A sad day... please pray

A friend from my early Christian/ college years of my life died today. For most he is know as Chris, "Greg Laurie's son". However, I knew him as Topher. He was killed in a car accident today. We lost track of each other until a few weeks ago we reconnected on Facebook. He was a funny, talented, and great guy. He has a young wife, daughter who is turning two, and another little girl on the way. Things like this are hard to understand. Please pray for their family. I can't imagine raising the kids without Bill. Let alone prepare to deliver a new baby who will never meet their daddy. Also, Greg is due to speak at the upcoming Harvest Crusades. I know that all things work together for Gods glory. However, things like this seem so ........... I don't even have a word for it.

I like your....

Daley is going through a compliment phase. Everyday it's "mom I like your hair." Dad I like your shorts." To which you must respond, "Thanks I like your hair, short, whatever." The other night she said "Dad I like your nuts." He has these...
Still laughing!!!!!!

Countdown is on....

Camp Rock. Any one else have kids waiting for the big event tonight????

Gas Prices

It is summertime. I want to go to the water park, mall, camping, anywhere...  Everything is so much more $$$$$ when you add in gas!!! We really need to get a pool. I know I'm not alone. Please fell free to vent here.

Something

Something just happened to make my day a little better. God just took one of the" bobbers" I casted out and squashed it. Thank you Lord, for taking care of even the little things. Yahoo!!!!

Forwards

    I got on of those read this and then forward it or have bad luck things today. I read it, didn't forward it and now I'm having a rotten day.  I'm not even superstitious!!!! I feel so unmotivated now.....

More Deep thoughts

A few years ago I wrote a post called my mountain and yours. As I have often come back to it I find new meaning in the analogy. Right now I remember time I spent at the top of the mountain. I started thinking about how mountains peak. Your really can't go anywhere but down again. However, I'm not one to sit around. I have a hard time just watching a movie. More Mary and Martha stuff. I wish when I was on that mountain I could have been more like Mary and enjoyed the uneventful time. However, my Martha self set her sights on a new mountain. Here I sit half way up this mountain. Looking for the top. I know I will get there. Best part is this time when I look next to me I see Jesus. Climbing it with me. That is new for me. Not that He wasn't there, I just didn't bother to look. I have always thought I needed to do it all by myself. Yet there He is encouraging, coaching, and often pushing me up to the top. It sure is a lot easier this time. I hope when I get there we can just spend time enjoying the accomplishment.
