DAY + 37 AUGUST 22

Psalm 103:1-5 "Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits- who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's."

I'll begin with a report on the steak dinner last night. Becky was so tired after the trip to the hospital and all the walking that she did, that she wasn't up to going out for dinner. BJ called Jan, a friend here in St. Louis, to see if there was a good steak place that we could go get it and bring it back here. She said a Friday night wasn't a good time since there was a football game downtown and the other places would be really busy. She volunteered to get steaks and grill them and bring them here. After some discussion back and forth, Jan brought steak, grilled veggies, brauts, and salad and Barb fixed baked potatoes. It was a much better steak dinner than we could ever have gotten at a restaurant and there was even enough to have for lunch and supper today. A big thanks to Jan for a great meal.

Today Jessica, Becky's daughter, came for a visit for a few days of her vacation. We went out this afternoon to the park and walked 10 to 15 minutes and then I brought her and Jessica back to the apartment and I went to get a few other items from the store that we needed. She is still recuperating from the long walks yesterday but we did enjoy the cooler weather and the walk in the park. It was interesting that there were more men in the park sunbathing than women.

The TV has been on the Solheim Cup, women's golf, all day long. It's a competition between the USA and Europe. We can't play the game but enjoy watching it. Go USA!!

Not much else from here. We thank the Lord for all of you and pray that you all may have a good day in worship tomorrow .

Love,
Becky and Barb
