Arizona Sunshine

We are here in Phoenix visiting my parents and soaking up the sunshine before heading off to Kauai. We have been enjoying the time with family and once again I am humbled by how easy it has been in my life to replace family with job, convenience, church, and selfish desires/ambitions. I am choosing to put family (not just my own children) first in action not just thought or word.
Boy it feels good to get that off my chest!

My racing schedule just came to a screeching halt as I readjust my priorities once again.

Does anyone remember my 'dire predictions' from last, let's see, I think it was about... April 2008. Yeah, I just found it here. Is There A Crisis?

I ask the same question again. Are we in a crisis yet? I praise God that His Word is sufficient enough for the day!

Take encouragement from His Word. Read Proverbs 3 and meditate on His truth if you are one who is feeling the despair of the day.

"Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;" Prov.3:5

February, sweet February

February is my favorite "month" of the year. Not necessarily my favorite time of the year or season, simply my favorite month. You can probably guess why.

Valentines Day! (er, actually that is NOT the reason!)

President's Day (definitely not a consideration since I left school, it was nice as far as a day off goes)

Okay, I will tell you the fascination for me with the month of February. I was born in February. My sister, my grandmother, my nephew, my cousins first born, my second mom, and some of my bestest friends were all born in the month of February.
Doesn't that make it rank up there in the best months of all time? Abraham Lincoln was born in February (my maiden name is Lincoln) and our first President, George Washington, was also born in the wonderful month. Really, all my life I have thought that it must be the most special month of all because so many special people were born within it's 28 and sometimes 29 days. Oh, yeah, what other month has a leap day??
None.
February is definitely special.
