Yesterday, Sunday, I rolled out of bed in time to get the donuts to Emmanuel by 7.30, so the 8 o'clock congregation can enjoy them while waiting for the service. As I pulled into the car park someone else pulled in as well and offered to carry the boxes in for me, so I took that as sign to jump back in the car, and go back to bed. I did in fact go back to sleep and intended to go to an evening service somewhere - they don't have one at Emmanuel - but when it was time to leave there was a thunderstorm. I think it was the first time in years, and years, I have not been to church on Palm Sunday.
The attractive young woman in these pictures is Mohammad Ali's daughter, his ninth child, competing in a competition on the Food Network. All the contestants were stars in their own fields, competing in the finale, and she is the Womens' Boxing Champion. She's very pleasant, not mouthy like him. She said he was very worried when she went into boxing until she explained that she would be boxing women, not men.
Oklahoma is a very bad place for allergy sufferers, due to all the cedar trees. I think local authorities try to cut them down but there are too many of them, and at the moment every second person one bumps into is suffering from the effects of them. I cough and sneeze a bit, but nothing like as bad as some people suffer.
I can't believe there are three other places in the nation that suffer more than Oklahomans. I don't think they have got that right.
I had planned on going out this evening to see the lunar eclipse, the blood red moon, and Mars, all lined up. I feel very annoyed with myself for forgetting.
Tonight will be cold, but tomorrow looks better.
