I plan to be in O’Hare next week, so this will give me something to appreciate. If you’d like, let me know when you’ll be in Abilene, or if there’s anything I can do to help with the anxiety–meet you at the airport, for coffee, whatever!

Hey Dee - Thanks for coming by (several times) and encouraging me to get back to blogging. Lots of excuses but I’ve really missed keeping in touch.

Love these 2 stories — I had seen them before but it still grabs your attention. It is a good illustration of how doing the right thing — even when it is very difficult, maybe even unappreciated by anyone at the time — can have a major impact on a situation way down the road. I think of the phrase “God works in mysterious ways” and I’m sure Godknew when his Spirit was tugging at “Easy Eddie’s” heart that if he made the right choice his son would be a hero. I wonder how many times he is thrown into tears when I fail to hear his voice and he has to go work with someone else to accomplish his wonders. God doesn’t need me to “get the job done” but I sure need to be listening to him.

God Bless
Charlie

Wow - powerful. It goes to show that any downward cycle can not only be broken but reversed as evident in the 2 related stories. It simply takes one brave act of “right - thinking.” In Christ there is always hope and a chance to turn things around.

Thanks for the neat stories, they made my heart sing. I hope your weekend is beautiful. Here in central Florida we have thunderstorms. A good day to curl up with a book and look out the window occasionally. God bless, Pat
