Just when you think you've gotten ahead, life slaps you upside the head. We've had terrible weekend of sinus infections and bathroom time. Poor Curtis, our one and only son, it was his birthday Sunday. He's four! We had planned to celebrate with his friends, but had to reschedule since he had a sinus infection. Happy Birthday, anyway. Then our little Caty-bug came down with a sinus infection, too. So, no church on Sunday. THEN, Joanna had diarrhea.
My mom likes to tell me, "this too shall pass, something worse will take its place". Isn't that uplifting? But you know, really, what goes wrong can make us stronger because we must depend on God. If I didn't do that on a daily basis, I just might end up in the loony bin.
You're The Hobbit!
by J.R.R. Tolkien
All you wanted was a nice cup of tea when some haggard crazy old man
came into your life and told you it was time to do something with yourself. Now you're
all conflicted about whether to stick with your stay-at-home lifestyle or follow this
crazy person into the wild. While you're very short and a little furry, you seem to be
surrounded by an even greater quantity of short folks lately. Try not to lose your ring,
but keep its value in perspective!

A TRIBUTE TO MY COUSIN
My cousin Jeremiah Wring passed away into heaven last night. He had been battling melanoma cancer for a year. He was thirty years old. Last week I drove down to visit him and say goodbye. It was a sweet time. I held his hand as I sat with him. He didn't say much, but he knew I was there. Before I left he wanted to clear the air between us. We had crossed words two years ago, and he wanted to make it right. We forgave each other and then hugged one last time.
It's never too late to make things right. The time is now. Live like you will die tomorrow. Jump into God's hands and watch Him take you places you never thought possible.
