While we were waiting for family to arrive at our airbnb in Walla Walla we took a drive around the city and came across this cemetery. We drove slowly and quietly through it and here are the photos I took. This was on Saturday the 29th of June.

In memory of the departed firemen of Walla Walla.

These are the ones that caught my eye. We didn’t get out of the car because of the heat.

Speaking of heat, we are under a heat advisory. We’ve had some dry thunderstorms with lightning which doesn’t bode well for fires. Our manufactured home came with a fan system to draw out the warm air. Most of our mornings start out nice and cool and we are able to open windows, turn on the fans and cool the house down to about 68 degrees. That means the house keeps cool until later in the afternoon and our cooling system doesn’t have to run all day long. On Thursday morning the outside air was above the 72 degrees we keep our cooling temp at so we couldn’t do our usual cool down routine.

In other news, this is the current book we are reading for a class we are taking at our church.

It is an excellent book. I’ll share this paragraph at the end of Chapter 2;

“A Life Worth Living

The central work of God’s kingdom is change. God accomplishes this work as the Holy Spirit empowers people to bring his Word to others. We bring more than solutions, strategies, principles, and commands. We bring the greatest story ever told, the story of the Redeemer. Our goal is to help one another live with a “God’s story” mentality. Our mission is to teach, admonish, and encourage one another to rest in his sovereignty, rather than establishing our own; to rely on his grace rather than performing on our own; and to submit to his glory rather than seeking our own. This is the work of the kingdom of God: people in the hands of the Redeemer, daily functioning as his tools of lasting change.”
