Labor Day weekend is here. For my international readers, Labor Day is the first Monday in September in the USA. In our minds here, it represents the end of summer because it is our last three day weekend with warm weather. When I was a child, it was a sad day because it was the day the neighborhood swimming pool was drained and closed until the next summer.
One Labor Day stands out in my mind. Over a period of about seven years I mentored/tutored a group of young people from Vietnam. One year they were excited to invite me to a picnic/barbecue they were having in a park. Fortunately for them, I showed up. The reason I say fortunately is because they were grilling pork ribs. They took them off the grill too soon. The meat was not cooked thoroughly. I told them, “don’t eat them and put them back on the grill.” They asked why and I explained about what can happen if pork is not cooked properly.
My Labor Day this year is going to be spent online making sure I have all of the details about publishing my book on Amazon researched. Well unless I receive an invite to a picnic. 🙂 Now that my books are wrapping up, I have an idea for another one. So writing might commence tomorrow. My pastor is halfway through my draft of Jesus Understands Trauma. He told me he is “LOVING IT.”
Speaking of my book Jesus Understands Trauma, I chatted with a friend who is fluent in English and Spanish about translating my book into Spanish. She has agreed. After I publish it in English, we will work on the Spanish version.
I am blown away by the generosity of people donating for me to have a different vehicle. I will see my friend Doug this morning at church and talk with him about when to go look. As I sat at a bus stop yesterday, I took note of vehicles driving by. My one thought each time whether they would be easy to get in and out of. As someone living with Psoriatic Arthritis, that is a factor for me.
For my friends in the USA, I hope your Labor Day weekend is blessed and relaxing. For all of my readers, I hope you have a blessed Sunday.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.

A lot happening Matt. The book sounds exciting to get it to this point.
Thank Gary. It will be interesting to see what happens with it. What are your Labor Day plans?
Two things matt. My wife and I are hanging some siding on a cabin in the woods we are building, then I’m going fishing. This of course could all be interrupted by some family visiting (poor planners-the whole family is a spur of the moment bunch). In that case, I have burgers ready for the grill and firewood for a nice campfire for stories out in the back yard. My boat has extra room in it should some of us want a fish fry for supper.
Is one of the campfire stories about fishing and the one that got away? 😀
Oh yes, fishing, past glory days, wilderness feats, plans on what’s next on the adventure bucket list and a guitar and song might show up.
I am glad that you enjoyed your labor day weekend and that your fund is going well. I pray that you will get enough to purchase the car cash. Blessings
Thank you little sister 🙂
You are welcome.
