Not the Sharpest Tool in the Shed.

A friend of mine, Amy Phelps, just posted on facebook:

I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but at least I'm in the shed.

Man, that's comfort for me today.

If you need me, I'll be in the shed.

From Ten to forty-Six

Today ten years ago Joe proposed to me by the pond in the BYU
sculpture garden, surrounded by snow and Christmas lights—a romantic
gesture for a mostly practical guy. I love you Joe! also,
congratulations to my parents who are having their forty-sixth wedding
anniversary today. Your example inspires me. Thank you.

Life in a Fallen world

Joe had a traumatic experience in the hospital the week before
Thanksgiving. Of course we have our own thirteen month old, so this
really hit home. This kind of experience is likely to stick with a
person for life and i don't envy Joe the image that has been burned in
his brain. Thankful that we have God in Heaven to put all things right
in due time.

Last week I did CPR on a 13 month old girl who went into abrupt
cardiac arrest in the pediatric ED at Santa Rosa. They called it after
20 minutes of no heart activity--and when the kiddo started bleeding
out because of acidemic shock. It looked like it was likely child
abuse. I'm having a hard time getting over it, but it has made me
really appreciate the time I have with my healthy little girls.

Cherish the moments.

Joe
