Adventures in Driving

We took Amy to the airport this morning. We had a touch of extra time so we hit the mall for an hour or so before she needed to catch that flight out. We were in for a bit of a shock when we walked out the door. The street that had been wet when we went in was now a solid sheet of ice. We could barely walk to the car. The drive to the airport, which on dry streets might have taken all of 15 minutes now took us about 45. We were cutting it pretty close. There were dozens of cars in the ditch and knocked about on the side of the road. We couldn't drive fast. We needed to drive fast. We slid through a stop light-good thing nothing was in front of us! When she got to the airport the plane was "boarding". And she needed to get through security yet. 20 minutes to spare. The only thing left to do was to send up a prayer that she would really make the flight. I wonder, does God answer prayers when we've created our own foolishness? We should have left earlier. We really didn't deserve a 'good' outcome. But He is so full of love for us, and so faithful to us that I think He really would provide a way for Amy to make the flight! I don't want to test Him again, though....

Christmas Daughter

The time has come again when we take Amy back to the airport. Goodness it seems like we say goodbye a lot. I know I've said it more than once, "It seems like you just got here." But she's been here since mid December. I can get used to having her here. We saw her in July. Now December. Almost as bad as when she was in Korea. But she'll be done with school in one more semester. That time has really flown by too. (probably only for me. She probably feels every second of it!) Then where she'll head off to we will leave in the Lord's hands. But here she is having a great Christmas time with family. Love you lots Amy.

Can you tell what I'm thinking about? No, it's not a guessing game. It's a lament I guess. Wasn't it two years ago I was wanting to lose weight? Oh wait. It was two years ago. And it was last year. And now, third year in a row it's still me wanting to lose weight. Only now it's 3 times more than what it was 3 years ago. This is pathetic. I do ok once I get over a certain 'hump' in the whole process. But that takes weeks. I shouldn't do this at the same time every year, I'm in a rut I guess. Onward to skinny or maybe I should just go with slim.
