“The key to change... is to let go of fear.” - Rosanne Cash

Bring it on!

One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain,
One day they nailed Him to die on a tree,
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected,
Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He.

Hands that healed nations, stretched out on a tree
And took the nails for me.

Courage

Courage doesn't always roar.
Sometimes courage is the quiet voice
at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow."

The Serenity Prayer

I just needed this today..... I just want to feel normal in this life. I want the tears to stop. I want to have some kind of assurance that everything will work out, but I know I need God to guide me! I need to let Him do so.

~~~~~~~~~~

God grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change;

courage to change the things I can;

and wisdom to know the difference.

~~~~~~~~~~

Living one day at a time;

Enjoying one moment at a time;

Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;

Taking, as He did, this sinful world

as it is, not as I would have it;

Trusting that He will make all things right

if I surrender to His Will;

That I may be reasonably happy in this life

and supremely happy with Him

Forever in the next.

Amen.

--Reinhold Niebuhr

~~~~~~~~~~

Trust in the LORD with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways acknowledge him,

and he will direct your paths.

Proverbs 3, 5-6

Baby Ash - It was good knowing ya!

So this is the "Egg Baby" that Emily had for her school project. We had a lot of fun buying all the stuff to make him...... then today on Face Book, I saw R.I.P. ASH and a picture of his shell all over the ground.......
I wanted to cry. I will always remember you Baby Ash! I guess the project is over and he made it through the week. The schools have a great way of teaching kids how to raise babies....... really??? - if it were really that easy!! LOL Em - you did a great job, even tf you left him in the car while you ate ice cream at the orange grove!!!!!

I Need to Remember This

"Love is patient; love is kind

and envies no one.

Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;

never selfish, not quick to take offense.

There is nothing love cannot face;

there is no limit to its faith,

its hope, and endurance.

In a word, there are three things

that last forever: faith, hope, and love;

but the greatest of them all is love."

Nokomis Beach

Jenny and I took the kids to Nokomis Beach tonight. The kids had fun playing together. Maggie and Emily went in the water - I think they are nuts - it's kinda cold! Jordan, Steve, Garrett and Evan just walked around being boys. Jenny and I had a nice visit - it was a beautiful evening.
