Reason #3 – Grace

examROAR — Sat, 25 Dec 2010 04:22:07 +0000

Not long ago I caused a car crash. It was a rough year for me. I already been in another car accident and had two other tickets and lost my license. I was overworked and stressed out and on the edge. When I pulled out in front of a truck and it took the front of our new car off, I was devastated. My first thoughts were of her and how I had let her down again. I called her and to my surprise she told me it was going to be OK. The accident was right in front of my house and she hurried out to see me. I went on and on about what a fool I was and what this would mean but she put her hand on my arm and said, “You know what, it’s going to be OK. We’ll get through this.” I was on the edge that day and her grace kept me from falling apart. Her grace is gift of God and I’ve learned much about His Love from her.

$149!

examROAR — Fri, 28 May 2010 23:41:07 +0000

I’m overwhelmed by the suggested price for Project Natal. At $149 it will easily become the tech-gadget of choice this Christmas and may join the ranks of Tickle Me Elmo and other “I will wait a month in advance and camp in front of the store– or I’ll knock your mommy down to get to it– or I’ll rip it out of your cold, dead hands” kind of toys.

I’m so excited.
