Everyday?!? Yikes!!!!

I said I’d post everyday. As I said yesterday-or the day before-I did not think this through. I can’t watch the news. Like Auburn football, it scares me to death. It doesn’t scare me for me; I’ve had a great life. I want Ben & Ginny Grace and Tripp & Audrey Rose and Ann Harper AND all who are to come to have an even better life. Things look rough to me. But, 42 years ago, the US was engaged in a very real Cold War. It’s easy to look back now and say, “It wasn’t that bad.” But it was. We were at a family reunion; Heather had just really started walking. Her father’s aunt observed, “What kind of people would bring a child into this world?” I thought. “Well, you’re sitting by one and it’s a little late to put her back.” Beth gave me a book in 1980-Heather had been walking a while by then. It is by Marilee Zdenek. and is entitled Splinters in My Pride. Here’s a quote that has gotten me through some difficult days

It’s hard to raise children when you’re a constant seeker (and rather hard on the children I suppose) because the rules keep changing as you outgrow the things you believed to be true and discover other things that are also true. In a world where only God isn’t changing, sometimes it takes some doing just to keep things in focus.”

Not a bad post if I say so myself.
