After driving for over seven hours, we are stopped in a
mile-long jam, a half-hour short of home. I am thankful we’d made a bathroom
stop not long before. And I am especially thankful that the sirens squeezing by
on the shoulder of these three lanes of trucks and cars are not coming for me.
I send up a prayer for whoever is the object of this commotion and settle in
for the wait.

So for today...enjoy, worship and be blessed

I know, it’s a writer thing, and I am thankful that’s the
extent of my dilemmas this morning, but here’s why it means so much to me.
I can easily be an info addict, a glutton for useless
information, enamored by the sound of an idea, lured into learning about all
