This Little Light of Mine.....

Wow. I sure wish I could update this daily. It is difficult to find the time. Clyde was out of town last week. Weston has started football. Hannah has started back in 4-H. The other boys will be starting soccer soon, and the fair is next week. It is THE Fair for those who don't know. The Wilson CO. Fair is one of THE things to do in TN. Clyde is on the fair board for the first time this year. We are just busy..... It is hard to remember in the midst of it all the priorities of life. This week I was reminded of them. My friend David, and his wife Krista, who live in Texas have a 10 year old son, Chapman, who was involved in a motor bike accident this week. He will be fine and is going to be released to go home tomorrow. Another "Yeah, God!" moment. Yesterday at practice Weston got knocked around pretty good and received a neck injury at football practice. "Here we go!," I thought. I can only imagine the injuries he will sustain in this sport he loves so much, and there is nothing I can do about it. It reminds me of a scene in Finding Nemo where his dad Marlin tells Dory that he promised Nemo that nothing would ever happen to him. Dory says, "Well, that's a strange thing to promise." Marlin says, "What do you mean?" And Dory replies, "Well, if nothing ever happened to him, then nothing would EVER happen to him....no fun for little Nemo." Hmm....By the way, tomorrow WED. morning on Good Morning America at 7 AM tune in for the interview with Steven C. CHapman and his wife Mary Beth following the loss of their daughter Maria Sue. Bring a tissue or two.
