R S V

They say that you got it from your kids. Most of the time people are talking about insanity. No me. I am talking about RSV. My dear daughter is dealing with this in her three kids and it's not a fun thing to do. She worries all the time. I know how miserable I am with this cough, and they say it will last for up to 6 weeks. UGH! So, today I opened up my e-mail and I had a forward from my friend Barb Glaysher. It was from some Pastor on the meaning of life. I thought it was sort of profound, so I am copying just a part of the interview I though was pertinent. So enjoy the quote, it made me remember why we are really here.

One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body-- but not the end of me. I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act - the dress rehearsal. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity. We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to make sense.
Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one. The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort; God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.

Well, I should have a whole lot of character by the time we're done here, shouldn't I?! I'm so sorry for Lisa - wish I were closer to help - just give her a chance to sleep.
