One Day At A Time

One day at a time.

That is the phrase that continues to come to my mind. It represents a lifestyle in our current situation, but it also represents the walk of faith the Lord had us on.

I don't know what tomorrow holds, but I know who holds tomorrow.

It is Jesus who encourages me to become like a little child, to live life today and don't be anxious about the cares of tomorrow.

Look at the birds of the air...

So I will take no thought of tomorrow, rather, focus on today.

Do I have all I need today? Were meals provided? Good health? Shelter? Clothes?? Yes.

Praise God. One day at a time....

Walking

One question tonight - who are you walking with in this life? The friends we choose matter...

Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.

Freedom

For freedom Christ has set us free... http://bible.us/Gal5.1.ESV

So thankful tonight for the freedoms we enjoy in America, including the freedom to worship my Lord.

May God Bless America this Independence Day.

Welcome to... Fireworks!

One of my first "welcome to Kentucky" experiences came years ago on the Fourth of July. Coming from New York where buying and putting off fireworks is illegal, I was quite thrilled to see how people celebrated 'round these parts.

For Independence Day (and days before), it can sound like a war zone in our otherwise quiet and peaceful subdivision. Who needs to go to a fireworks show when you can put on your own show?! Or better yet, just enjoy your neighbors' shows!

Here's a pic of my neighbor's display, set off tonight. Hopefully it's just a warm up for what we'll see tomorrow!

Happy 4th!

My Good Thing

It was about 12 years ago exactly that my wife and I started dating. 10 years of marriage, 5 kids, and an adventure called "life" later...

I'm so glad we did.

He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord. http://bible.us/Prov18.2.ESV

Braggin'

Just to brag on my mother-in-law - she's knows what to get me! She surprised me with this gift when they visited last month. A perfect combination of maps and pictures, I love it!

Thanks Mom!
