Merry Christmas

On my way to Paris. Turns out you don’t depart from the international terminal. And terminal 1 is pretty far away from terminal 5. It wasn’t obvious how to get there. But after finding the tram, I made it in plenty of time.

I have a mechanical heart valve. It’s  strange to listen to it beat and then hear it, or rather not hear it, skip a beat.

Who was it that said, “Listen to your heart”?

I was really blessed to have my dad go ahead and get me android phone. .
Now I have a word press app that I can a post with speech recognition.

Here is our Rhoads October 2011.

There is also a letter from the MAF CEO about our support needs.

You’ve probably heard the cleshay, “It’s all God’s money.”  I’ve always believed that, at least at an intellectual level. But the truth of that statement just hit my heart today.

A few weeks ago, my dad was gracious enough to provide my  family with a membership to the Nampa Rec Center (a park district health club). I’ve been very faithful in going 5-6 days a week myself and also taking at least my daughter swimming and rock climbing.

I’ve found that the fact that my dad paid for the membership is much more motivating than if I had paid for it myself. I felt like if I didn’t use the membership and I paid for it that I’d just have been wasting my own money, but I could never waist my dad’s money.

But then that old cleshay hit me hard. My money isn’t my money. It’s my Heavenly Father’s money. And I should be just as motivated not to waste a penny of His money as I am not to waist my dad’s money.
