July 6...

This blog has been hijacked by Weezie...

Forty-two years ago at 4:15 in the afternoon, prayers were answered...a beautiful little girl was born. With dark curly hair, great big dark blue eyes with tons of lashes, a tiny button nose and the normal ten toes and ten fingers.

With tears of happiness, joy and a loss of eight pounds and six ounces..this mother was beaming from ear to ear. Look what the Lord has given us!!!!

Oh how blessed this family became....that little girl has grown into the most beautiful lady.

She spends her days making this world a better place to live in and life so much more fun.

The sun is brighter and our world is filled with laughter daily.

So, I think God for this young lady and the absolute joy, happiness, and pride she has brought to this family.

Cloud 8...

Maybe Cloud 8 is a place to relax?

God, Thank You for time to relax....chill out....and just "be."

Holy Cow...

I just heard Michael Jackson referred to as....the Prince of Peace.

OK.

It served as a reminder me that there is ONE PRINCE OF PEACE.

So often, I put someone or something else in His Place.

God, thank you for providing Your Son. Our one and only provision for true peace and contentment. Let me never settle for any less.

108...

Seriously...

It's only June....It's like living under a giant-hot-smothering-blanket.

However,

I went home to blasting A/C.

I was hacked it was hot in my car.

I have a car.

I was hacked I was sweating at lunch.

I had lunch.

I was hacked it was so hot on the way to work this am.

I have a job.

I love it.

Maybe the heat is not so bad after all...

God, thank you for leading me to green pastures. I am sorry I do not always recognize them.

Hail Mary...

Hail Mary.

God, Thank you for Your sense of humor.

Mikey Rocks...

So, Mikey and I took an afternoon field trip to go see Darrell Smith lead worship for over 3,000 this week.

First thing you should know, is Mikey thinks Darrell is the equivalent of Elvis and The Beatles all rolled into one. So the mere thought of seeing him play for a crowd was....well...highlight of the summer...and possibly 5 years of life.

We arrive and are given "backstage passes."

Mikey of course, is equipped with his red electric guitar, his blankie and a thumb plugged in his mouth. (picture Linus in a rock band)

while practicing, Darrell allows Mikey on to the stage...

Here he is realizing Darrell is on the Jumbo-tron.
However, Mikey is not just an observer...he is a rock star....so he did what rock stars do....

He rocked!

And found himself in the spotlight and up on the jumbotron...of course he was busting out "Rock you Like a Hurricane" (thanks Guitar Hero)

which sounded really pretty, along with Darrell's "Everlasting God"

so, then we head up to the dressing room to get ready for the actual performance...

We pray first...and the little rock star watched one of his heros bow his head...and talk to Jesus.

All of a sudden, the guitar didn't matter...it was a man showing a child what matters.

It was God reminding all of us in the room- He is our audience.

The conversation on the way home went something like this:

M-"Duhhbbi, thankths for taking me to my firtht conthert. Darrell was good."

D-"it was fun wasn't it?"

M-"I liked that he talked to Jesus first."

D- "Me too Mikey."

M-"Do you think he knows KISS?"

God, thank you for eyes that watch us...our every move. May we be ever mindful.
