I got an early txt from Autmn that she needed to run to the store for Cameron’s food. Since she is at her mom’s – right up the road – I could take her over quick and be back in time to get the day started. All things considered, I wanted to be at Our Lady of Grace church early as I knew there would be a lot of people. And there was.

I saw this morning on facebook that Kelly Smail posted a happy birthday to Taylor. Today is her 30th birthday. Not a nice birthday present for her.

The service was a Catholic mass and was about an hour and a half. The priest had a really good message and one thing stood out. God sets the limits of life and calls us to Him – it’s not us who set our time on earth. We must be prepared, for we don’t know the day. Don’t take any day or experience for granted. You do not expect the Lord’s return or His call to take us home. Be vigilant. Just like driving – put your life in forward (drive); don’t go in reverse. God has good things for you. To us, Mark is dead, but to the Lord and to Heaven he is gloriously alive. From this point on, everyone must move forward to build their lives in a new direction.

On the way home I stopped at Lowe’s – I was looking for a mini-size can of WD-40, which I did find. I had several sticky doors that are now working just fine.

Kelly sent me a picture of Matt’s new TURF BOYS mowing team member. I think he handles the fertilizer…

When I went up for the mail I noticed a big white cross in the middle of the road in front of my house. I’m sure this means I’m marked as one of the redeemed!

I forgot to mention that on Wednesday Nate and Jen took Christina for a tour of the Point Park University campus. Chrissy loved it – Jen is already nervous about leaving Chrissy in the middle of down town Pittsburgh! Chrissy is just plain excited….

Looks like the bottoms were just sliced off level!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

TRIVIA – answer for yesterday: 1933. Today’s trivia is: The average adult human’s blood vessels are long enough to wrap around the Earth more than two time. That is a lot of vessels!

PEANUTS Thought for the day:
