Taking the Scenic Route

Welcome to 2009

Welcome to 2009

I went to Towne East Mall today. It has been a while, and in my absence, they installed carpet all over the second floor. It looked good, which means it is probably pretty recent. lol. Helped a lot with the sound.

Found some good sales, although I couldn’t buy much. I went to see what was at Old Navy, but it was eerily empty to the point where I wonder if they are going out of business at this location. The few things that I saw online that I wanted were not marked down in the store, so I left with only one pair of fleece pants for Zora (boy’s fleece pants because girls are too wimpy for snow). I did find some shirts at Dillards for Zach for work. (His Hawaiian-style shirts are not working for winter for some reason) Nothing like $40-50 shirts for $11-$14. I got 3, which pretty much tapped me out so I headed home.

While away, Zach and the kids had fun. A little bit of soccer and then Zora wanted the camera.

We really need to think about getting the girl her own camera. It makes me nervous to hand over mine, but I enjoy seeing what she does.

  • Let’s open our hearts in prayer. Gracious and loving God your son taught us that your kingdom is among us. Yet so often we treat life as something to be gotten through instead of something to be embraced and to be cherished. We look ahead to the end of the work day, to the week-end, to the summer vacation, to retirement, and we forget that the only time we will ever have is now. Open our eyes and open our hearts so we know that we cannot collect the moments we waste and store them for future use, and we cannot hide our love away, protecting it, thinking the ideal time will someday arrive when we can reach into that vast reservoir of love we have saved up and joyfully pour it upon the world. Tomorrow may never come and we cannot relive a single wasted yesterday. Today is all we will ever have. Grant us the wisdom to understand that now is the time to embrace the fragile beauty of life and now is the only time we will ever have to love the people you have placed beside us for this mysterious and beautiful journey. — Gary Cox, pastorial prayer, after his terminal cancer diagnosis.
