My life, my kids, and “The Book of Eli” . . .
I wish I came loaded with a zipper so when I needed two of me I just unzipped and pow there I was…double me. That way I could get so much more done when I needed a boost. Now I think that would be great. Because for the last few days I’ve needed more time. Two of me running around getting things done would have been better really. I have a list that I’m pecking away at and I need to have more of it done by now. Then add to that today I hit a sluggish day and I… get behind more than I was. <SIGH>. Oh well, what’s a girl gonna do right?? Just keep at it. May or may not close the gap tomorrow, it’s my son’s John Mark’s 25th birthday and we’ll all be celebrating that together. I’m so thankful that we can all be together for that occasion. With my kids all growing older that’s becoming a rare treat these days.
Yesterday was fun. Went to get my kids when I was done working, Dan had a skating birthday party, Grace was sleeping over at a girl friends, so that left Cal and Zac. “Well isn’t this convenient,” I mulled around in my head? “Hummmm, “The Book of Eli” is playing and Zac and I still have a movie ticket left over from our Christmas gifts.” The mere suggestion to Zac that we snag this open time frame to go and we were disappearing out the door. Cal hung out with his father till we got back… well, he hung with the computer as he loves the on-line game that he plays with friends through the internet. He barely knew we were gone

Great movie is all I have to say about “The Book of Eli”, it really spoke to me about my mission that I’m on with John Solomon, John Mark, and Frances to get our book, Red Book and Cotton-Journey to True-Freedom, written by John Solomon Sandridge out to the public. This is one powerful book with a life changing message for anyone who reads it. Add to that a terrific and beautiful life story and you have a home run read. Today I’ve given a lot of thought to how the movie effected me and although I’ve been sluggish with getting things accomplished, I’m inspired.
Well, it’s nearly 3 am here and I’ve really got to, “flatten the mattress” as my friend in Aussie says….
Night, Love ya,
