Note that this tree was cut, not blown over. They only missed by 180 degrees.

(Remind me to tell you about my cherry '72 Chevy truck and the tree that also went the wrong direction.)

Sue sent me a message that my blog's appearance was getting boring. So I went into the controls and changed everything up. I chose this one because it looks a little like carbon fiber and that seemed cutting edge. Italian supercar-ish. If you hate the new look blame Sue.

I don't understand how/why it works. But I think the kids of home schoolers, especially if their mom's name is Sue, should work at mastering this trick. In the dining room. Practice 'til you get it right.

Tomorrow we'll be back in the mid-80's and the plan is a 40-miler. I'll start mid-morning.

I'm looking forward to Sunday. Some anxiety about my message because it's a different type of sermon for me. In the second hour - Foundations - we'll be finishing up our study of the 10 Commandments. I won't speak for them, but I've enjoyed this series and learned a lot. Thinking about coveting this week has be profitable.
