drop dead date

clouds without water
carried along by winds
autumn trees without fruit

wandering stars

I like lists....I found this one in the book of Jude. I keep going back to it. Incredible pictures of things in nature that portray futility and aimlessness.

Late this afternoon he received an e-mail from another consulting firm. (Is it a sign?)
To be honest, we don't have a clue

We will wait till God shows us His way.....He will.

In the meantime, I sleep and write thank you notes, and no, I am not kin to Mrs. Futrell, we just always called her "Aunt Louise."
