Becky's Birthday--[in blue ink--maybe noted at the beginning of the month, as other birthdays throughout the year are also noted in blue]
Must make a party! [in red ink--the color used for January 13 entry, so probably written on the 13th; next words in black ink, so probably written at the end of the day on January 14]
Poor Becky--such a rushed day we didn't even have her cake.  Choir practice went well & I'm going to work with the kids that can come at 2 on tomorrow.  I made it through the shopping with Donald & the three little ones "help" so that is done for the week.  Perhaps things will shape up after a while.  Congregational meeting was--routine & I think we should triple our budget.  Maybe we'd have a lively meeting then.  Help me Lord to give 3 times as much of myself.  Amen.
