Blake and I had a great dinner last night with his friends from CPFI- Christian Pharmacist Fellowship International. We did a little thing called Popcorn Preaching where each of us shared for a couple of minutes what God was doing in our lives. The leader of the group told us that he had recently been asked what he was thankful for and it brought to mind a quote that went like this:
"I cried because I had no shoes, then I met a man who had no feet."
I complain about Blake and I being busy, and then I remember how thankful I should be. Yes, Blake has to study, but it's only for a season, and he's getting the chance to chase his dream. Yes, sometimes I have to work late, but there are many people that have no jobs right now and don't know how to provide for their family. We make lots of plans with friends and church and family, but we HAVE friends and church and family.
Thank you for your words of encouragement, and know how thankful I am for the many blessings I have been given.

Ya know that saying?
FYI this post is on the negative side, so if you're having a great day, skip right on past this because I have no desire to ruin it.
I once read, "I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least a little bit tired."
I can't remember the last time we weren't at least a little bit busy. Work, school, house, dogs, church, friends, hobbies, hobbies that are turning into nice little side work, family, the list goes on.
Even when we do have down time (and this is especially true for Blake), we always know there's something we should be doing instead of taking it easy. So is it really worth the down time if 80% of it is spent thinking about the fact that the house needs to be vaccuumed, or the bills need to be paid, or Blake needs to study? How do you get rid of the guilty feeling and just enjoy the two hours you've set aside to spend time with your spouse?
I really need to vaccuum.

Picture for our Living Room
Here is a photo I took in San Antonio, that I did some fun stuff with in Photoshop, and now I'm thinking of getting it made into a large print for our living room. Thoughts?
