SUSAN'S FINALLY GOTTEN AROUND TO HER DUSTING

(photo of an enormous beige cloud descending on a desert settlement)

This picture shows:

An eruption of dust kicked up by Susan’s sudden decision to clean the window blinds throughout her house after procrastinating for several years.

Rare color photo taken in the 1930s Dust Bowl of Thayer County, Nebraska, near Carleton, or so an old friend who used to live there surmised, even though they didn’t have color photography then, which just must explain why it is so doggone rare.

Sandstorm traveling 60 mph into an air base at Al Asad, Iraq, on Tuesday, and circulated on the Internet with the amusing caption, “Run, Forest!”

Praise report: We thank You, Father, for good news on the health front: our beloved friend Cindy has a normal white-blood count after two rounds of chemotherapy for chronic leukemia – moving from a level of 400,000 to 7,000 in less than two months, which is amazing, miraculous and wonderful, though she still has two more rounds of chemo and a bone marrow transplant ahead of her. We thank You, too, for the excellent healing of a broken arm and an eye problem, both sustained by our dear relative Robbie in Durham, N.C., who is still willing to host our daughter’s graduation party in a few weeks despite those health challenges. Bless and keep these two marvelous and righteous women, Lord, and draw them to Your heart. (Psalm 146:8)
