I just want to stop and thank God for being faithful. Prayers have been lifted regarding my need for compassion. God has really been working on my heart and I'm able to recognize some of the situations where...in the past I would make a snap judgment about someone who may look..less desirable or just different than me, and miss the opportunity to either minister to them or help meet a need, or just pray for them. I'm starting to take advantage of those opportunities. I'm trying to be mindful of the blessings He's given me and my family and be a better steward of those blessings. If that means using the health and strong back he's given me to push a truck down the road and get it out of harms way, instead of driving by and assuming someone else will help, then that's what I need to do. I want my instinct to be to serve, and not have to wage that war in my head before I respond out of love and compassion. I'm not sure I've stayed on topic or not, but I think I'm done for now.
Peas owt!!

Please update your blog. Do I need to send you a copy of "Blogging Etiquette" the second edition?
Has the Spades Commissioner already started showing favoritism? Terry and I will have none of that.

Judy, i really don't think this counts as a blog. I think Tyler and Ben took the same "How to Blog" class...apparently they missed the day "posting" was taught.
