Myles met and spent a lot of time with Matt Damon at a fund raiser for Hemophilia five years ago in California. It is so strange to me now to see Myles' arms and hands without the burns.
I think buggies is cuter don't you?

He Didn’t Quit
Tuesday, November 27, 2007
“He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.”
John 1:11 NIV
Lee Lelpi is a retired firefighter, a New York City firefighter. He gave twenty-six years to the city. But on September 11, 2001, he gave much more. He gave his son. Jonathan Lelpi was a fireman as well. When the Twin Towers fell, he was there.
Firefighters are a loyal clan. When one perishes in the line of duty, the body is left where it is until a firefighter who knows the person can come and quite literally pick it up. Lee made the discovery of his son’s body his personal mission. He dug daily with dozens of others at the sixteen-acre graveyard. On Tuesday, December 11, three months after the disaster, his son was found. And Lee was there to carry him out.
The father didn’t quit. Why? Because his love for his son was greater than the pain of the search. Can’t the same be said about Christ? Why didn’t he quit? Because the love for his children was greater than the pain of the journey.
WOW . . . now that is an awesome story of love and dedication.
Much love to you . . . and continued prayers for ALL

Descend Into God’s Love
Wednesday, November 28, 2007
“I have no one in heaven but you; I want nothing on earth besides you.”
Psalm 73:25
My friend Keith took his wife, Sarah, to Cozumel, Mexico to celebrate their anniversary. Sarah loves to snorkel. Give her fins, a mask, and a breathing tube, and watch her go deep. Down she swims, searching for the mysteries below.
Keith’s idea of snorkeling includes fins, a mask, and a breathing tube, but it also includes a bellyboard. The surface satisfies him.
Sarah, however, convinced him to take the plunge. Forty feet offshore, she shouted for him to paddle out. He did. The two plunged into the water where she showed him the twenty-foot-tall submerged cross. “If I’d had another breath,” he confessed, “the sight would have taken it away.”
Jesus waves for you to descend and see the same. Forget surface glances. No more sunburned back. Go deep. Take a breath and descend so deeply into his love that you see nothing else.
GOD bless all of you. Much love and continued prayers to all.

Saying Yes to God’s Purpose
Thursday, November 29, 2007
“I must preach the kingdom of God…because for this purpose I have been sent.”
Luke 4:42-43 NKJV
After Christ’s forty-day pause in the wilderness, the people of Capernaum “tried to keep Him from leaving them; but He said to them, ‘I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.’”
He resisted the undertow of the people by anchoring to the rock of his purpose: employing his uniqueness to make a big deal out of God everywhere he could.
And aren’t you glad he did? Suppose he had heeded the crowd and set up camp in Capernaum, reasoning, “I thought the whole world was my target and the cross my destiny. But the entire town tells me to stay in Capernaum. Could all these people be wrong?”
Yes they could! In defiance of the crowd, Jesus…said no to good things so he could say yes to the right thing: his unique call.
Much love and continued prayers to all. Aunt k8
A Fountain of Love
Friday, November 30, 2007
“This is what real love is:…it is God’s love for us in sending his Son to be the way to take away our sins.”
I John 4:10
You’ve had enough of human love. Haven’t you? Enough guys wooing you with Elvis-impersonator sincerity. Enough tabloids telling you that true love is just a diet away. Enough helium-filled expectations of bosses and parents and pastors. Enough mornings smelling like the mistakes you made while searching for the love the night before.
Don’t you need a fountain of love that won’t run dry? You’ll find one on a stone-cropped hill outside Jerusalem’s walls where Jesus hangs, cross-nailed and thorn-crowned. When you feel unloved, ascend this mount. Meditate long and hard on heaven’s love for you. Both eyes beaten shut, shoulders as raw as ground beef, lips bloody and split. Fists of hair yanked from his beard. Gasps of air escaping his lungs. As you peer into the crimsoned face of heaven’s only Son, remember this: “God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners” (Rom. 5:8).
God is good . . .all the time!! Much love. Hope you all have a great weekend. The shopping begins!! Much love and continued prayers for all!

Water for the Soul
Monday, December 03, 2007
“If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.”
John 7:37 NKJV
Are you anyone? If so, then step up to the well. You qualify for his water.
All ages are welcome. Both genders invited. No race excluded. Scoundrels. Scamps. Rascals and rubes. All welcome. You don’t have to be rich to drink, religious to drink, successful to drink; you simply need to follow the instructions on what—or better, who—to drink. Him. In order for Jesus to do what water does, you must let him penetrate your heart. Deep, deep inside.
Internalize him. Ingest him. Welcome him into the inners workings of your life. Let Christ be the water of your soul.
Hey all! We're all starting feel the cool/cold winds of Winter blowing on us. The leaves are giving way to Winter's chill. You all are loved and prayed for continually.
