It's a journal. It's a devotional. It's a record of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor. It's documentation of God's activities in real time. There are good days and bad, happy times and sad... I tell it like it is. This is an unscripted walk along the meandering paths of my mind. My life has never been dull... and I've never known boredom. Read on, you'll see...

I am an ordained minister (I feel called to people, not to the pulpit) and consider my calling to Christ's service my most important role in life.

Girls Week Out

I am in Sandestin, FL with three of my daughters and my youngest granddaughter. We are at the Hilton with the Colorado National Guard paying for the room. Kim is a Lt. Colonel in the Guard and is here for s conference. She came to a similar conference here last year and I joined her then also. This year Tami and Athena are also sharing in this mini-vacation.

The beach is wonderful, and we hope to spend some more time out there tomorrow. Today, Athena and I went to the spa and were pampered royally. She had a facial and I indulged in a "Serenity Massage" that lasted 50 minutes. Ahhhh. Thanks, Kim!!

This evening, they had a "Social" on the expansive deck with lots of great food. The was a rather cool breeze, but the event was quite enjoyable anyway. We were chilly enough to get excited about the hot tub where we spent an hour before retiring to our room.

Athena and I will head back home tomorrow after dinner since she needs to be back at work Thursday morning. The best part of the whole thing has been spending time with my wonderful daughters and Peyton, who could melt any heart.

What a blessing this time has been!
