Still Visiting This Planet

I don't want to steal Vicki's post so go here and read the whole thing.

Here's a taste:

People ask me, What is the purpose of life? And I respond: In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were not made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven.

One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body-- but not the end of me.

I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act - the dress rehearsal.. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity.

We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to make sense.

Just visiting this planet baby. Just visiting...

Nothing New Under The Sun

More sad than funny.


... men are without excuse...For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools... They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

Pray for these pilgrims. Pray they find their way.

30 years and Counting

To celebrate our 30 years of marriage (Sept. 9), Blue Eyes and I decided to join the ranks of the rich and famous for a weekend. We headed over to Palm Beach and spent the weekend at The Breakers.

It was only a 3 hour drive and, Hurricane Ike not withstanding, the weather turn out to be fantastic.




Given our limited budget, we had booked a standard room. When we arrived the lady checking us in announced "We've got good news! To honor your anniversary we've upgraded your room to an ocean front, luxury suite!" Well, we smiled and said thank you very much not knowing what awaited us. We then proceeded to our room. HOLY SHINOLA!! Unbelievable.

And view to the right...


The boudoir....


the sitting room...




and of course the very happy couple...


We later learned the room rents for $1000 a night. YIKES!
After the shock wore off, we headed down to the beach area.
I returned to the room an hour later to get Blue Eyes a bottle of water and found this on the table..


Our good friends had sent us a bottle of champagne with about a dozen chocolate covered strawberries. As you can see I left one for the Mrs....

We went out for dinner Saturday night and spent Sunday lounging around the pool area until it was time to come home. All in all we had a great weekend.

Sunday night Lisa made us our favorite shrimp dinner with cheesecake as our dessert.

Perfect weekend.

I leave you with the card the little guy and his mommy gave us for our anniversary.

Notice the captions on the front of the card and his little note on the inside...
