There is so much going on all the time, and so so so so much sickness.  We just found out yesterday, a sister is having some heart problems, she needs open heart surgery, however, the doc is concerned she is high risk because of her age and health so he doesn't want to do the surgery.  And she doesn't want the surgery.  Plus she has some respiratory problems as well.  there is just always something going on. 

Last night EO and I were finding out, that we are now out of money.  All the money we had set aside for all the running that he has been doing is gone now.  The problem is, we expected Carol would be home by now.  Well, we thought she would have been home weeks ago.  IT has been 69 days since the last time she saw her home and 73 days since this whole thing began.  So he was looking at his service time, and sighing and was planning on service today, then figured out, how much gas he would use, and then figured we need gas for tomorrow to go to the Assembly, and then Monday to go back up as he wanted to be with his mom while she gets her first round of Chemo, as well as see Dave and the family as he is having shoulder surgery tomorrow.  And we just don't have the money for it.  

We already knew the answer to this, go in service, go to the assembly and Jehovah will make sure we have what we need to get to those two places and then what he needs to be with his mom.  So we prayed about it, and I prayed again last night, and again after I woke up (he was already gone in service).  We have borrowed from the kids... until Colton can get a pass his test and get a job, he does't have much money at all.  Lauren to is short of funds.  Same with Steph.  Payday is at the end of the week.  

It makes me feel bad that I bought a $10 shirt and went out to dinner, granted it was only $20 but still.  Oh well. I'm sure something will come up, Jehovah always makes sure we get to where we need to be.  For a moment EO considered not going in service, but that thought quickly got flushed out.  

So it was about 6pm before i got to go lay down.  My thinking was so slow, that I couldn't make heads or tails of these evacuation bags.  I never did get the list finished.  It was just a good thing I got Colton's pants done first, because I got no where with these bags.  

This morning, I struggled to get up.  The first thing I did was I did my morning worship.  Then I was going to go do a few other things, and I figured with as tired as I was, I had better study my WT for tomorrow.  So at least that is all done, so whatever unimportant thing I try to do today, the good stuff was taken care of first.

Oh, so the other night when EO & I were out to dinner, I told him about some of the details about what I learned when I read the Jan 15, 2014 Study WT.  The one thing that struck me the most and we talked about for some time, was how we need to be honing our teaching skills for the millions (i think it said billions, but could be wrong) who are resurrected.  It would be different, because we won't have to convince them that Jehovah has a personal interest in us, as they will know it when they are resurrected. Now, we have to convince and reason with people that not only is Jehovah interested in us, and he wants a relationship with each one of us, but we also deal with people who don't believe he is real and don't think they are accountable to anyone for their actions.  We just won't have that anymore.  But I really hadn't thought about just how many people I personally would have a share in teaching.  Right now we number almost 8 million, and then those bros and sis who will be resurrected another 3 million??  Even if there are 12-15 million witnesses, and there are even half a billion people (just grabbing a number) resurrected, 500million divided by 15 million, is 33.  what if it were 1 billion resurrected that would be 66 for each Witness to help.  OK, I know they won't all be resurrected at the same time, I am just saying. I hadn't considered the actual numbers before. Only because we don't know what the numbers even will be.  But after reading that WT, it got me thinking about the numbers.  So EO and I talked about it, and more about what the people may have had to deal with in their lives.  Some may have been slaves.  Some wealthy.  Some very poor.  Some abused, some abusers.  

EO & I just enjoyed considering what exciting things are yet to come, and what we can do now to be making improvements. It really made our dinner enjoyable.
