EDJ #7

09:11 Good morning folks.  I slowed down a bit this morning and it felt good.  Usually on the days that my wife drops Amy off and I’m heading into the office, I like to get right out the door and pick up coffee on the way.  Today I decided to make coffee and breakfast at home before I left.  This provided many benefits.  The obvious one is it saves money (which is a good thing with gas prices as they are).  But the biggest benefit was being able to spend time with Amy helping her get breakfast and sitting down at the kitchen table with her.  Right before my eyes she is growing up.  She’s in first grade and loves it.  It’s such a joy to see how excited she is about learning all these new things.  I love talking with her about everything she’s doing in school as well as what’s going on in the world.  Her prayers last night just brought tears to my eyes when she prayed for the families and animals effected by the ‘big hurricane’.  She also prayed that our city be spared a visit of a hurricane like that in the future. Kids prayers are the best.
