To Do List

Interesting article, and we enjoyed The Rookie. But thanks for letting me pass on Aerosmith. Just thinking about it brings frightening images of big hair…We have always told our kids to evaluate their gifts and passions as abilities God built into them, and encouraged them to follow after those passions with the belief that God wouldn't have given them those passions and gifts without having a plan for using them. It's easy for youngest son, making his way in the world as an electrical engineer who builds computers on the side. It is and will be a more interesting journey for the elder, a classicist working on his doctorate with little hope of ever making much of a living. But I am excited to see what God will do with him anyway.And as for me, I sometimes wonder if I have lost my dreams, or if my expectations have simply become low enough to meet my reality. Wow. That sounds bitter, and I don't mean it that way… I simply am unsure what to dream about at this point in my life. Is this a mid-life crisis, I wonder? Or maybe just hormones running amok…

Can I just play Aerosmith and skip the Rookie?Good article. Just had a womens' Bible study this morning where we were encouraging each other that we are never safer when we are in God's hands, so don't be afraid to step out of the comfort zone, love and forgive each other, and shine His light to the world.This would have made a good illustration!
