My life has been appreciably better since I decided that broken pretzels don’t have any calories (the calories fall out, you see).

Thank you Linda and Terry Blessing for helping with the music today, advice thank you Ali Mummert and Carl Mummert for watching Jonathan, and thank you Jen Rhine for being my brain today. 🙂

Today I sang the hardest song I’ve ever had to do. I’ve done “How Great Thou Art” hundreds of times and never had a problem, but something about singing it at my grandfather’s funeral made it tough to get through. But Pop-Pop and I always shared music as a bond, so I couldn’t think of a better way to honor him.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, pharm everyone! 🙂

I lost my Pop-Pop this morning. He died of heart failure around 2:00 AM. And now my heart is broken, story too. He was a wonderful and wise man whose life was marked by service to others. I learned so much from him and I love him and miss him terribly. Please pray for my Grandma.

We’re out of dog food, so tonight Jack is having a lovely combination of dog treats, baby carrots, and Multigrain Cheerios.
