what's up?

This time last year you were on the countdown for Mona. Picking her, waiting to get her, naming her.

" Age is just a numberrr". I remember your Mom telling me how she has talked with you and your sisters about, though she has the responsibility and joy to be your mother now, in heaven we [you] will all be sisters. I love thinking about how this is REAL. We have a huge "party" to look forward to...heaven. I am really going to know you there, and have eternity to get to know you, and myself, and Jesus...with perfect love for each other.

Yeah, "lame" seems to go with the belly button. Haaa ~ But it is interesting how age groups, alive through certain influences, together, will have some certain tendencies. I think my age group, at your age, thought we were God's gift to humanity. We were the best, and we were going to fix it all. Well, my age group is now the one with most of the power, politics and stuff like that. Interesting, because we were the anti-establishment, don't trust anybody over 30, generation gap, Vietnam war raging...assasinations and fairytales all at the same time. Laugh-In [ever see that? it was the really "HIP" ~ oh yes, I did say that...talk about being groOVy!!] I'm an old hippie Only I don't have a beard. hehehe

I heard someone say "we are always in God's waiting room". I thought that was profound. Life is always a process of learning to wait on Him to show us the way and give us the strength, in the now. Paradox, waiting room, but also that the "waiting room" is now. Not the "when then" place that keeps us out of NOW. Like God says, His name is "I AM, ~ A M = PRESENT TENSE."

He is always *here*

Don't feel like it is an assignment or anything, but if you feel like explaining to me how you see your age group, I'd find that interesting.
