I walked a mile with Pleasure;
She chatted all the way;
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.
I walked a mile with Sorrow,
And ne'er a word said she;
But, oh! The things I learned from her,
When sorrow walked with me.
Some of you I haven't gotten around answering. I see that I have zillions of emails waiting to be read, but fortunately, most that don't need answering immediately. I just want to let everyone know that Frontiernet is down. Since thunderstorm last Tuesday (week from yesterday), the Internet is down, and I have no access to Internet at home. Which means I would need to go to library or ask permission from my boss to use work computer to check my emails. Of course, I often don't feel like going anywhere in the evenings, so bear with me and I won't be answering or reading any emails until probably mid-July. Yes, mid-July, because I would have so many emails to catch up as soon as I get Internet at home until I finally could answer emails. Because no Internet, that means our videophone won't work. So please forbear with me here too. Thank you.

It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. (Proverbs 25:2)
I never forgot that verse. I recall a pastor use that verse to show that there are a lot of secrets that God didn't want us to know, as if to try to find out the secrets would be less honorable as kings are not as high as God. But when he mentions that verse, I read that verse myself, and my interpretation is that God don't reveal everything to us, but He sure does encourage us to search out the matter. In fact, if it is a honor of kings, surely it is a royal privilege, our birthright, to keep on learning.
I haven't yet find some truth that would be challenged and yet shine out as lie. Truth would always be truth, no matter what people say. Truth always win, no matter what you would learn otherwise. Only a ignorant would believe everything that come their way, rather than comparing it to time-tested truths of the Bible.
Well, I am trying to remember when was the last time I wrote the update. It would be a week or so, and I felt that I should get this written.
I believe it was some time before the Memorial weekend. I went home, thinking I would get Susan and Julia to come up to PA on Saturday afternoon, only to find that they had to wait on Janet. Forgive me, I wasn't thinking of Janet. But it does make sense if they all come up together to save gas. But I did enjoy the parade, although it wasn't as ritzy as it was last year. At least as I remember it.
It is too bad that Papa's laptop didn't work as smoothly as it should. I was surprised that he got one, though.
Susan really have a saleswoman's skill to try to wheedle me into Reliv business. It does seem appealing, but I guess I am pinching pennies. Although I am aware that if I give wholeheartedly to any business I dream up and tried to start, I would be prosperous today.
I forgot to mention in my last update that I got a new supervisor at work. Adam Whitman is a nice replacement for Keith Martin, and he is very nice man. In fact, we are pretty much alike in workplace thing. He start working for us the last week of April and he has been working at Plant #2 for 5 years already. He was a supervisor there for that long, and now he is mine. He works with me for two months toward Christmas as they shut down Plant #2 for awhile. That's how I knew I want him, because he is my type.
Cleanliness, efficiency, and all...that's Adam and I like that.
My computer sure is infected. I don't have much money to spend to get it fixed, but I am hoping for a new one in August on my birthday. Or maybe I would be serious about my business and I would have success in no time.
I do enjoy the weekend in Canada, although it sure remind me of my ever-enlarging body. People mentions my obesity, and I didn't like how my sisters disbelieve that I would lose weight. A road to hell is paved with good intentions, so I better be serious and do something about it. My weight stay steady around 200 pounds, but I didn't like how I felt when bending over and turning around on van while traveling to and from Canada. Even bending over to tie shoes are no fun. To think that Washington-Franklin Mennonite Conference don't allow slip-ons sure make me glad I am not part of them.
I slept with Moses Martin both nights, and I sure hate it. Next time I am going to sleep on the floor in the basement or maybe sleep over at Maynard's place. I find kindred spirit in Maynard, and I wish I have more time to discuss serious things with him.
Perhaps I should break free from Leon's vise and move around at my will. Leon don't really have that control over me, but I hate thinking how he sometimes say of others that they hate him now, just because they don't hang out with him as much as they used to. Like Charlene.
Edna Jane Martin and Anita are quite merry girls and their friends are affable as well. It amaze me how everyone of them are dating, except for Anita, Charlene, Lisa, Sarah Louise, and Rose. And how lovey-dovey they acted on way home. But it was so much fun traveling with Union County girls. Anita is a likely candidate, but I didn't want too big a change for her if I marry her or too big a change for me as well.
Charlene, Anita, Sarah Louise, and I all play Polish Rook. It is a new twist to Phrase 10, and I like that game. I hope to play that game again soon with someone who is willing. Maybe someday in Belize....
Well, this is all for now...We are talking about going to deaf gathering at Joe and Jeanette's place on first weekend of July...but I don't know. I felt it is bit unwise, but I hate missing out the fun.
On way to Canada, we stopped at Marineland. I was so glad to get to experience all things they have to offer, including the rides. I remember being there with my family once, and I want to have a ride. Now I finally did...
I sure am glad to be home, and there isn't other trip until last week of June. Oh my, I am looking forward to that one....
Until later...
