  Let the incense which is my life and my prayers arise as a sweet fragrance to you.

  
  

  
  
  I’m sitting here and can’t believe it’s Sunday night once again. Another week, and where did it go?
  
  So this will be a little long, but I felt the need to catch up with what has been happening with us over the past few days.
  
  We are making progress on our studio, even tho it doesn’t feel like it. The past few days have been filled with us sorting out the various boxes we took out from the garage, attic and basement. I don’t know who many times I would look at a box and ask myself  “WHY DID WE KEEP THIS??”
  
  Friday morning we had our VERY LARGE tree trimmed as well as a couple other small trees removed. We are cleaning up the yard as there are a few places we see we can ‘sculpt’ as locations to use for outdoor pictures. We want to be able to take as many pictures as possible in our studio or yard.The weather cooled down for us on Friday, but then it started to rain late Friday afternoon.
  
  Friday night we were invited as guests of honor to a dinner by many of our friends from the church we just left. For those who don’t know, after months of prayer, we felt that our season at The Rock of Granite Bay was over. Our last Sunday was last month, and this was a wonderful evening. Food, Friends and Fellowship. It was great to get together with friends and just hang with each other for a night. They ended the night by praying over us. We felt very encouraged, and it was a great way to end one season and celebrate the transition into the next.
  
  Saturday we worked in the yard (again). Kerri continued to sort and pack away while I ran to the dump twice and then to the Goodwill Donation Store twice. Except for one last load to the Goodwill store, we are now down (we think) to all we want to keep and are now just deciding where it will be stored. Then more rain.
  
  Today we went to the new church we decided to attend for a season., and the worship was great. The pastor started a three part series on The DaVinci Code. Although the author of the book claims his book is completely accurate, there are MANY “facts” in the book that just don’t stand up to scrutiny.

  Then we went to our dear friends, the Fiorenza’s to celebrate their daughters college graduation. We took a few pics – the one at the top was from the party. We saw many of our friends again,as well as a few we hadn’t seen in a long time!!
  
  Then came the intellectually stimulating part of the day – our son had a couple DVD’s he had borrowed from a friend of the series “The Office.” Very random, and pretty much makes ANY work environment appear normal.
  
  And now here I am writing this. It’s raining out still, but i think it will clear up tomorrow so we can get out into the yard/studio again.  Once we get the yard and house cleaned up, we have to finish cleaning the studio, paint the ceiling, walls and seal the cement floor. Then we will get the support system for the lighting and backdrop taken care of. Also, one of our friends is an electrician, and he is coming over Friday night. He will look at the garage to make sure there aren’t any electrical issues we need to take care of.
  
  It all sounds so simple, but I know in practice it will seem like it takes forever before the studio is done and ready to start using. We’ll post more news when we have it.
  
  Bless you!
