I had nearly my whole page written when I noticed some of the birthday pieces stuck in a keyboard key.  I fiddled to remove them and noticed that it was the 'delete' key just as it deleted what I had done!  What I wrote was really good.  Questions about our time and what is going on throughout the world and what part the Lord is playing in it all.  I admitted my inability to grasp it all and the effect on my heart when I realize that all of this is happening to my 'family'.  Just my immediate family has enough drama to overwhelm me let alone those on the East coast and in other places in the world.  It makes you want to close it all out, but Sheila and I decided a long time ago to not do that.  Let it hurt when it hurts so that it can rejoice too.  It will be worth it in the long run, and yes, quite painful in the short run!  

Loved reliving my birthday in Disneyland with family.  Look forward to living with you-all as that happens in coming days.  Until then always remember that today is also a part of our eternity!
