One of my favorite re-occuring dreams is that I can fly.  I dream that I can fly at least a few times a year ever since I was a young boy and I always wake up totally refreshed.  It's amazing!  There are times that I also dream that I have the ability to jump hundreds of feet into the air at will and without getting exhausted.  That would be pretty cool!!!

Seven years have passed.  Can you believe it?  Where has the time gone?

For me the month of Septemeber has forever been altered in my mind.  September used to bring to mind: cooler days, the end of summer, the beginning of a new school year, but now I can't think of, or even read, the word 'September' without thinking of the events of September 11, 2001. 

The Bible says in Palms 90:12...

Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. 

NIV

The fact is our life is but a breath and seldom do people know when the end is near.  That why it's important to lives our lives every day to glorify God.  As believers we are called to lived holy lives, set apart to serve the LORD all our days.  Just like September 11, 2001 your life could be over in but an instant.  Are you right with God if your next breath was your last?

Last night my son Jesse was lying down on his sister Jessica's lap watching TV.  At one point Jessica started playing with Jesse's hair.  Well as you can see Jesse ended up falling asleep, so of course Jessica thought she would be funny and give Jesse a pigtail.  When I snapped the picture Jesse woke up, but he didn't know what she did until I showed him the picture.  He was a good sport about it and we had a good laugh, just like your laughing now.  A lesson learned!
