On a much smaller scale, we've experienced many of the same frustrations you have on our remodeling jobs. Our kitchen counter did come, but they did not make it according to the drawings, so we are having to wait on another. I didn't think it would be this long, so we are still without a kitchen sink or a dishwasher. We've been eating lots of sandwhiches and off paper plates and dong what dishes we have to in the bathroom sink. The bathtub might be easier, but it is also out as we had to tear out the surround to do update our plumbing. Since I am without do-it-yourself skills, we are depending on help from the good people of the church who have their own lives to live (and their own renovations going on), so it's frustrating and the longing for some sense of normalcy can be depressing. Your car mishap reminds me of the minor accident we had driving back from AL. I just completed my online Defensive Driving course this morning to try to clear my driving record and restore my insurance discount. Will try to stay in better touch. Blessings to you and Tom.

Just returned from a funeral of a lady in her 50's. Doing another one Friday of a lady in her 50's who just dropped dead in her car. Today is, indeed, all we "behaves" so we live it in a way that honors the Lord ... and, hopefully, achieves something we needed to do. I often look for opportunities to use “behooves”!

Your post reminded me of a story Dave Stone (minister of Southeast Christian in Louisville, KY) told at the Pepperdine Bible Lectures a couple of years ago. Stone was teaching at a Christian Church College at the time someone came out and gave the day the world would be destroyed. Stone decided to have some fun so he went to the music department and procured a couple of trumpet players. He placed them in a strategic spot under the Bible Building. He then went to the Drama Department and procured a harness used to lift people off the ground and simulate flight. He had a couple of custodians set it up on top of the roof of the Bible Building. He then told the Professor of one of the Bible Classes what he was going to do and to have everyone (ministers in training) looking out the window of the classroom at the precise time. At the time the world was predicted to be destroyed, Stone had the 2 custodians begin to pull him up to the roof as the 2 trumpet players began to play. When he was even with the window of the classroom he stopped and shouted, “I’m going to meet Jesus.” Then he looked inside the window and yelled to all of these Bible majors, “Why aren’t you going with me?” The custodians pulled him up on the roof. Little side note – When Stone arrived on the roof one of the 2 (who were now completely exhausted) custodians said to Stone, “You would have been in real trouble if the rapture had really taken place and both of us would have went to meet Jesus.” Stone’s reply was, “That’s why I chose you two.” We should live like today is our last day and I’ll even throw in a smile and a laugh as we live out our “last days.” Your post reminded me of a story Dave Stone (minister of Southeast Christian in Louisville, KY) told at the Pepperdine Bible Lectures a couple of years ago.

We've been concerned about you. As for the end of the world...I'm really not that interested. I'm only interested in the end of ME! What happens to the world isn't important in comparison. My wife, whose design practice requires her to work with builders, painters, and plumbers, sends her deepest sympathies. For the rest of you, if you want to be a gazillionaire, here is how to do it: show up when you said you would and do what you promised to do. That's all. That will make you one in a million in the service trades. Welcome back and welcome home, Dee! We’ve been concerned about you. As for the end of the world…I’m really not that interested.

Glad things are calming down a bit for you. We are a long ways from being settled in our new digs, but at least it is livable. We've got cable and internet, but no phone. Today makes day 4 without phone service.... I don't know why Comcast can't figure out what's up and get it fixed. We'll be getting a nice credit for our days of no service. Stop by my place to see pictures of the new baby. She arrived just one day after the movers dumped all our belongings here in the house, and she is a living doll! Good morning, Dee!
