movies, smells and such

I have a small window of opportunity - got the chicken in the oven for supper and it's still 45 minutes before I have to get my oompa loompa from play practice! What, you ask? Yes, my second grader is an oompa loompa for the 8th grade play at PCGS this year and I have to say he was the cutest thing today at dress rehearsal with spiked hair, colorful toe socks and suspenders!! Who thinks of this stuff?!
I like many of the movies you have mentioned, The Princess Bride, Sound of Music, Footloose... oh, nobody mentioned that one? my bad - that movie represented my high school rebellion, I must admit. I also much admit I'm a sucker for a good musical also and can't wait to see High School Musical 111.
Because I'm married to a fan of the Lord of the Rings books, we of course own all those movies and the skinny half-dead looking guy Gollum, gets quoted around here quite often. In fact, we haven't watched those in quite a while, so it may be time again. (our two youngest are not allowed to watch them, but they quote them too) "What's tatoes, master?", Po-ta-toe, mash em, boil em, put them in a stew!!"
Moving on. Thanks for praying for me a couple weeks ago. It was much appreciated. I'm finding God's timing is always right - even though I don't always see it at the time.
Joshua is a great character to study. I love that the Lord tells him 3 times to be strong and courageous - how many times doesn't He have to tell me something before I get it? I'm learning that it isn't so much the destination - though that is important, but the journey. I give thanks for the place I am right now.
Oh, yeah, smells - hmmm, I love the smell of fresh baked goods, especially cinnamon rolls. Not sure I'd want to smell that after a rain, but it sure beats the thawing hog yards!!! :)
I love reading your blogs - please keep on blogging!!
