And I had a chance to hold my friend's little newborn. She is precious beyond words! There is nothing that compares with a tiny baby's innocence. *big happy sigh* There's something very special about newborns at a time of mourning. They remind us that life goes on and God keeps adding precious people to this world.

The most beautiful
discovery true friends make
is that they can grow
separately without growing
apart.

I thought this quote was beautiful.

I would think the water gun would be a lot more fun for Sam...

Very true, Sam, very true.
From someone living in a cold climate, opening the windows would be counter productive. He'd just burrow deeper under his blankets. Once you've soaked his bed with water, it won't be comfortable to lay there anymore.

Hi Maggie.
What a day it has been. My headache is almost gone ...
Dennis' funeral was wonderful. His coworkers put together a video honoring his memory. It was beautiful. Lots of references to his faith. Dennis was the joke / story teller, you know the kind that have a meaning to them. "Dennis parables" LOL
His granddaughter sang "I Can Only Imagine". She has an incredible voice!
We went to the National Cemetary and he had a 21-gun salute. This was the first time I have been to a graveside service for a serviceman. There were several elderly men who did the salute, and played Taps, and gave the simple service. I really appreciated them! What an amazing service they perform for those being buried there.
So many tears today.
This was a man who truly loved his wife. I want a marriage like theirs ... what an inspiration! Have you ever been around a couple and could just feel their love for one another? My heart breaks for her.
But, even through the tears of sadness of this temporary separation until I see him again, I did have a little smile. I pictured him loving the fact that he was in heaven, at the feet of Jesus, and humbly asking him "Please, Lord, please, bring Mark home. He has suffered so much."
THAT was Dennis' heart. So full of love.

It sounds like it was a good service. I'm glad you were able to attend.

Do you ever feel like you are in an alien land?
You look around you and everything seems foreign?
You hear what others say and think "Wow. Where did that come from?"
You see what others are doing and wonder "Wow. Do they think that is acceptable behavior?"
Do you ever feel like this world is spinning completely out of control?
Thank God for friends in my life who are also believers. They help me realize I am not losing my mind. That what is going on in the world around me is all part of His plan. And they help me stay strong.

God is so awesome! Here are two verses that He brought to my attention this morning ...
For our citizenship is in heaven ... (Philippians 3:20)
... and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever (Psalms 23:6)

Hi Sam, were your question rhetorical or were you looking for actual answers instead?

Hi Sam, ok I would say yes and yes, or yes to all!
Reminds me of the scripture:
1 Peter 4:12 (NIV):
12Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you.

It was chilly in the early mornings earlier this week, then got into the 50's or so. Its been more mild later in the week but has been rainy and wet since Thursday.

We have snow--lots and lots of snow (and ice). No sandals for us anymore, but I can pretty much guarantee that there will be a couple of people at church wearing shorts, silly people.

Now I have a friend who used to (and maybe still does) do that.

I am not a balloon fan ... something about a whole bunch of brothers and popping balloons. Yeah, gotta love some of those memories. 
But I have to share that he created a fishing pole and caught a 
, so it's pretty cute. 
I'm not sure if was the idea that I would actually do such a thing, or if it was the big smile on my face ...
