Yesterday we hung sheet rock at Otis's house. And we taped and mudded. Last night the entire group went into the quarter and ate dinner at a very nice seafood restaurant. As I said yesterday, this is a good group of folks. There is still much to do in New Orleans.
This morning we are watching the news. Flooding along the Mississippi. Everyone is concerned. Join me and pray for those being affected by the rising waters.
Also on the news, we saw some of the tribute to Tim Russert. Regardless of what you may have thought of his politics, he was certainly an enjoyable, friendly, loving man. His untimely death at the age of 58 is a reminder to all of us again of the brevity of life. Luke Russert, his 18 [approx] year old son, referred to his father as "a force of nature." That reminded me of one of my favorite quotes.
"This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap… and being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievance, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy." George Bernard Shaw
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
