Defying Gravity

Thursday I went on my first flight with Reg in Juliet! WOW!! I was sort of nervous beforehand, but as we got ready to, I felt peaceful about the whole thing. The weather conditions were perfect..no winds, so no bumps! Reg did a great job! I took a bunch of pictures. We flew for about 45 minutes and afterwards celebrated at Burger King..(I'm a cheap date)

Rambling thoughts

Well, it's most definitely been an interesting time. Emily's moving to California ended up being one of the easier parts of the last month! John Henderson died March 1st. This past Sunday (18th) was his wake at the Haven (pub) in Parkland. Then a few of us went to Truman Glick Park in Matlock to scatter his ashes in the creek. That was different! I'm not sure how to define my feelings. I know I was thinking about my folks and how that's going to be when it's time to do that for them. It was sad to say goodbye to John. Eternity without the Lord can not be a good thing. Watching my Mom go downhill has been very hard. There's the part of me that wants things the way they were, but the other part says I don't want her to suffer a long time either in her current state. This Sunday I'll be leading worship at Moriah..The theme that came to me was overcoming. Without the Lord, all the "stuff" of the past few weeks would be unbearable. But, I have a Redeemer. I have an advocate! I have someone I can bare my fears, tears and uncertainties to..



On a lighter note, last night I finished my first full quilt top. The next step is the borders and then the backing..I think that seems more intimidating than all the squares. I have no idea what I'll do with this quilt..but, it sure is soft...It's flannel! I have the first year's quilt to finish too. I think that I'll put that one in my new guest room..aka Emily's room..
