I had felt good after Church Sunday, but was exhausted when I got home, so I spent much of the afternoon just resting, but it felt good to feel tired from actually doing something, rather than feeling tired from doing nothing at all. I was glad that I had spent Sunday morning , and early afternoon. I had worried that I would not be able to get out without having something go wrong, without having hurtful things said, but I was reminded that I could not let others limit me.

Tuesday I was able to stay home and rest, because I didn’t have any appointments, or anywhere to go really, so I just hung around the house, spent sometime reading the word, as well as going through Bobe’s journals. I found wisdom as well as encouragement in Proverbs 17

2 An intelligent slave will rule a shameful son

and share the inheritance with the brothers.

3 The crucible [tests] silver, and the furnace [tests] gold,

but the one who tests hearts is Adonai.

4 An evildoer heeds wicked lips;

a liar listens to destructive talk.

5 He who mocks the poor insults his maker;
