I took my project a step further and created this!

CAUTION!
We have to create a mandala for our Art class.
So what better one to create that my football team!

HUH?

There was the sign..."Don't think of it as a recession, but as delayed-success"
I always thought of recess as play period. Well this is the loooooooonnnnnnnnggggggggeestt play period I've ever been in and I want to get back to class!

Snapshot

A couple of weeks ago we started an evening discussion entitled "Saving Jesus". pretty interesting title! This evening one of the Speakers comments was something like this, "our knowledge of Jesus is just a snapshot. There is more in the bible about Paul and his personality than Jesus. My thought is about each of us. We know so many people through the years. Some have known us longer than others. Some know more about us than others. So...if someone had a snapshot of you what would it be? What snapshots have I left people with?

What a great day to celebrate turning 55. I look in the mirror and don't see myself as 55. My friend Barbara turned 55 in April and now we're even...if that's possible. I've had many memorable birthdays. let's see, there was the time I spent my 24th birthday in jail, there was the time I was fired from a job that meant so much to me. I celebrated my 50th birthday with Debby and Cairo. We had breakfast at the Court of Two Sisters in New Orleans. It seems each birthday gets more memorable though not always a memory you want. This morning Barbara texted me "happy birthday birthday boy". She always remembers! We went for a bike ride and stopped by the Mockingbird for breakfast. It was great! Tim makes the best bananna pancakes. This is a tough time with the recession but you can always find something to smile about. And I have much to smile about today. I'm still emotional at 55 and I looked across the table at Barbara. I am so grateful to be here in Bay St. Louis, MS. I shared with Barbara, I have never felt so welcome as I do here. Small town struggling to make it, we're hanging in there TOGETHER. The day is young, there is much to do. Thank you Father for this time in my life.
