annnnnnnnd...GO!

You know that game "Boggle"? Yeah, I like that game. But sometimes I don't like it so much when my mind is the thing that's being shaken up...having things falling into place...and then being picked-apart to find something meaningful.

19 is rapidly approaching. Where has this past year gone? It flew by much too fast, in my opinion. I should have savored everything a little bit more. The "uncomplicated days", I call them. Laying on a blanket in my back yard....under the lilacs....reading a book....being warmed by the sun.

But, man! In the middle of all of the...."confusion", or what-have-you, that the past 7 months have brought, I can truly say: Life is good.

Why?

Because GOD is good.

Everything that He's promised me has come to pass.

A major promise that has been fulfilled:
He restored my family...MAN! did He restore. Hallelujah. Praise God.

Nothing warms my heart quite so much as to see my mother and father working together in harmony around the house doing whatever. Or, what they were doing tonight, working together to get this weekend's crossword puzzle done. I also love to see what a change has taken place in my siblings lives. Instead of sibling rivalry there's a general camaraderie among them. I love it.

God is great, is He not?

So, even though I sometimes feel like my mind is the center of a complicated, sometimes confusing, game... It's a game full of surprises and blessings around each and every corner.

Okay, whose turn is it to shake the container? Wait, you turned the timer the last time...
