A blessed event
February 05 | 6:20 AM | Comments (0)
At my daughter's baby shower last weekend, I was taken aback at how beautiful she was. Aubern Michelle has almond-shaped eyes and perfect skin. Her hair is silky and her eyes light up when she smiles. Add that to the fact that she is about to have her first child, and I have no words for the beauty she radiates.
Steadfast

Oh, to remain steadfast. Just to be able to say to God and ourselves that we have remained steadfast in our faith. But what about when trials hit and we suffer the injuries as the difficulties tear at the most fragile edges of the faith we embrace?
Daddy had a reason

My daddy was something else. He was striking in his appearance; tall, silver haired and well dressed. He was so handsome that he turned heads wherever he went.
Bedside bell

Mom had a bedside bell. She kept it by her own bed until one of us was sick, then as if by magic it would appear by our bedside.

I have a friend who sends devotionals out at various times - usually when she feels led to share it with someone in our mutual circle of friends.

Thanksgiving is always super special for Ninja Man and me. Besides getting to see family and enjoy a huge meal together, we celebrate our wedding anniversary. This year numbered 35.
Dog walk

Dyson the Terrible Puppy loves to go for a walk. He loves it so much that he has to make sure no one is going for a walk without him.

Coming soon

She's our firstborn, our baby girl. Aubern Michelle came into the world a bit unusually, frank breech during natural childbirth. The doctor on call wanted to give me scopolamine, the drug of his choice which would knock me out for the delivery. We had a disagreement which resulted in another doc being called in, one who would honor my request for no drugs as long as he could deliver the baby safely.
Puppy boot camp

We were going to send Dyson the Terrible Puppy to boot camp. He was all packed and ready to go. We drove the four hours to our daughter's house in Newnan, preparing to leave the little stinker behind when we would leave on Sunday.
Fall celebration

I'm so happy fall is here, but at some point I fell out of love with summer. I think it was when I realized my kids were grown and there was no one left to celebrate the end of the school year.
