Today my heart is full

on Easter Sunday I finally stopped worrying about life long enough to reflect on all I do have. My eyes keep tearing, but my heart is full.

...My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly trust in Jesus’ Name.

...At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light, And the burden of my heart rolled away, It was there by faith I received my sight, And now I am happy all the day!...

...Christ the Lord is risen today, allelujah! Sons of men and angels say, allelujah! Raise your voice and triumphs high, allelujah! Seek ye Heaven, and earth rejoice, allelujah!...

...Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above. Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it, Mount of Thy redeeming love...

...Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come, Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home, When Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He: His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me....

...For I know my redeemer lives, and in the end he will stand on the earth. For I know my redeemer lives, and in the end he will reign on the earth....

...Trust and obey, for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey....

...Blessèd assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood....

i need some spring

our time in las vegas was great! lovely spring day after spring day. and then we came home. ugh. dreary and grey and rain almost every day since. only here in the pac NW do our forcasters promise us "sunbreaks". and by that they mean 10 minutes of blue sky peeking through ominous black clouds.

Vegas Baby!

WooHoo!! 2 days to go till we fly out for a whole week in (what I really hope is) sunshine! YAAY!!! I get to have my Christmas present now - a week in Las Vegas!

4 days at the WCC tournament at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas followed by 4 days just hanging out and seeing what we can. AND we get to see Terry Fator! He is incredible - seriously. If you have not heard of him, you really should look him up on YouTube. He won America's Got Talant last year, most deservedly, and along with a million dollars gets his own live show at the Mirage!

Well, it's sure been awhile...

...and I still got nothin'. *sigh*

Is there such thing as "liver's block"? like writer's block? ... no, not liver like kidney or spleen, but liver like one who lives. yeah, yeah, I know that isn't a real word but so what. I deal every single day with physicians who make up all kinds of words so I can too. :-)

It's gotta be the weather. We did get a few days in a row of sunshine last week which did WONDERS for my outlook, but now it's been a dull, droll, and disappointing grey day after grey day. I suppose it'll get nice out sooner or later... I just keep hoping for sooner than later.
