Krista and Luke are moving. The packers arrived today to pack their unaccompanied baggage. The irony is due to "military wisdom" they are not 100% sure where they are moving. They have been planning to go to Okinawa, but that is in a state of flux. Nonetheless, packers were scheduled, and they came. They will hold their things until they have a sure location - one wouldn't want their household goods in Okinawa if one's body ends up in the lower 48. ::snort:: We have some of their things stored at our place, so we got the fun of being involved in one last military move - 10 years after retirement!
Oh, the memories. It was fun to be an observer. What military member, or spouse, hasn't watched a group packing and thought, "It would really be so simple if you removed x and put y and z in it's place.
Nuska - short for Matanuska - stands guard! She kept the free range chickens from the truck and the packers in their place.
Nolan came over to visit - GG took the chance to get help with his puzzle!
Allie came arranged to swap shifts so she could come home early and go to Eagle River with us for the Good Friday service. Nolan, Krista, Carrie and I believe Jamin met us there. It was a meaningful and moving service. One thought that stays with me is where Jesus says one of the disciples will betray him. One by one the disciples ask, "Is it I, Lord?" Only Judas asks, "Is it me, Rabbi"....Judas saw Jesus as a good or interesting teacher. The others saw Jesus as LORD. Think on that. And this quote from Pastor Brian... Do I want God to remove me from hard situations or am I praying for him to remember me...
Such a good sermon - one more. The one criminal on the cross did the following 4 things. I can't find the link to the Good Friday sermon. If I eventually find it, I'll link it here.
Stacia DID get home at 1:40 a.m. (tomorrow morning I guess). Michael and Allie stayed up and went to meet her rather than dropping her car off. I woke up enough to welcome her home and settled for catching up on Saturday.
