To Sum it all up - the day that is...

Brietta did indeed arrive. I was hardly able to see the kids since they came directly to the concert and went home immediately afterwards. Tomorrow is a busy day but in the evening perhaps I will spend some time with them.

Julia Marie played a phenomonal concert. You may think I am biased - maybe. But ask anyone else and they will tell you the same (if they are honest, anyways!)

My honey is the best ever. After playing a concert, helping tear down equipment, with headache in full gear, he went grocery shopping with me - $250 worth of grocery shopping. I am so appreciative. I am not a night person. When it is dark and cold, I just want to be home in bed (so here I sit - go figure!) At any rate, I was blessed to have his company. Good friends are hard to come by. Thank you, Lord, for a good friend.

Two out of three bedrooms were spring cleaned, and a bathroom was as well. Laundry was caught up, and the downstairs vacuumed and dusted. That was pretty good. I'm happy about the progress.

Terri Schiavo passed away. I think it is monumental. Whether or not you feel that Terri should have been kept alive, the questions raised by this case are hightly significant. There is much to consider and much to pray about. For instance, if we are to let the Almighty alone be our sustenance, where does the appropriateness of medical intervention of any sort come into play? Where is that line clearly drawn? If someone denies chemo therapy, is that anything akin to denying themselves food and drink? Can we let them play God with their own lives? On the other hand, are we playing God by providing sustenance to someone unable to do so for themselves? If so, I guess the spoon fed old woman should be left to fend for herself or perish. The wounded soldier who cannot raise the canteen to his lips should go unaided. This is dangerous territory and complicated. I guess for now, I vote to err on the side of life. When does the soul depart? Do you know? I do not. This is indeed profound and involved. Lord, help us.

And now I will head to bed in an attempt to be rested for a busy day tomorrow. He is my portion - forever. Ah, sweet forever!
