God's Goodness

I am sitting at starbucks in the beautiful Sierra Mountains with London (my daughter). This is the last week before school for both my kids so we are enjoying some much needed family time. As I look up at the majestic mountains at "Heavenly" to my right and beautiful Lake Tahoe down below, I can't help but think of how blessed I am.

God has blessed me with a wonderful family, a great church and so many great friends and most of all....I have the wonderful gift of the Holy Ghost. London and I drove through the mountains this morning while Boss and Sheila were still in bed.

These are special moments, next week she enters her senior year of High School and Boston starts his freshmen year of college. As He was registering for class my mind went back to what seems like yesterday, to the day my dad took me to the LSU campus to register me for class (gueax tigers). Where has time gone? This life is so fleeting. We are as the "grass that withereth", so while I am here, I want to recognize the moments of blessing that our wonderful God provides. Nothing is much better than sitting here "saved" in Tahoe, drinking a Sugar-free, vanilla, Breve, latte (de-caff) with my Daughter.

Music Eloquence said...: Merry Christmas to you guys. We love and miss you very much. I just had a really funny memory... remember in the old church when we had our family Christmas service and a bunch of us were all sitting on the platform. I just remembered that Sis.Wilson was not there (I think she was taking care of Becky) that day so we played the entire service over the speaker phone... and somehow it slipped out that we were eating popcorn in church... using THEIR popcorn machine and making an absolute mess in the entire sanctuary. Remember she FREAKED OUT!!! LOLOL Those are some of the greatest and sweetest memories of home... even if we did have a huge mess to clean up. Keep making those fun memories. Love you all.

PS I love your Christmas pictures.; December 22, 2008 at 2:40 PM

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LONDON

Man where has time gone? 14 years ago today my little baby London made her grand entrance into my world. My world has never been the same since. London, you are the sunshine of our life. You are beautiful, smart and independent. You are going to be great and I am not ashamed to tell the whole world that I am your dad. You make me proud. Thanks for coming with me to North Carolina. I hope you enjoy those shoes I bought you (and I thought your mom liked weird shoes). HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LONDON.

I LOVE YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH!
