A Time to Be Thankful....

I was listening to KLOVE today and one of the radio personalities was asking people to call and say what they are thankful for...several people called in and said the things you would expect...The sovereignty of God, which covers all things...family, friends, etc...and it got me thinking...besides all those things, which of course I am EXTREMELY grateful for...what would I say I was thankful for if I was able to get through to the radio station??

My thoughts immediately went to my best friend Heather. In October of 2006 this wonderful woman was diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer. We had some days, and weeks, and months...where we weren't sure she would make it. But she has. She has survived the horrible disease, and the sometimes even more horrible treatment. I am certainly not the only one, but I am beyond grateful that God has granted Heather one more day, and by His Grace many more days!! She is like a sister to me and I miss her (because she moved to Florida in the midst of this ordeal!) a ton, but am very glad I can pick up the phone and give her a call!!

She has published a book that talks about (among other things) her ordeal with cancer and shows her amazing GOD perspective on all things. You can order it here!!

Sudden Hail Storm!!

Weather in the Valley of the Sun can be fickle at times!! It was sunny and in the low 70's this afternoon when we left church and suddenly at about 2:45 thunder crashed and we had a sudden storm!! It started as rain, then turned to hail about a cm in diameter, and now it's 3:02 and it's gone!! Go figure!! Still, it's exciting when we have WEATHER (that's not just HOT) here in the sun capitol of the world!! I took a few pictures for proof!!
