Time Traveling

Sometimes we define a "good day" by one singular moment that made it such.

Today was a day that was defined by many different moments combined to make it all "good".

First, we had a worshipful morning at Church. Good music, good fellowship, great preaching.

Next, Emily and I went to see the move "The Time Traveler's Wife". We didn't know what to expect, but we left moved and challenged.

Next, we visited Mom at Deerwood. Talk about "time traveling". It was a good visit, but we realize with each visit, that Mom is on her own time traveling journey. She mentioned her "free ticket to Heaven to see her boyfriend" this afternoon.

After that, I returned home. There was Bella to tend to. Laundry that refuses to dry after two cycles ( dishwasher doesn't work either )

My husband is alive, doesn't time travel, no one is deathly ill. I could list all that is wrong and it would take up a lengthy blog, but I won't.

I just found out that someone is dying. I just found out that an entire family is ill. I just found out that another family is losing their home. I just found out that someone is hungry.

Our only solution is a permanent time travel to Heaven. In the meantime, join me in prayer for those who are hurting.

Jordan's New Do

I wish I had a "before" picture to show you...
but here is Jordan's new "do"

Isn't he handsome?

Promises to Keep

Wrapped up in a blanket (even though the thermometer has already tipped over the 100 degree mark), dosed to the hilt on anti-inflammatory meds I start to promise myself that when this pain subsides I will....Peel those peaches and make a cobbler. Hang the sheets on the line so when my sweetie comes to bed at night he will say "Oh, I love clean sheets"~~~
Pick all the ripe tomatoes before they start rotting on the vine. Ahh...Make a yummy grilled sandwich with swiss cheese and tomatoes :-)

Make a batch of cookies for Tyler because his friends just seem to eat them all before he can enjoy the fact that his mom bakes "her own" chocolate chip cookies.

I kept those promises today and it felt GOOD.
