  • The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

    My friend passed away yesterday.

    I suspected it when I came back from lunch and my email inbox was filled with messages. Opening them confirmed it.

    I will admit that my first reaction was relief. I didn't want this to drag out.

    Later I became sad for two reasons: I will miss her and it was a tragic end to a tragic life.

    But "If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied."

    I hope she has a fabulous beach house in heaven. (She loved the ocean.)

  • I Got This

    Have you seen the movie Date Night? My profound moment for the day I saw the movie would have been the scene in the end of the movie where he asks her to trust him - to trust that he knows what he's doing. She hestitates, but she decides to trust him and all is well.

    I will admit that I struggle with trusting my husband. He is uber-competent (he's right 95% of the time), but he does things differently than I would do them, so that makes me hesitate. He has been telling me for some time now that our finances are under control. It's been hard for me to believe him when I am paying the bills each month for the debt we have accumulated.

    He shared something with me this morning that convinced me he does have this after all.

  • God's Not Dead

    My profound moment yesterday was learning that there's a chance that my friend won't die.  I'm not sure that it's a great chance, but for me this moment was profound because it reminded me not to discount God acting in the world.

    People telling me to trust God, don't listen to doctors

    Dear friends "hug-attack" me

    Faithful support of a friend who picked me up and dropped me off at the airport and let me stay at her house

    We had a bunch of ice, our driveway was like an ice skating rink. It was an adventure just trying to get out of the driveway! But, now it looks like it was never even there! It made it into the high 40's yesterday, and now it's all gone. And I like it! One of the joys of living in Illinois.

    You will get to like the cold , I did 25 years ago when I move to the frozen north from the wonderful shores of NC. Keep the chin up camper it only gets better , Maybe you need to crack the wipe on that man and make him clean the house while you play.
