Just a couple quick notes...

• Headed to the airport to see the newlyweds as they come home from their honeymoon before they depart again in the morning for the mission field.
• Praying for a friend's daughter who was critically burned Saturday night.  Please join me in praying for healing for Addie and comfort for her family.

Until tomorrow...

In Congress, July 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

  Read it here; it will only take about ten minutes of your time.

timely quotes from two of my favourite thinkers:

"Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

~C.S. Lewis, from God in the Dock

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction."

~Ronald Reagan

Dear God, thank You for You.

Just DOing it & NaBloPoMo

My best friend, who died a couple of weeks ago, and I were both interested in Myers-Briggs personality typing, and we are both INTPs, which means that getting things done is a struggle.  She was forever encouraging me to embrace the process and practice just DOing it.  We were also both summer babies; my birthday being at the end of June and hers at the beginning of August.  There are 34 days in between, so in honour of her, I am making a list of 34 things to accomplish before her birthday on August the first.  I have created a separate page on which to make and keep track of my list here, but the first thing on it is to blog every day in July.  To that end, I have signed up with National Blog Posting Month.

I have now blogged my first daily post!
