Today we went to K's moms and visited with her for about an hour. She seems to be doing pretty good and she enjoys visiting with the kids. K's dad was gone to Rockwood with a load of scrap so we didn't see him. K was going to borrow a grease gun from his dad but since we didn't see him we stopped by Advance Auto and bought one there. Money is kind of tight this month but he really needed to grease those bearings before he tore up his truck again.

We took his truck for a test drive after he got the bearings greased and stopped by to see my brother, E, and his family. Today was his oldest daughter, M's, first full day of school. She seems to have had a good time. E was playing Socom as usual and D, his wife, was cleaning up dinner. The kids always like to go and visit their family.

The kids and I swam today after they got home from school. The water was awesome. It felt like a warm bathtub. I love having a swimming pool. None of the kids are scared of water, which is a good thing.

I am reading The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. I went to a yard sale and the preacher there told me that I could have it if I would read it. It is an interesting book. I am on Chapter 6. I read Chapter 5 today and I really got something from it. I really questioned where God was after Dad died. I felt like God deserted me. I felt like God didn't want me. I would beg God to come into my life but I never felt His presence. I still don't feel His presence but I am still searching and believe that after I pass this test then maybe I will be a stronger Christian. I believe that part of my purpose being on this Earth is to educate and bring my children closer to God. I will be working towards that purpose now.
