Promises, Promises!  The Democrats have just about finished their week, of course the Republican's will answer with theirs.  How many dollars putting on these two conventions?  How much will be spent on all the advertising by all the candidates in all the different races?  I believe in election reform, term limits and spending caps.  It is almost more than I can imagine that people are willing to dig deep for a political race when there is so much domestic need, the homeless and the hungry in our land of plenty.  Factor in the need world wide and I can't help but wonder about our priorities. 

I spent the larger portion of my day with Kathryn.  I told her I had gone by Wednesday to see if she wanted to go to lunch but no vehicles were there.  Today she was intent on eating somewhere.  She called and we made our plans.  When I got there I told her I had a packed afternoon of stuff to do beginning with us going and getting our heads shaved followed by a visit to a tattoo parlor and maybe looking for some body piercing jewelry and somewhere in between maybe we could grab a bite to eat!  The look of awe on this five-year-old's face was priceless!  We ended up going to the barber shop and I got a haircut and then we spent a couple of hours at McDonalds.  Most of her time was spent on and in the play station.  I was surprised how many kids, parents and grandparents were there.  As always it almost took an act of congress to get her to leave.  We made a quick trip by Krl's work and then I dropped off my equipment evaluation at my friends business and then we were headed back to Kat's house.  She didn't want to, she wanted to come to Meme and Dandy's house to help bathe dogs.  She ended up staying with her mother but I didn't get the dogs bathed.  A very good afternoon to say the least! 

FATHER thank you for this day, it was blessed!  Help us to realize that the only promises that are unchanging are YOURS and that YOU are faithful to fulfill YOUR promises.  I continue to ask YOUR blessings on Aimee, Rene', Carol, and Michelle.  Where YOU lead I will follow!
