The last time I did Friday's fave five it was kind of fun so I decided to try it again.
1. #1 has to be the comfort I got this week from hearing of the faith of a friend from church who just found out he had a terminal illness. He originally thought he had a year to live - he passed away yesterday. Those closest to him tell of his faith and his love for Jesus right to the end. His death is incredibly sad, but I am finding his faith incredibly encouraging (and also great perspective).
2. It's Friday so that means I don't have to travel away from home tomorrow - well, almost. James and I travel to Tuscaloosa tomorrow for two races, but at least I have some family traveling with me. I'm looking forward to some good, quality car time :)
3. My sweet hubby brought me a surprise home from BJs. He's rewarding me with a new camera when (not if) I lose 10 pounds. He brought a diet book home focused on avocados, something and CHOCOLATE! A very thoughtful guy.
4. CBT asked today if he could have a buzz cut. He knows I hate them, but I thought it was very sweet that he would ask. Not sure what he would have done if I had said not. I am just going to pretend that he would have complied.
5. Speaking of...last, I think we're making progress as parents understanding what makes at least one of our boys tick. Now, just to learn how to deal with that, but hey, baby steps, right?

Which camera?!?!?!?!? I was drooling over Miz Booshay's soon to arrive Nikon D700...
ReplyDeleteSeriously, right? I have already started reading it. I will let you all know how it goes.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the camera goes....yours. It's the 40D, but there is that little issue with the 10 pounds, but at least I have an aid and it includes chocolate!
I'm asking the same question as Brenda: a diet book about chocolate? Yay! Looking forward to hearing you have gotten the camera.
ReplyDeleteA new camera! Yipee!
ReplyDeleteI need a diet book with chocolate. Sounds like my kind of book!
New camera? Aaaahhhh.....just stop eating for a week, weigh in, and then resume regular activities when you have that baby in your hand. Just an idea. :)

On #4--guess you haven't seen my number one boy in awhile... :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd #1--to live is Christ, but to die GAIN. Though I know nothing of your friend nor his testimony, I am encouraged by the fact that he died well, looking ahead to his reward, the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. Yes and amen!
