I feel badly for Cortney.  At least I did for a short time.  But for her to even play in a game like today is so much more then most of us have ever done.  And being an old person like myself I have seen so many games, and yet not hardly a one that did not have a loser and a winner.  I know about hitching your dreams to something that ends up differently then you hope, but after doing that a million times give or take you kinda get used to it.  I guess that the only real game you can't lose is this game of life, family and personal striving to find our Heavenly home.  And that one can only be lost if you chose to lose it.  Just keeping at it is all that is required.  So I say to myself and to Cortney don't sweat the small stuff.

 

As I wrote last night:  work, work and more work.  Taking off time to follow my grand daughter was a treat.  But the work pays the bills and helps keep me sane.  So I just keep going day after day.  But I really do understand the real game that I am in.  And I try each day to make it the 'context' and 'frame of reference' for every thing else that I do.  My focus is on that 'reunion' and I look forward to being there with all of the people that I love.  Every thing else just doesn't matter very much.
