I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

I WANT SPRING!!!

Last year at this time we planted some flowers! Then, we watched them grow! And grow! And grow! It was so beautiful up here. Everything was green, the flowers were blooming, the birds were chirping. It was gorgeous!! This Year,.... Nothing! It's slightly snowing outside, right now, as I'm typing. I don't think it could possibly ever get colder for this time of year! I want the SUN!!! But.....In a few months, You'll all be wishing you were here! And I'll be the one laughing!

Yeah you're right! When it's 115 degrees here in Las Vegas, I'm coming up to visit, so make room for us!
