Dinner on Saturday became an appetizer of cold leftovers and a main course of take out pizza, as we had a power outage that began just as I was beginning dinner and took nearly two hours before it was back. About an 11 square mile area was affected. This is after months of their replacing power poles. After months of multiple power outages each week, sometimes each day, with the lame explanation that there were lots of birds on the line. As though that hadn't been the case every single year we have lived here. Oh, and then they started replacing everything shortly afterward. Hmmmm. We are not thrilled with our local power company. So, that dinner has been moved to Monday night.

Our friends did end up delivering their little girl and just over 28 weeks. Her mother is in a lot of pain, both physically and emotionally, and though their daughter is doing well, for her situation, and is a fighter, she still could use all sorts of prayer to get her through the weeks and months that are to come.
