Another start to a busy week. The temperature was actually quite cool by comparison to the last couple of weeks. I even took a sweater into work today, and needed it too!
This evening I headed over to Mom & Dad's house for dinner and to give Mom a needed perm. Carla even got to go too.
When we got there the first thing that we saw was a juvenile tufted titmouse at the foot of the front steps. I did get this great shot of him sitting on the wisteria in the front yard.
Mom's perm came out wonderfully. She's all curled for another 4 or 5 months.
Afterwards I headed over to visit with Steve Holt's house to help him out with a little computer problem. We're also working together to get his book of poetry republished. I even get to put in a few illustrations here and there.

One rainy afternoon I was driving! along one of the main streets of town, taking those extra precautions necessary when the roads are wet and slick.
Suddenly my daughter, Aspen , spoke up from her relaxed position in her seat. "Dad, I'm thinking of something."
This announcement usually meant she had been pondering some fact for a while, and was now ready to expound all that her six-year-old mind had discovered. I was eager to hear.
"What are you thinking?" I asked.
"The rain!" she began, "is like sin, and the windshield wipers are like God wiping our sins away."
After the chill bumps raced up my arms I was able to respond. "That's really good, Aspen."
Then my curiosity broke in. How far would this little girl take this revelation? So I asked...
"Do you notice how the rain keeps on coming? What does that tell you?"
Aspen didn't hesitate one moment with her answer: "We keep on sinning, and God just keeps on forgiving us."
I will always remember this whenever I turn my wipers on.
In order to see the Rainbow, you must first endure some Rain.
If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.
