Touched by several inquiries about how I fared this morning and with
your safety in mind, I post the following account of my harrowing
morning after chapel.
 
*note: these photos represent a live documentation of an actual event
and have not been subjected to any form of retouching; no photographers
were harmed during this event.*

I was quietly studying in my room this morning, subdued by the recent
loss of J.P. – I had kept the garbage bag in memory of his selfless
sacrifice. (Not to worry, the bags are only dangerous if they are empty
and therefore, hungry.

Anyhow, I  was just sitting there when another garbage bag jumped me!

I had feared this, having exposed their plot to take over the RCI, I
knew that the bags would see me as a threat and try to take me out. A
brief struggle ensued as the garbage bag totally engulfed me.

This might have been the untimely end of Amy Jones. However,
strengthened by the fact that I had not had any spinach in the last
month, I was able to bust out of the bag!

The bag was much stronger than I had anticipated, and despite the fact that I knew it was useless, I tried to fight the bag.

I fought to the best of my abilities but to no avail. While delivering
a particularly vicious kick, the bag wrapped itself around my legs,
throwing me to the floor. I drug myself across the room and with my
last ounces of strength managed to grab the only other weapon I knew
of….

Duck Tape!!!

Just the sight scared the bag so badly that I was able to gain the
upper hand and secure the bag where it couldn’t bother me again!

I scoured our room for any more perpetrators, and quickly strung them up, along with J.P.’s bag – just in case.

Unfortunately one escaped under the door and is still out there!

So beware of the garbage bag, and be thankful it was just a little one.
Remember that duck tape is the key, I’m just sorry that I didn’t find
out fast enough to save J.P.
So properly prepare yourselves and set up your own home security system.

Today we had the Lord’s supper at church so we taught our girls Sunday school class about it.
The
girls didn’t realize that the Lord’s supper was really the Passover
feast or even that the Passover feast came from the Exodus. After
showing them some of the background and stuff, we broke up and examined
ourselves. I had a really good time as far as realizing how my past sin
had no effect on me any more. I kind of pictured myself soaring up
through the clouds as layer by layer the old man fell off of me and I
became a translucent being – just my soul, which is all that will be
seen on judgement day. I know it sounds funny but it’s hard to put into
words. I just know that it was a freeing and wonderful realization and I just wanted share it.

Well, yesterday Stacie took her very last test, she is done! From
September last year to October of this year she has diligently worked
and as soon as this tet score is registered she will be the possesor of
120 college credits. Way to go Stacie, the Lord as blessed your diligence.

We got our election ballots in the mail. We voted for God’s definition
of marriage. We sent them off in the mail. I love democracy. Get out
there and vote people!

Today we went to Detroit to teach the girls Sunday school class, then
on to the Henry Ford Museum to see Greenfield village. The class went
really well as we studied the command, Follow Me. We arrived (after
many turns and “detours”) and breezed in on our memberships.
   
We had read that there would be food cooked in the manner of that time
period so we turned down lunch in favor of that. Unfortunately the food
was for looks and not for eating so our stomachs growled as we looked
on – we were mighty glad to get home and eat.
                 
There were at least a thousand pumpkins    Jeanne tries her hand at safe cracking
           but this one was unique.
 
We met this sweet little lady in the     
      Stacie and Jeanne were a little disappointed
             
jewelers shop             
               to
find out that Amy had misinformed them
               
              
              
              
   about the food -Jeanne was VERY hungry
I finally bribed Jeanne to get me off the tracks by suggesting that we
could get some cereal back at the Inn. A little confusion with
directions getting back – I tell you, people in Detroit don’t know
beans about where anything is, Stacie and the map did muh better. All
in all, a really good day, praise God for a chance to just enjoy life
as He gives it out.
