Rhema...from a 10-year old!

Our Pastor at church like to use the phrase "There's no such thing as a junior Holy Spirit" when referring to children and their ability to hear from God. Well, our dear, young Scarlett hears from the one and only Holy Spirit often. And today she wrote something in her journal that will stick with me for a long time to come:

"God doesn't care about what we did. He cares about what we do next."

How many times are we faced with temptations that seem so great? What about the words we say that can either encourage or cut down someone around us? Or falling back into the thing that we despise most about our past? It's not what we've done that makes us who we are, it's what we do next (more accurately, Whose footprints our next step will fall into) that give us identity.

Out of the mouths of babes....

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

In not-so-typical Not-So-Classic style, I am going to speak very briefly about a classic film (this one's for you, Beloved...in more ways than one!) Do you remember that classic B&W turned color turned B&W film "The Wizard of Oz" and the scene where Dorothy accidentally throws water on the wicked witch? What does the witch scream? If you know the answer, then you know what many of us are experiencing.

WE'RE MELTING!!!

Last October, the Classic/Not-So-Classic family was incredibly blessed with a house much closer to work and everything else, just in time for the gas-price's ride to the moon. When we looked at and walked through the house to consider buying it, it was nice and cool inside. Well, summer has begun to beat down upon us and we are HOT!

So I am posting today in hopes that some of you may be able to help by recommending a good individual or company who installs central A/C.

I've clicked my "ruby slipper" clad heels together and said "There's no place like home." But right now, there's no place like the library or the grocery store or work or the pool or...

Thanks! Stay COOL.
