I am still shaking this cold that I have had for weeks. Something is weird. Melissa Kirby is suggesting I go see an ENT specialist about my sinuses. Maybe that would give me some relief.

Ella was so cute last night. She was singing parts of "Forever" using a toy microphone. Actually, it was the mic and then it was a toy radish which seemed to work just as well. She can't just sing it--it has to be with the pretend mic and she has to move and sway. "Sing Paaaays, si paaaaayys" So precious!

Maddie informed me last night that there was a scary monster living in her room. I said, "Oh Maddie, you know there's not really a scary monster in there." She replied, "Yes there is! I had to get up last night and hit him with my shoe to make him leave!!"

Then she informed me that there was also a scary monster in the play room upstairs. However, according to Maddie, he's not quite so scary since he is red, purple and orange in color. Apparently, when scary monsters are multi-colored, it just doesn't play well with the scare factor.

Sheryl and I are staying in tonight. I think we're just so thankful not to have a million activities going that we're loving the stillness of just being home together. I'm looking forward to it.

This weekend, our good friend Jana Ross from Otter Creek is marrying Greg Perry--long time Abilene guy. We are so pumped that they are getting married--they just seem so perfect for each other. It was worth the wait for Greg. I'm not giving away anyone's age, but when I was in 7th grade, I played a child role in the ACU Homecoming Musical "Shenandoah" and Greg was one of the leads--at least in his senior year at ACU. He has moved his World Wide Youth Camps office (which many of you are probably familiar with) to Nashville and it will be fun to get to be around Greg again. I am leading worship in their wedding tomorrow--such a joyous occasion for those families and all of us who love them.

Have a great weekend!
