Round Two

And here it is. Paul has the flu. What else is there to say? UGH! Of course power of suggestion has led me to begin experiencing aches in my joints and I think my throat might be a little scratchy.

You know what this means. Hours of sanitizing the house for the nasty virus that has invaded the house. Of course, I did this last week and the week before that and the week before that...

I am convinced the big mean green guys watch at a microscopic distance laughing at the futility of my efforts to kill them and the germs they leave behind.

Walking in the Light

Wow! This year year has been a whirlwind to say the least. I am shocked we are near the half way point in February. Part of me wants to dance. If the start of the year is any indication of how it is going to go, I am happy it's flying by. I will usher in 2009 with bells and whistles.

Yet, I am humbly reminded that every day is a gift, and I need to walk in the Light. I need to let Him guide me through each day. I need to listen to His still, quiet voice...Yeah I know for me that's a stretch. I'm never still long enough to catch my breath.

As I write this, our dear neighbor of ten years is fighting stage 4 pancreatic cancer. I am awed by the faith she has in God. I am humbled by the fight she has within her to beat the demon we know as cancer. Hunter, in his six year old wisdom said to me, "Mommy, why are you sad? We are just going to pray and Jesus is going to make her better." The faith of a child and the living testimony of one who is dwelling in God's amazing grace reminds me to walk daily in the His unfailing light.
