I woke this morning to find three of my most favorite, gorgeous females in the world in bed with me. Eat Your heart out!

Black dog was sleeping at my feet, Maple Syrple cuddled in the middle, and Krl made up the other side so there could be a middle. Excellent.

Reluctant as I was, I slipped from bed, did some reading for SS, got a bath, shaved and got dressed for early church and SS. It was a good morning. Torchbearers 'Let Your Light Shine' is the name of the new series MC is beginning.

Right at the end of the early worship I felt someone pushing against me and I turned to find Addie, her mom and her friend coming to sit with me. They had forgotten about the time change! They did stay for SS and then Addie rode home with Dandy. Of course we had to stop at Taco Bell and pick up light lunches. Once we arrived she got settled in her room watching a movie and eating lunch but finally she came into the living room and coerced Meme into calling Kat to come over. Surprisingly everything worked and Trc brought Kat. It was almost comical because when Addie opened the door and it was Kat and Trc, I thought they were going to do that jump and bump chests! Lots of shrill screaming and giggling! Shortly, they were in the pool! They are really a joy to watch!

I am beginning to put two and two together. As most of the Highland family has known, MC spent three weeks this summer in Guatemala. This week I have seen advertisements for "Survivor Guatemala". What are the odds............. Is it possible that .......... Anyhow, we do know he survived E Coli. Inquiring minds want to know.

KB was not in SS this morning. I inquired to his wife about his whereabouts and she simply said it was job related. I wasn't prying. I was just asking and hoping it wasn't food poisoning (since we had eaten breakfast together Friday morning). Class was very unstructured and basically it was agreed to re-discuss this weeks lesson next week.

Some things are finding their way full circle. Some of them are so bizarre it is almost spooky!

Krl and I are kind of excited. We are having RSVP invitations printed for all the grandbabies regarding our Christmas extravaganza. At the present we are scheduling it for March 11-19, 2006 and getting the invites out way ahead of time so the babies can get passports! And that's all I am going to say for now! Going to be a blast! We don't expect to get 100% participation but 100% of the grandbabies on the ground at the time invites are sent will be receiving one!

Well, I have got to get serious about my weekend. It is winding down. The coming week we have lots of possibilities at work. Treks possible include Sweetwater, Hico, Brownwood, and in a perfect world, KO and I would still love to go to South Texas for a quick visit.

Hope your weekend has been good.

FATHER I thank YOU for a blessed weekend. I pray for a blessed week. I thank YOU for Krl and ask for her healing and renewal. I pray for those near and dear who are in need of YOUR gifts of healing. I pray for those hurting from loss. I pray for those of us who struggle to follow YOU. I pray for our spiritual family and for our leaders. I pray for the efforts being made to expand YOUR kingdom. Reign in me!
