We were planning to go out, but now we think that we will NOT go dancing with tornadoes tonight. We are staying in, and think we should try again next week.
Try again next week.
Isn't it good to be able to try again?
Unless you dance with a tornado, you probably can.

Dis-Place-ia
There is a medical term that sounds kind of like dis-place-ia, even though it is spelled as dysplasia. You medical people know what that is - abnormal development of cells. It may be a warning sign of CANCER on the way. Scary stuff.
Sometimes that word comes into my mind, but referring to the much more mundane condition of being out of place. When I am outside my normal range, I feel out of place. Sometimes I feel out of place even in my normal range, but especially when traveling or when things mess with my schedule.
I have been out of place lately. There have been some good and even great things that have happened, and I am glad that I went where I did, but I am also glad to be back home. I am even glad to get back to work, and start catching up on what accumulated while I was out. I am pretty much a home-body. It doesn't take a lot for me to feel dis-place-ia.
Can I get an Amen?
Well, I am back and there is a lot I like about that. If you have not been where you belong, I hope you will be there at your very next opportunity. This weekend, perhaps?

Seeing the kids
This weekend has provided us a chance to see our children, who are not little kids anymore. Rachel is in college and Seth has graduated. They are out of the house.
{The nest is empty. That is quite a transition. At first the house seemed too quiet. Now, it seems nice and quiet. ;o }
We don't see them a lot, like we did when they lived with us. We do see them when we can, and our relationship is good. That is a sweet thing for parents to be able to say. So we made the run this weekend and visited. It is a five hour drive for us to get to Rachel, and about 1.5 hours for Seth to get there. It is worth it for us to get together for a while.
Do you suppose that God feels that way about His family? Probably like that, but stronger. Worth the trip from heaven to earth, through heck and back, to be able to get together. It is not a "meet you half way" deal at all. He did it all. For me. and you.
Get with Him when you can.
