I was in Brazil for 7 weeks one summer, and it was so refreshing not to be so tied to the time, schedule, rush to get places. I think we would benefit from more of that attitude!

We visited an old missile silo that was converted into a really cool house--but it had one flaw--no windows! I love being able to see outside, when like right now, snow is coming down in big beautiful flakes. I am so thankful for windows! Peace Neva I love windows!

How fortunate we are to live in a time where we have such easy access to God's Word in our language!

I remember it verbatim after three+ decades! "Sir, I am greatly embarrassed and deeply humiliated that due to unforeseen circumstances over which I have no control, the inner workings and hidden mechanisms of my chronometer are in such inaccord with the great sidereal movements by which time is commonly reckoned, I cannot with any degree of accuracy state the exact time. However, without fear of being too far wrong, I will estimate the time to be approximately ____ minutes, ____ seconds, past the hour of _______ (am or pm), on this ____ day of _______, in the year of our Lord, two thousand and seven, Sir!" Of course, back then the "year of our Lord" was "one thousand, nine hundred and seventy-three." The frat brothers would time us and we had to rattle that off in under five seconds or stand there and do it until we got it under that time limit. College life was such great fun!

I am filled with it when I look at God's creation. Or my grandson. Or, occasionally, even my psycho-pup and her never ending antics. I am filled with wonder when I think of the love of my wife and what she ever saw in me! I am filled with it when I think of the relationships I've had over the years ... that people who know me best, continue to call me friend. And I am filled with wonder when I consider life in the context of what we do on a daily basis, dealing with people in the context of death. Wonder! ! ! !
