I just noticed a silly subject-line on a christianbook advertisement (yikes, not a fan of the rabid Christianeze retail!) in my azielle email account: "Read the Bible in 90 days!" WOO HOO!
Now why would a person want to FLY through Scripture reading -- in 90 days which is probably a zillion chapters a day - rather than mozying with the journey for at least a year or two? We are so ENAMORED with speed. Slurping wine like it's a Dairy Queen slurpee ruins it. Some things must be savored. Scripture, like a good wine, is one. Goodness Sakes!
Gabe seems to be learning this: He's savoring a slow journey of a few chapters a day. And loving it. Good lad!

11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude
remarks.
And always remember....when life hands you Lemons, ask for tequila and salt and call us over!
Good friends are like stars........
