Snow and rest

Brittany was supposed to compete in our regional Solo and Ensemble competition today, but because of the snow, it was cancelled. I’m curious as to what will be done about it because the kids with high scores would have gone on to compete at the state level. The other 8th grade boy’s team (not Trevor’s team) traveled 3 hours to a tournament in Minnesota. They got there and the tournament was cancelled. We got about 8 or perhaps 10 inches of snow here and we’re supposed to get another 4 to 6 tonight and tomorrow.

Rest on this Earth is a false rest. Be careful of people who urge you to find happiness here; you wont find it. There are those who think they find it, but it usually never holds their attention for long. Guard against those who promise that joy is only a diet…a marriage…a job…a million dollars away. Try this, imagine a perfect world. Whatever that personally means to you, imagine it. If that means peace, then imagine complete tranquility. Does your perfect world imply joy? Then create your highest happiness in your mind. How about love? If your perfect world has it, ponder a place where love knows no bounds. Now, let your imagination run absolutely wild and try to imagine what heaven is like. Take a moment and get it firmly in your mind…and then smile as the Father reminds all of us in 1 Corinthians 2:9 - No one has ever imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him. When it comes to describing heaven, even letting our imaginations run wild thinking about it, we are all happy failures!

For the love of Amy - V

AMEN VINCE, DO WE REALLY KNOW WHAT HEAVEN WILL BE LIKE? WE HAVE FAITH IN GOD THAT HE HAS PROMISED US PEACE AND REST FOR THE WEARY. AND THIS IS OUR PROMISED SALVATION. QND WHAT A JOY IT IS TO KNOW AND BELEIVE IT. PLEASE PRAY FOR UNCLE HOMER, AS HE IS ILL. LOVE AND GODS BLESSINGS, YOUR COUSIN IN PHOENIX.
