Four threes in just four minutes
Go you number 4!

Saturday Sabbath
Just stop what I am doing
Pray – do something else

Heart sick, Texas floods
Belly sick, heat exhaustion
God’s tunnel of fire

(Edward) Hopper’s golden blonde
I wonder what she’s reading
Who she’s waiting for

Doctor Joe Kim’s touch
Receive his confident words
Be ye thereby healed

Following the kids
Into their holy laughter
They’re the ones with joy

My second Sabbath
Moved some wood, read good books, prayed
Waiting for the warm

Look in the Scriptures
Describe a fact which reveals
A mystery, oh!

For six tubes of blood
I fast all night, half the day
Dinner NOW with Marc

My labs are all good
Deem and Liu, getting it right
Good for this old guy

Just picking up ball …
Even riding in the cart …
Golf exhausted me (but I loved playing with Marc)

Those huge rolling clouds
Against those lush soybean fields
Illinois beauty (add pic)

Organist and a big crowd
But we left early

Noon Lakehouse music,
Porch Camp clarinet, fiddle
Accordion … dance!

Corn flakes, and Eric
Lake Lulu, gospel memories
Let the good times roll

More than I can know
Present my requests to God
Bow my head and wait

Hotter than blazes
Even here in Urbana
Corn’s growing quickly

Great time with my friend
Meet halfway, get a big hug
Give a big one too

With Ron for breakfast
Mary Lou and Chris for lunch
County fair between

That makes eight so far
Another puzzle finished
Table, chairs, window

Lightning, thunder, storm
Torrents pouring down at dusk
Our puzzle beckons

In Waynesville for a day
Blessed by Marlene, Cheryle’s song
Survived the sermon

Critical spirit
Can contain love of Jesus?

Any poisoned issue where
Everyone agrees
