This was a wonderful two days. Yesterday morning I went to the ladies' fellowship at church. I have such wonderful, supportive sisters in the Lord.
Anthony and Lori never did make it to our place, but we met up with them to eat together at Old Country Buffet in the afternoon while her students took care of things at the health fair in Lancaster. We had a great time with them, as usual, but it was too short.
Enid wanted Destiny for Saturday evening and overnight, so Dick took her there before he went to work at Advance Auto Parts. My sister Mary Ellen and I went to see the new movie End of the Spear. It's about the 5 missionaries that were killed in Equador years ago. However, it was sold out, to our great disappointment. So instead we rented two movies and came to my house. We watched one of them last evening.
This morning at church Dave and Chris Cox shared their story. They had been missionaries in Thailand, and have now been attending our church for almost two years. I have always appreciated them tremendously, but after this morning, I realize what a gift they are to our congregation. I was really touched by the things they shared.
After church we met my sister Mary Ellen and one of her friends at Olive Garden. Our son Sam had given us Olive Garden gift cards for Christmas. After lunch Mary Ellen came here again so we could watch the other movie we rented last evening. Dick went to the bedroom to watch the Steelers game. It's still not over, but they are AHEAD!! We are so excited about it. If they win today, they will be in the Super Bowl in two weeks. Dan Kreider, one of the Steelers players was a good friend of Anthony's in high school and ever since. We feel quite proud to know him!!
It was just great to have time to be an adult sister instead of a grandma this weekend. After Mary Ellen lived so far away all these years, it's so nice to be able to spend time with her. But now I'm starting to miss Destiny. We'll get a call sometime this evening about picking her up, and I'll be more than ready for her beautiful smile and her hugs and kisses!

Well, the Steelers are off to the Superbowl, and Anthony missed the end of the game. He was too busy being holy with his men's group at church, preparing for our 21-day Daniel fast that starts tomorrow!
Where is the End of the Spear showing? I have looked and looked. I want to see it too.
It's at the Regal Manor Cinema at the Manor Shopping Plaza.
