I cringe whenever he pounds the gas or screeches around corners. We all learn as we go, though--thankfully.

Oh - aren't we all guilty of putting too much emphasis on something we think is "priceless" - when in reality we might be making them an idol in error. Things are just that - even as precious and fine as china - when compared with our husbands or children. Thanks for the gentle reminder - I needed it! :)God Mission Possiblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10816994830182436771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432903033078402293.post-86176943947755970932011-12-06T12:23:05.275-07:002011-12-06T12:23:05.275-07:00I find myself in a rut sometimes, mourning things ...I find myself in a rut sometimes, mourning things that I've lost.
