I’m running low on battery, so this will be a quicky. Thank you to all those of you who have been praying for Mark and me. I got a call from him this evening saying he has stopped for the night in Biloxi, MS. That means he still has a nine-hour drive ahead of him tomorrow. I kept busy today and I’ll be working tomorrow, so I’m doing better. Just, please, pray him home!

One of the regulars from Housekeeping was out today, so Mark and I were assigned to cover her day. I thought that the two of us would get the work of one person done in half the time. That didn’t end up being the case. Continue reading
We had only been working half a day when our boss, Mary Beth, asked Mark if he was sure he wanted to work in Wisconsin next summer.
