Get Your Scrant On

We had a nice trip to Scranton Pennsylvania this weekend to visit my sister and to celebrate her birthday, Lloyd's birthday, and our anniversary.

We went to dinner at Tratoria Bella on Friday night. Then on Saturday we enjoyed a trolley ride (caught at Steamtown National Historic site) to the historic iron furnaces and the Arts on Fire industrial arts expo hosted by Keystone College and local nonprofits such as the Anthracite Heritage Museum.

Before we left, I gave Lloyd a gift. I had bought him a new iPod. I snuck into his car when he was busy watching the Orioles lose (what else is new?) and recorded several of his favorite CD's plus I added a bunch of songs he likes and some messages from the Greater Grace archives. Below is a clip of him groovin' to his favorite tune "Diamonds In The Ebony Sky" by Janine Turner and her daughter Juliette. Click on the arrow to play (includes sound).

Nothing OT

I belong to some online groups that are designed to share special interests like reading, cooking, travel, etc. Often replies to a post will get off on a tangent and before you know it, the subject is changed to begin with "OT" for "off topic". In some groups members or moderators will try to abolish off topic posts in order to keep down volume and to keep the posts related to the subject of the mail group. But it's comforting to know that nothing is OT with God. We can go to Him in prayer and pour out our hearts. We can approach Him about anything and everything in our lives and He listens. We don't have to have a religious formula for prayer. If we read something from a prayer book that's okay too if it expresses our hearts. But if the prayer is "HELP" or "God, I can't go on" or even if we lash out in fear or anger, it's okay. It doesn't change the way He feels about us. He loves us unconditionally. He is looking for us ...
