A Moment in Life
Today, Audrey will attend her first day of Kindergarten. Big day!
We are living in North Dakota now while we continue to wait on what God has in store. I suppose in some people's mind it would seem like God has forgotten us or maybe not had a plan for us or maybe we aren't hearing HIM correctly.
That is not how I see it and not how I believe my God works. God has a plan for everyone. There is no plan A or plan B; there is just God's plan. God takes our choices and circumstances, and HIS plan and mixes them to make beautiful, sweet lemonade that is HIS very best for us. God's Best Lemonade!
Today is another step in the journey God has for us. It is another step in following a God that wishes HIS best for us every day. It is God's best for us today!
To God be the glory for all things that have happened and that will happen!

Audrey's Birthday!
Today is my five year olds birthday!!
She had an awesome birthday! She talked to family. She opened gifts. We took her training wheels off. We went to her favorite restaurant.
Turning five is a big deal. It is a moment of significance. I would not go quite as far as to call it a rite of passage. It IS a time to remember. A time to celebrate a milestone.
Today was a day of liturgies. No, of course not in the normal way the word liturgy is used. But instead a liturgy of family. All families have their liturgies. For some it involves a Sunday morning and the comic section. I remember as a kid the Saturday morning liturgy. T
That was when good cartoons were on and the best ones were on starting at 6 am! You had to get up early to see the best. So get up early my brother and I did. We would get up and creep to the living room. We would get our bowls and our sugar cereal and turn on the TV. Superfriends! Amazing Spiderman! Fat Albert! School House Rock! The Grape Ape Show! Captain Caveman! And of course the “violent” Bugs Bunny Show.
It was a ritual. A liturgy. It had meaning in the life of the family. Today was one of THOSE days. My opinion? She will never forget today.
Those are great days!
