The fishing trip was great but I still have the unanswered question as to how I can totally place my trust in God.  I see many others around me who do such and seem to be very happy with the decision.  Perhaps I belabor the point too much.  But in any case the quandary gums up the rest of my work with the book.  I am not about to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

 My seven children are in the best place that I have seen in many years.  Louis is working hard and feeling accomplished I think.  Stewart has fallen in love and said today how important it is to him.  Michael has called and found that his heart is doing fine and realizes that he is just dealing with tension and stress.  Douglas is recovering from his ankle and foot fracture.  Susan had a remarkable visit here.  Thom is headed toward an African vacation.  David is recovering from his foot fracture. Stewart and I visited his mom's columbarium today because it is Frieda’s birthday.  Who would dare ask for anything more?
