Fate, Destiny, God's Will, Call it what you will...


I've been having these conversations about winning the lottery (our MegaMillions is up to $220 Million or some such obscene amount) and I'm curious about your thoughts: would winning that money ACTUALLY be a blessing? Would it leave you with fewer or more concerns/worries/problems and could it EVER bring you closer to God? I must admit, it sounds great and I do fantasize about how much fun it would be to surprise friends and family with gifts and burning their mortgages for them and paying for some equipment for students, etc., etc. but the more I think about it, I do NOT personally think it would be a blessing. Case in point:
*I don't care who you are or who you THINK you are, but people change.
* I don't care how great you think your friends are, but they will treat you differently, am I right?
* would you REALLY donate a ton of it to worthy causes or would you turn into some figurehead sitting on a throne contemplating who DESERVES a gift from you and who doesn't....

Add more to the list if you want, I'm curious.

Beautiful Springtime



Other than an allergy headache, we have been enjoying this beautiful spring. It's so nice to get out and have some ice cream and run around the park.

Happy Easter!





Grace just got back from the doctor where we found out that the back of her palate has opened up and she now has a hole where there was formerly (a week ago) a back palate and uvula. What they sewed together to make her palate has started to split open from the back. This means another surgery in 3 to 6 months. Lord give me strength, truly.
