It has been quite a week: bombing at the Boston Marathon, suspected pipe bomb at Purdue (it wasn't a bomb), massive fire and devastating explosion at a fertilizer plant in Texas, and torrential rains and flooding in Chicago and the greater metropolitan area. Additionally this week also marks the anniversaries of the Titanic sinking, Columbine shootings, the Oklahoma bombing, the Virginia Tech massacre, the botched rescue at the Branch Davidian complex in Waco, Lincoln's assassination and Hitler's birthday. Not exactly a list of events that makes one thankful.
Still, I am thankful for several things:
Safe travels to and from Iowa City for K and T, even if they didn't get to see Neil deGrasse Tyson
A successful presentation for N to his cohorts and advisers at the VA
Continued progress and healing for AF from injuries sustained in a cycling accident
A time of fun and fellowship at KS's bridal shower
Our sump pump is running -- this means there's water in the crawlspace, but it also means that the sump pump is working to get the water out
GAI's basement only had a little bit of water, even after five inches or so of rain, and the furnace and hot water heater both are still working
The car repairs for the Suburban were less than the mechanic anticipated
Thank you LORD!
