It's Monday!

• I feel guilty because it's been a long time in between blogs. Why should I feel that way? I am not of the persuasion my blog is a lifeline for anybody. I, my blog nor anyone else's blog is that important. Anyway here are some thoughts on my mind this morning.
• I need change in my life sometimes just for the sake of change. I realize it's not for everyone but I need that. I was just speaking to a friend of mine who feels the same way. He helped me to see that I am not alone. Maybe we are weird. It won't be the first time anyone has thought or said that about me.
• Have you heard of Ethan Bortnik? He is a 6 year old piano prodigy. You can google him on the Tonight Show. It is unbelievable and worth 7 minutes of your time. 
• How is your prayer life? I read an article written by an Army Chaplain entitled "Some Pray and Die" which I believe is very profound and insightful. Here is a little excerpt...     Is there such a thing as getting the "breaks" in prayer? What about the fellows who pray regularly, but get killed regularly? I wish people would stop writing about the soldiers who pray and have their prayers answered by not getting killed. Why do all the other soldiers seem to get the wrong answer?
• I only watch College basketball when "March Madness" begins. Since Kentucky failed to make the tourney why not pull for Louisville? I also like NC because of their coach Roy Williams. He is a Follower of Christ!
• Danny Gokey is still my favorite to win AI!
• Spring Break begins this weekend and I am looking forward to spending time with my family. 

Just some thoughts!

• God is not surprised by the economic downturn and it could be a great blessing. God has a way of making good out of bad you know!
• I am ready for SPRING weather.
• God is teaching me a lot in the book of Philippians.
• It's hard to lose weight at 51 because I have a greater desire to eat and less desire to exercise than I did at 21.
• I have never seen an episode of 24.
• I believe Danny Gokey (contestant on American Idol) is my favorite!
• A former contestant on AI has been nominated for a Dove Award. His name is Chris Sligh! You can vote for him at http://www.gospelmusicchannel.com/dovesvoting

One many will miss!

I just found out this morning about Paul Harvey's death. What a wonderful commentator, gifted communicator, and radio personality. There are many more terms which could describe Paul Harvey however none would be more honorable than "Christian Follower of Jesus." He was a believer in our Lord. On Saturday he died at the age of 90 and as he so often said, "Now He knows the Rest of the Story!" 

"Absent from the body present with the Lord"
