We went to late service this morning. Our friend Danny is looking for a different place to go to church so we picked him up so he could try out Trinity. He said he gave it an A+. They had a guest preacher today so I didn’t pay as close attention. He did have a part where he was talking about Jesus calling Lazarus out of the grave and I had actual chills listening and imagining what that would have been like and inwardly rejoicing in Jesus’ power. I’m so glad that Jesus is able to do that.

I made two solid meals for Dad and the boys today. They’re all kind of tired and worn out from the meets. For two and a half months our minds are focused on track so we entertain the ideas of how state could happen and who could go in this relay and the thoughts are different depending on who the person is thinking them. It used to bother me more but now I’ve learned this is part of it. I try to tell them that they don’t need to PR every time and that even being able to run the same time but have it be easier would be considered improvement.

It was a nice Sunday resting. There were walks outside and the boys playing chess and grown ups taking naps. It wasn’t quite warm enough to swim. I feel like it’s going to be harder to get in the water this year because it seems like each year I am more afraid of the animals. I used to imagine a cheetah or a jaguar or something with its head swimming toward me. This time I’m worried about the beavers that are the length of a six foot man. Even the swimming seems far away sometimes.
