Best laid plans...

The day turned out differently than we planned. I had expected to go out for breakfast with a friend to a favorite little place. Then I was coming home to help Lloyd with some yardwork and in the evening we had dinner plans with some friends from my work. But we ended up in the ER today and my DH was admitted. I have great peace about things. I'm sure he will be fine. They are keeping him to make sure there is nothing life-threatening but so far all tests look pretty good.

So often things don't happen the way we think they will. But as I was sitting next to my honey holding his hand while we waited between tests, I was reminded of what I already knew - that the things that really matter are not really things.

Looking for Good Movie?

I don't go to too many movies.  It's a world I don't live in.  But I heard The Grace Card advertised on a local station and I think I'll check it out.  I love the title!  I love that it is about people who struggle, because we all do. And I especially love that it's about grace, God's grace.  Can't wait to see it Feb. 25.  Check the site to see if it's playing at a theater near you . Check out the trailer by clicking below and also the info on sending a Grace Card.

Well, I Never.......

I was shocked recently when a relative told me she never owned a pair of backless shoes.  I cracked up when I was in a ladies' room and overheard a young woman say "Personally, I've never  seen  a wrap-around skirt". And at the doctor's office the other day, a woman who had to be at least mid-twenties said she had pumped her own gas for the first time in her life just that day. So I asked some friends to send me one or more things that they have never done.  I wasn't looking for thrills, major achievements, or things we all dream about but never do.  I was looking for simple or everyday things that  we probably think most people have done. My personal contributions to this list are: I have never seen the movie "Titanic".   I have never been around a newborn. I've never ridden a motorcycle. Here are the responses I've received to date from others: Never used an ATM.  Never had an alcoholic drink (except communion wine)  Never been in a casino
