A little dense sometimes

Our Daily Bread
I read the devotional this morning.  I am a little dense at times.  I didn't get it until I finally remembered today is Memorial Day.  ;-p

Remembering the folks we lost is important on this day (and every day).  We carry a part of them in our minds and hearts wherever we go.  I admit that I still think of my Grandmother almost every day.  She was my closest friend when I was growing up.  We talked and shared so many things.  So much of her personality is ingrained into mine.  I am thankful she was in my life.  I am thankful she is enjoying the afterlife with my grandfather.

That's what it is all about.  The circle of life, just a little different than the Broadway show!  We begin our life in innocence, grow away from God, then spend the rest of our lives moving back towards God with the promise of spending eternity with him if we give our hearts to him.  The circle of life -- getting back to God!

Lord, thank you for the promise of heaven -- both after life and heaven on earth while we live!

Movie Monday (and Memorial Day Monday!)
I took the time to see a movie on Friday since I got off work early.  I saw Men in Black 3.  While many sequels just don't cut it, I thought this one was very good.  It was definitely better then the second MIB.  The premise is that the bad guy went back in time and killed K.  J also went back in time with the intention of saving  K.  There was lots of the usual shoot-em-up and slapstick stuff.  Josh Brolin playing the younger K was a hoot.

I give this one two bear paws.  You will enjoy it if you liked the first one.

I saw the 3D version.  Not really worth the extra money.

Let go, my friends!  God will catch you and hold you in his loving arms!
