Coming back...

Hi

Don't know if there's any of you left out there... it's been so long that I've stopped blogging...

Now that things have changed in my life... I am free to speak my thoughts again, clearly, unabashedly....

So.. come along with me again.. whoever is out there :)

You raise me up...

This is blood :o)... Way to go!

Children are God's gifts to us..

in order to teach us how to be better people.

But some of us abuse these gifts... and forget the reason why they're given to us to watch over in the first place...

I kid you not...

Coincidence?

Today.. I could have been in mourning.

You see, my son almost broke his neck last night; I am still totally shaken by it.

I was sitting on my couch last night, and my son, M, was crying. The boy came over to my right, from the back, and put his head on the seat and kicked. So hard that his whole body went up in the air. The only problem was that his chin was still on the seat.

I can still see this in slow motion. His neck slowly extending itself into a position it was never meant to be in, while his body and legs continue on their upward and over trajectory. I was frozen in place.

The next thing I knew, I instinctively gave him a hard push. He landed with a thud... and cried even harder. I did the only thing I could... I spanked him... and hugged him. My tears were on the brink.

Last night, when my little baby was fast asleep; I prayed over him, and thanked God. For putting me where I was. For giving me reflexes I never knew I had.

Was it a coincidence I was there when it happened?

I think not.

I Can...

The SJI Military Band... 50 years on...

... more a Concert Band... in military uniform. But one thing I must say... their concert music is GREAT! Interesting quip heard over dinner "They have traditions! It's just that these traditions change every year"
