Storms

This morning I woke up to a phone call with my Mom in Tennessee. She began to tell me about the huge storm, snow, rain, ice, a mess that was blanketing her community. She assumed of course that we would be having miserable conditions as well since we live in "Denver" now. I found it quite amusing to let her know it was sunny and hitting the 40's today.
Fact is you never know when and where the storms are gonna hit, and how intense they will be when they do arrive.
This would also be true in life, sometimes out of no where we get a curve ball that sends us spinning out of control. When some craziness comes your way remember, REMEMBER, God is in charge, He can handle it, we can trust Him. Storms will come, sunny days as well, so...lets enjoy the ride, and lets do this life together.

What Really Matters

I just left the hospital room of a beautiful lady who heard the words this week, you have cancer and there is really nothing we can do. She loves the Lord, loves her family, and is in a lot of pain, and has no idea of of the timeframe of when she will be called to her eternal home.
On the way to the car after a good visit it struck me, "what really matters" in this life. God for sure, your spouse, your kids, and what struck me in the room is how her pained face lit up with life when her husband mentioned that she taught the 3 year old Sunday School class for 17 years. WOW
Investment in others, letting others know that a foundation built on Jesus Christ is the best way to go. It's one of the things that you can look back on and say, "that really matters."
