I
awoke this morning and realized I was in bed with an old man! A very scary experience I must say. It is my husbands 50th birthday. I knew that marrying an older guy would one day come back to haunt me but when you are high school Jr. and a College Soph. ask you out, well…how cool is that. I mean how many other high School girls were dating “college men”. So we dated and dated and finally married after my Soph. year of college.
This is definitely one of the blessings of being blind…I will always picture my husband as that very handsome Young man I last saw four and a half years ago with a lot more hair on his head and a lot less hair …well, never mind. Although he is getting older, he is also getting better! Happy 50th Birthday Lee!

Since I’ll be reaching the “old age” mark in a few years myself, I’ve been trying to get this body in shape. I get up at 4:30AM, let the dog out, feed her, do some stretching exercises and wait for my precious friend, Danielle, to pick me up at 5AM, yes, that is in the morning before the rooster’s crow! We take the short drive to her home, tiptoe up the stairs and thru her bedroom where her husband is asleep. Then we head for the inner sanctum which we access by passing through the bathroom and the walk in closet. Finally, we have arrived…the inner sanctum is where the work begins. We start with prayer because, if the truth be known, we really would rather be sleeping. So we ask God to give us the desire to get our bodies, His temples…in shape, so they will be pleasing in His sight and fit for His kingdom work. I can’t reveal too much about my experiences in the inner sanctum…it’s rather like Vegas…what happens in the inner sanctum, stays in the inner sanctum! But if you have a pressing prayer concern, let me know and I’ll carry it into the inner sanctum. You can pray for Danielle and me…because after almost four months, it’s still hard to get up and keep our exercise commitment. I’ll share a real lesson the Lord taught me about that tomorrow! Stay tuned…I’d hate to leave you wondering!
