Thoughts for today---

What to write????--I'm not sure I even have a thought for today! My thought????---humm-m-m----???? OK, I think I'm ready.
I'm glad it is Wednesday and I don't have anything too important to do today. ---There, how's that??? I think that is a thought. At least it's a start.
I am glad the sun is shining and the sky is blue and the flowers are blooming and the birds are singing and --- I guess you get my message. It's better than complaining, isn't it. I do too much of that as it is.
Today---I started this morning at the DENTIST office! I had 5 cavities!!! Not one but FIVE! The dentist office is not usually a place you look forward to going, but, if you can believe this, (maybe you can and maybe you can't ) I absolutely love my dentist. He is one of the funniest guys I know. It is hard to keep my mouth open while he works, because he is so busy making me laugh. Dr. Jeff is not what most of us think of when thinking of "the dentist". While he is really excellent at his job, he is also a comedian, a big game hunter (really, he goes to all sorts of places around the world to hunt), good looking, AND he is a wonderful Christian. So even though I don't exactly enjoy drills and large hands in my mouth, it could be much, much worse!
That pretty much covers what I accomplished today so far.I may try to do one or two little worthwhile things before the day is completely over, but, I havn't quite decided.
Keith, (my sweet amd AWSOME twin brother) called us last week and said he was coming to visit us for a couple of days. His sons job as an airline machanic came with family priviledges, so he has been able to fly free the past year or so and do some neat trips. Great while it lasted, but unfortunately is coming to an end since the young man is leaving the country to work for a regional company in Viet Nam! Long way from home, but should be exciting. Whole new culture over there to learn about.
Anyway had a great time with Keith. We visited about old times, religion (lots of differences here. I told him I would continue to pray for him. He took in his gentle good humor, though he says there isn't any reason to pray for him!), his military history (lot's I didn't know about his time overseas), science, math and antiques (he loves antiques, REAL antiques). He is far ahead of me intellectually, but we have a lot of family history in common and since he was so very introverted as a young person it is fun getting re-acquainted with him. I was grateful he was able to come and had a lot of fun poking around the antique shops we went to. Wayne , bless his little heart! (inside joke) ran us around all day Saturday to shops, even though he isn't particularly into antiquing! (He's a good guy, that man of mine.) Keith said he didn't want to overstay his welcome so he's back in Missouri now, probably glad to be back home where he can do as he wishes and not worry 'bout me.
Guess I've had about enough thoughts for one day "Thank You to our wonderful Father!"
