I do realize that there were some 'downs' today.  But I really didn't notice them much because there were so many more 'ups' that came our way.  Mostly though there was just hard work.  I did make a dent, but have so much more to get done.  I had a surprise this morning when Marv showed up just after 7:30 a.m. to go to work.  He told me that he would work one more day and then retire from doing this for me.  He figured that he's been working for me for 20 years.  He's almost 80 and his health is a real problem for him.  I look back and see that 5 of his sons (one still) have worked for me, and I think 2 of his grand sons.  Funny thing, before the day was out Stan called me and asked about his son starting to serve for me.  I hope I can recognize a blessing when I see it.  

 

Today is Sherri's birthday.  Hard to realize how long we have been doing this.  Got to see Colton today.  He turned 3 on Tuesday so he is now in his 4th year.  That is amazing too.  

 

Still have a long way to go in so many ways.  But I'll just keep on plugging away.  Don't get too fast, and don't get too slow.  Just keep on maintaining.
