into the house and the Rogers knocked almost immediately. We had a beer and a long conversation with them. They wanted to invite us to their daughter Kimberly’s birthday party next Sunday afternoon. When they left, I wrote this and watched the news. The week ahead looks pleasant but doesn’t contain any prediction of rain which is desperately needed.
