Not Me Monday

Not Me Monday is the opportunity to share some things about your week that are so unlike you, there is no way that you did them!

I had to go to the dentist last week for a crown. Having been blessed not to have had much dental work needed, I wasn't sure what to expect. So, it was certainly Not Me who dreaded that first Novocaine shot for two days prior to the appointment! It was Not Me who sat in the dentist chair and did not ask questions, and was a little stunned that they had to drill my tooth WAY down to put the crown on it!

It was very cold here last week and our family enjoyed a couple of warm and cozy nights in front of the fireplace. On one such cozy night, we were all there in our pajamas, right before bed and the boys had the Grand Old Opry show on tv. Right before bed a song they liked came on, so we all watch Trace Atkins croon a song about "Your Gonna Miss This" where seasons of life are shared and how fast they go by. It was Not Me who embraced the quality time moment by tearing up and crying. When the song was over, all three of my guys looked at me with surprise and shock, then asked the inconceivable question: "You're not crying over that song are you?" No, Not Me!

Finally being the health conscious person that I am, and one who strictly follows the no food two hours before bed rule, it was Not Me who last night came home from church and devoured two chili dogs right before bed, no, never, that was Not Me!

    I totally do not cry every time I hear that song. Because it does not make me miss my son who is in the Navy! Nope not me!

    I can completely relate to your dental visit. I had to have a cavity filled last spring and nearly died from anxiety in the days before my appointment. Thankfully all went well.

    And...chili dogs right before bed? Ooooh, you are a brave woman! That most definitely is Not Me!

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Relationships and Redemption

In every friendship or relationship, there is a common hope that they will grow and flourish. There is something inside of us that longs for a 'happy every after' story. We dream about it and work to make that happen. But in reality, relationships are a challenge. The bridging of values, lifestyles, interests and sacrificing for another are simply hard things to do! No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some
