It is 9:49 AM Sunday morning in the flow of divine providence. This morning here by Lake Michigan it is wet and gray. During the night it rained so everything is drenched this morning. Beth, Andy and Louisa leave this afternoon for Grand Rapids Mich.. Andy's family lives in Grand Rapids and they are going to visit them before leaving for Arizona this coming Friday.

Carol and I got up this morning around 6 o'clock AM. Right now I feel like a train wreck. I hardly slept last night. The rain storm and the humid weather kept me awake most of the night. I plan to spend the week ahead resting from life.

I have not read anything this morning or written in my paper diary. I have been making sure everyone has been fed this morning. Next I will clean the kitchen next.

Last night I read my books and went to bed early. The last book I read last night was, "Lost in the Forest" a novel by Sue Miller. I do remember reading also yesterday, "Alternating Current" by Octavio Paz.

Well I will close to clean and wait for the Rapture.

"13] But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
[14] For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
[15] For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
[16] For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
[17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
[18] Wherefore comfort one another with these words." First Thess. 4:13-18
