Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. ~ Matthew 5:4 Again, we have questions. Why are people mourning? How will they be comforted? Well, mourn is another word for grieve. So deep sorrow or regret; guilt. As far as being comforted, the Lexicon says, “not in words but by the experience of a happier lot or by a happy issue, equivalent to refresh or cheer”. What I understand here is that those who mourn over their sin-filled state and come to Jesus, will then be comforted that Jesus paid it all, earning us the right to be forgiven and become children of God. What better comfort could we ever enjoy?!?
When I said slower yesterday, I didn’t realize just how slow. lol
We did some form of exercise every day, be it walking or biking, but everything was very much the same. Not much noteworthy happened, which is highly unusual for us!
We believe they’re bees.
Church on the 23rd was at Spring Valley Baptist. It’s a nice church and very well attended with an age and racial variety, which is always good to see. The message was supposed to be on the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew, but the pastor transitioned over to Psalm 46 for the bulk of his meaningful message.
We passed the days blogging, working on various finance stuff and that’s about it. Or at least as far as we can remember.
On the 24th we moved not too far from Blaine’s younger brother, Bruce and his wife Donna. We’ll head over to visit on Tuesday afternoon. Should be a good time!
It was just under two hours of not too much. But we encountered hills! Real, honest-to-goodness hills! It’s been quite a while – probably since December when we left Alabama. And Blaine had a doozy of a time getting into this campground with its narrow roads, hills, sharp curves and potholes! I didn’t get any pictures because we were bouncing around too much.

One more stop after this and we’ll be home! Next week, it’ll be a five-hour drive.
