Back from a great "mini" vacation to Columbus. The weather was perfect and everything went well. The zoo was beautiful--so much to see. The trip to Easton ended too quickly--lots of stores to check out--there is always next time. It was great to see how well Mark is doing and I enjoyed visiting with the people from the community.

Went back to work today rested and anticipating a full workload.

One of my readings for the day:

A Good Heart, But...
By Max Lucado

(Scene-Sunday A.M. assembly; silent prayer)

Max: God, I want to do great things.

God: You do?

Max: You bet! I want to teach millions! I want to fill the Rose Bowl! I want all
of the world to know your saving power! I dream of the day-

God: That's great, Max. In fact, I can use you today after church.

Max: Super! How about some radio and TV work or ... or ... or an engagement to
speak to Congress?

God: Well, that's not exactly what I had in mind. See that fellow sitting next
to you?

Max: Yes.

God: He needs a ride home.

Max (quietly): What?

God: He needs a ride home. And while you're at it, one of the older ladies
sitting near you is worried about getting a refrigerator moved. Why don't you
drop by this afternoon and-

Max (pleading): But, God, what about the world?

God (smiling): Think about it.


It's the little things in life that are important.
