Kind of a grey day. I know the sun is just beyond the clouds, shining in all it's brilliance but I can't feel it's warmth today. Sometimes I can feel like it's a grey day in my Christian walk too, I know the Lord is right there but it seems as if clouds are covering, keeping me from His warmth. But as I remind myself once again, who makes the clouds in my life - my own busyness, my own attitude about things, circumstances that I have no control over? What are your clouds in life? "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Philippians 4:8
God you are true,
God you are noble,
God you are right,
God you are pure,
God you are lovely,
God you are admirable,
God you are excellent,
God you are praiseworthy,
God let me think about you!

Eagles

The other day as the kids were running out to the bus, we saw an eagle fly over! It was about 50 feet off the ground. Cole yells, "Grant a bald eagle, a bald eagle!" And it was as plain as ever. It reminds me of the verse in Isaiah:
Isaiah 40:31but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
He was soaring alright, but I can too - God promises that!

Dental work

Numb - my whole lower bottom of my face is numb! I really dislike going to the dentist when I have a cavity! I hate the feeling of a numb face with a passion! This is the second time that the back tooth was worked on within one month but thankfully I don't have to go back. The first time I had a regular cavity - no big deal as I don't think I have had a cavity for at least 10-15 years?!? But while they are filling the tooth the tooth is cracked under the old cavity so they need to put on a crown. So I go back today and then am suppose to go back in 2 weeks for the final crown but.... I don't have to, PTL, because this dentist can make a final crown while you're in the chair. It takes a bit longer but I think that it is worth not having to go back! He makes the crown and it is a purple color then he fires it and it turns white! But now I am waiting for the tinglies to get out of my lip - I really detest that part! It's coming around but slowly.

Rambling on....

I am just rambling on today...
Our sermon today continued a series on 7 aspects of a healthy church. Today's was fellowship. We were reminded that it is good to be part of a family and a church family. I was reminded that sometimes it takes work to make relationships happen and that if you don't feel part of your church -- is it you? (That is my thought because at one time it was me and no one else. I blamed others for my not liking the church but I was not opening myself to anyone else.) Is your church healthy?
I am also reading the book, 90 Minutes in Heaven, by Don Piper. This is a very good book and easy to read. Wow can you imagine heaven? I wonder what it will be like? So beautiful we can't even explain.
I ate lunch with Cole on Friday at school. In the morning he left for school with three shirts on, a muscle shirt, a long-sleeved shirt and a short sleeve shirt on top. He had taken his short sleeve one off by lunch and I asked if he still had on 2 shirts?
yep, he had on a muscle shirt.
A little girl asked him why he was wearing a muscle shirt?
Because, I'm a man! (LOL)

Have a great day!

Spring Signs

Guess what! Glenn said he saw about 10 robins today outside his office window! They were eating berries from a bush - maybe the only food they have around. Spring is coming, Spring is coming!

Glenn's foot

Here's the story on Glenn's foot. The first Saturday in February he was playing basketball. (This is something that I don't quite understand because he takes Advil before he plays and after he plays- my question is why do it then? LOL) Well, he heard something pop in his calf. The doctors thought that he tore a calf muscle and the information on the Internet said that it is primarily due to age! How's that for reality. But after a month of hobbling along, it still was not getting better. He was unable to lift himself up on his tip toes. So he went to an orthopedic doctor on Friday and needed an MRI but it looked like surgery was inevitable - more than likely a ruptured Achilles. So the MRI was yesterday at 7:30am. We found out at about 4:30pm that it was not that but a tendon that tore off the bone but can't attach it with surgery and the Achilles has some tears in it at the top but not in the ankle but those will heal. He does have to be in a boot, be on crutches for 4 weeks and then have rehab. But we are so thankful that he will not have to have surgery.

Prayers and Pictures

Hey - it's good news! Thank you to all of you who prayed - Glenn does not need surgery. He will be in a boot for 4 weeks and then start rehab, but no surgery -- Yea! I am so thankful to God and for all the prayers on his behalf this weekend! I came home from Cursillo and laid hands on him and prayed. God is so good! Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

Now for the pictures you have all been waiting for....




Here I am with all my balloons!









I am putting the weight of the balloons into the back of my vehicle.









This is me driving away, while all my friends laughed --- with me!!!
