More musings and updates from Joshua...

Just a couple things to mention.
I give glory to God and His answer to prayers. The other day, Sunday, I began asking a specific few for prayers of healing for me. It would be day 6 of my illness come Monday. The only thing I was suffering the last couple days, was digestion issues and weight loss, but it was bad. Come Monday, all was gone. Just like that. Really. Of course all during my sickness, I had asked people to pray for me and I meant it, but Sunday I was thoroughly serious about it and was asking thoroughly serious pray-ers to pray for my healing immediately. I was about to go to a doctor, I was to the point of needing to, but to me it's a testimony to God that He healed it before I ever got there. Amen. I'm glad to be well again and gaining weight back. My appetite is back for sure, and then some.

The other thing of note is now that I am better, I have been doing many of things I wanted to do last week and over this past weekend, but couldn't. Included in that is registering my assumed name for my business. We just went and did that as a family. It's amazing how simple it is to do something like that, and a little scary too. A small amount of money and one can register just about anything without anyone asking for credentials, at least on my level of registering. Owell, it's done. Fishers of Men(Aquarium Services) is officially open for business. The courthouse visit was totally like a movie. "Hi, I am here to register a fictious business name." "Well, first go to 'Records' and do a search to see if your chosen name is available. It's down the hall and to the right. Then come back and we'll do our part." 'Records' was the next door down. I bet the ladies in each area even know each other and speak occasionally by the candy machines. The lady in records said, "Tell them in 'Registering' you passed my test. 'Registering' is down the hall to the left." Of course that was right were I was to begin with. Ha Ha. At least it wasn't go upstairs, fill out Form 1040NOTEZ, then to the basement for notary, then back to the 3rd floor for Form JumpThroughThisHoop1MoreTime, then back here for payment and a reciept, though it was close to that. Ben was being a ham with the 'Registering' ladies. That was funny.
Next, is to open a business checking and then start spreading the word I suppose.

The garden bed has been expanded. We now have 109 square feet of planting area. That is more then double what we had. I still need to haul in some dirt, which I am thinking will be this weekend. Also the back fence has been tore down and will shortly be replaced with livestock wire. This gives us a nice, open view of the "creek" behind our house as well as, allow more sunlight to hit the garden each day. Our recently planted pear tree has it's first budding leaf on it. I guess we are doing something right so far.

I think that is it for now.
