Fun Friday - Lighten Up, Huh?

My Nemo 33 blogs were a little heavy I know. My week was not all deep water. The Cypress Project Group #1 was a faith become sight thing at NRHC http://www.northrockhill.com/ . Any time I get to hang out with movement makers Ruppe and McGlohon, I learn new things. Watershed http://www.watershedcharlotte.com/ leadership shared their amazing God story at Cypress this week too . . .

God always manages to humble me with my own lack of control or success. He invites me to swim deep. But there is always something or somebody to celebrate (thanks Bob Logan). Also, there is always something to smile at, like a great Valentine's Day (A Senesi Tradition) with the girls and the grandson.

Abby gave me a chocolate chip cookie moment last week. She had to do a class presentation about Ruth Wakefield. Ruth invented the Chocolate Chip Cookie in 1930, by accident!

Ruth, it seems, ran out of Baker's chocolate, when trying to make some plain old chocolate cookies. In a Nemo 33 panic (those are all relative you know), she broke up a candy bar, expecting to have it melt into the cookie. The candy bar did not melt and the rest is history! You enjoy her accidental discovery as a chocolate chip cookie in 2008. She got free chocolate for life and some big bucks from Nestle for her recipe. Something to celebrate!

Weekends and Holidays . . . Have fun. Look for something to celebrate. Enjoy a cookie on me!

Senesi Celebrations

Abigail Hope turned nine years old Tuesday. I missed it. She was the "sent one" from the Lord. What fun! Abby likes all the things little girls like. Hannah Montana, Disney Channel, her beloved Siamese kitty, Lilly, and special smoothies made by dad. Happy Birthday Abby. God has really big plans for you!

Airman David Mikusek returned home yesterday from tech school in San Antonio. We all missed him so much. Father-in-Law is so proud of the commitment, growth, and discipline of this young man. Father-in-Law is also so happy to have his friend home. We will be playing golf together soon. Cowboys, Saints, Hurricanes, and Vols games will be in our faces. God has really big plans for Airman Mikusek, too.

Great conversations yesterday. Great flights home from Calgary. Neal and I made our journey southward. Home to swim again. People are drowning. I really don't want to forget that. Yes, we need to be in a hurry.
