Yesterday

1. I spent $23,000 and got a jar of hot sauce that says it was made in Gun Barrel City, TX (I don't believe this) and a small lake house without any utilities as apparently everyone is at home for Good Friday/Easter weekend eating hot sauce instead of at work providing me my utitilites. So much for spending our first weekend at the lake.
2. When you are at Children's Medical Center in Dallas in the wee hours of the night, do not believe the signs that tell you how to get back to the green parking garage. They are not accurate and will lead you on a long journey down the halls of nowhere. (and it is a lonely place)
3. I did happen on a fun new web site for those who have a few moments of free time:
Picturedots is “the only place on the internet to make, share, and print dot to dot puzzles.” It lets you upload a picture from your computer or another website and makes it easy for you to turn it into a dot-to-dot puzzles.The finished product is a PDF, meaning you can use it with popular applications (Photoshop, Illustrator, even Microsoft Office). And even send it to contacts through email. You can also use Picture Dots for other things. Enjoy!

Be Prepared

In my quiet time a few weeks ago, I heard the Lord tell me that I needed to be prepared. My first response, "Oh Lord, what now? It had been a difficult year, and I wasn't wanting more. As I sat, gritting my teeth as I waited, I heard him tell me, " be ready for ...JOY." I immediately thought of the scripture, "joy follows suffering" and began to pre worry about what else was coming. Then I realized, the joy was following the suffering we had already been through. He was just letting me know that it was time for JOY! Within a week's time, three major prayer needs in our family had been met. I was able to share joy with a friend in her own time of trial. Just sharing my thankfulness. God is faithful. He sends the rain on the just and the unjust. He gives good gifts to his children. He adores us. He loves us. He speaks to us and he gives us JOY!
