Through the Eyes of Another

I want to send you to a CaringBridge site.  I want you to see, like I have seen, through the eyes of another.  This is a mother of 3 beautiful children who knows her time, if the Lord chooses to heal her on the other side of heaven, is limited.

I took this picture from
 Laura's Caring Bridge site.
 I think she's beautiful!
It is heartbreaking for me to read these, but it reminds me that even today is not promised.  I do not know Laura personally, but I wish I did.  I would tell her that she is beautiful.  I would tell her that she is strong.  I would remind her to hold on to God's promises.  But I think she knows these things already.  I can't imagine being in her shoes.  I've worn some uncomfortable shoes in my lifetime, but none like hers.

I'm praying for Laura.  I believe in a God who still works miracles.  I believe He loves Laura more than any of us can imagine.  I know He loves her family.  I'm asking you to pray for her too.  Pray for healing; pray for peace; pray for God's divine Will to be carried out; pray for a cure for cancer.

Praying for Laura & Celebrating Life,
                                                                                  ~ashley

Well Good for Fair Fanny Petro

This is one of favorite sayings from the movie, The Help.  The way Skeeter says it with just the right touch of 'I don't give a flying monkey's behind' is perfect...I.mean.PERFECT.  And you have to say it like  you are from 1960's deep south.  Which means you don't really pronounce your r's.  Here's the clip from youtube. This is a saying I'll say sometimes if somebody is talking about something I don't give two shakes about.  I thought it just a few hours ago as I was listening to the radio.  But to back up just a bit so you know why I said it... ...The older I get the more I don't  understand our fascination with Hollywood stars, musicians, and people who play collegiate/professional sports.  Most of them are not worth our time of day.  There is a large portion of them that are just, well, trash.  If they were living in your community, and were just a plain Jane normal person, you probably wouldn't have anything to do with them.

A Little Bone to Pick

Image
I have a little bone to pick with Team USA.  Hey y'all, will you please sing our national anthem when you win the gold medal?  I mean, you're standing there on the top level of the podium; the gold medal is hanging around your neck; our flag is being raised above all others; our national anthem is the one being played; and you are just standing there.  You are a citizen of the greatest country in the world.  Sing, please sing.  If you're not going to sing, then I want you smiling and/or crying like crazy. I can't even imagine all the work you have done to get to the point where you are now.  All the years of training, and forgoing a 'regular life' to pursue your dream.  I'm just a random mom from Alabama, but my patriotism is deep.  When you medal, we all medal.  We love your spirit, love it when you recognize your competitors, and love your sportsmanship.  Remember that there are hundred of thousands of little children watching you and wanting to be j
