Looking Around The Hometown

While looking around the hometown this past weekend, I had the opportunity to see "The Century Plant". It rarely blooms, but when it does, the long thingie with a cyme of big yellow flowers can reach up to 25 feet. The plant dies after flowering, but produces suckers from the base, which continue it's growth. The average lifespan is around 28 years.

Class Reunion Photo

12 out of 50 graduates attended our class reunion. Steve and his bride drove the longest distance to be at the reunion. I drove 3 hours and the rest of the group live in and around our hometown. It was a night full of old stories and lots of laughter!

There is Not a Victory Without A Conflict

(JuJu (L) & Kim (R) I first met Kim about 6 weeks ago. The first thing I noticed about her
was her beautiful Hungarian red hair! (No she is not Hungarian - just the color of her hair is very Hungarian) Of course, my thoughts drifted back to fond memories of being surrounded by women who had this same hair color. So I took a photo of she and JuJu and titled it "Two Beautiful Ladies". (I will blog about JuJu in a later blog.)

Until yesterday, since our initial meeting, I had met Kim only on one other occasion. That was at a recent Women's Conf. It was nice to see a familiar face in the crowd and also a hair color that once again took me back to pleasant thoughts of life in Hungary.

Kim seems abit self conscious about her scares, but they are not disfiguring at all. You see, she is a cancer survivor. Many years ago she was first diagnosed with a cancer in the area of her chin. The day this photo was made she had received a good report from her doctor. Yesterday, she and her husband Jim came by the office. Kim had not received such a good report and they are wanting to pull her teeth.

Please pray that she will not have to have her teeth pulled and that the bone structure will heal and be healthy and that she can live cancer free. She is a wife, Mother of two, pastor's wife, encourager, friend to many..... as the list could go on and on.

In talking with she and her husband, he mention that "there is not a victory without a conflict." As I am writing this, I am thinking about Jeremiah 29:11 that God has plans to prosper Kim and Jim . He has plans that include hope and a future. Thank God for His hope!

Quote Worth Re-Quoting

Let each one [give] as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion, for God loves (that is, He takes pleasure in, prizes above other things, and is unwilling to abandon or to do without) a cheerful (joyous, prompt-to-do-it) giver.... And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance. 2nd Corinthians 9:7-8, Amp. Some people say you need to "give till it hurts." Don't you believe it. God doesn't want gifts given in pain. He wants gifts given in joy! In fact, those are the only kinds of gifts that please Him. (copied)

than believe for nothing and get it all - JM 2007
