Trying to stay hopeful....

SOMEWHERE OUT THERE (James Ingram and Linda Ronstadt)
Somewhere out there,
Beneath the pale blue night,
Someone's thinking of me,
And loving me tonight.
Somewhere out there,
Someone's saying a prayer,
Then we'll find one another,
In that big somewhere out there.
And even though I know how very far apart we are,
It helps to think we might be wishing
On the same bright star,
And when the night will start to sing
A lonesome lullaby,
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the
Same big sky.
Somewhere out there,
If love can see us through,
Then, we'll be together,
Somewhere out there, out where dreams, come true.

APRIL 5th....will you be shoeless?

remembering patience....

A PRAYER FOR PATIENCE


Dear Heavenly Father,

Praise be given to Your Holy name for Your forbearance and mercy. 
You have dealt gently with Your children in love. 
You have been patient with me in my humanness and stubbornness.
Lord, through the work of Your Spirit, prompt me to be more jubilant in hope, 
more patient in times of trouble, and more consistent in my prayer life. 
Teach me, Lord, to wait with faith and expectancy, 
and may my trials be seen as times for growth in grace. 
Through Christ our Lord, I pray. 
Amen.

Romans 12:12
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

FULL CIRCLE....

one of my favorite things growing up was going to work with my dad....
for those of you who do not know,
my father is a judge.
growing up i would go to the courthouse with him, 
listen to cases, 
go out to lunch,
visit the jail 
(probably why i am so obsessed with locked up on msnbc)
anyways....
today,
it came full circle,
garyn went to work with my dad!!!
he was so very excited, 
we packed him a snack, a lunch, and a few toys to keep him busy,
and....
when he returned,
this is what he had to say....
he played in the courtroom,
"Order in the Court,"
was the office mailman,
met the County Sheriff,
look inside the holding cells (there were no prisoners)
walked to lunch with pappap and the rest of the Judges,
and most importantly,
earned $1.50 for his hard work....
he had a blast!
it reminded me of the fun I had as a child with my daddy...
HI HO, HI HO, IT'S OFF TO WORK WE GO....
