This and That............

St Marc had their holiday. Every year, St Marc gears up for St Marc Day. I, in my ignorance, thought it was a celebration of the birth of this city. But, that's way off and I finally learned what it is about. St Marc! It's a Catholic holiday here in St Marc. If you look at the banner you will see an arch type thing. That is the image and reason we have St Marc Day. We happened on this parade as we were returning from an excursion into a different part of the city (outside the city actually in an area called Holt St Marc, the "suburbs" very tropical and empty--it was sort of a Sunday afternoon ride on Saturday). So, here was this "thing" on top of a truck and hundreds of people following it and my education as to why we have St Marc Day. St Marc, according to the Haitians is an angel that they celebrate. Are you getting this? This is a very demonic holiday. The witch doctors come in with their paraphenalia and sell witchcraft!! So goes the city.

Ed and Jan our "Willing Workers" were at it again. I needed to have inventory taken and by gum! the Reeds were right on it. They worked an entire day, sorting, counting and recording what we have in this house.
Now when we come home I'll know exactly what needs purchased for next fall.

When they finished they were exhausted but that's our team! We've had an exceedingly wonderful year.

I'm about finished with the dissertation, six weeks in a chair is a long time!

Have a blessed day and remember He is faithful who promised!

Praise Him!
