Weekly Gratitude

I am grateful this week for ...

• Marrying into a tight-knit extended family.  
• Sirius radio. My rental car came with it and I am loving the oldies!
• God showering our yards with rain! Our plants crave rain water.
• A job that I can leave at work. Home is home, not work.
• Trial and error. If at first you don't succeed, try and try again.

I acknowledge that I take these things for granted each and every day and am fully aware that there are many people in this world that do not share my same gratitudes from which God has given me happiness. What are you grateful for today? Much, I am sure!

A little news, a little observation

Not sure if everyone heard about the hostage situation that happened today at the Discovery Channel headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland, so I thought I would bring it to your attention. An armed man, James Jay Lee, entered the building, firing shots, and has taken hostages. You can read more about the story at here .

While reading this story I came to this realization: Never trust a man with three names.

John Wilkes Booth
Mark David Chapman
Lee Harvey Oswald
James Earl Ray
John Wayne Gacy
James Jay Lee

Interesting right?
