As you can see, I am without new pictures this week. I do have a picture of a skim of ice on the lake, but oh well! Last year at this time, we had 60 degrees, for two days, and then this week we got ice and six inches of snow. This coming week it will be a year since Logan left for Arcosanti. That just doesn't seem possible. The news with Logan now, is that, he has come full circle. He has seen the importance of the educational system. He is taking his GED and SATS by March 10th. He and Ailsa will go to North Michigan University to start Medical Training this summer. Very happy about his change of mind.
Jordan is taking a real turn for a 14 year old. He presented a new idea to Innovations in Ft. Wayne. They asked him to present to IPFW and he has become a part of that group that meets now. He is the youngest participant. His idea you ask? A type of 50 inch screen for the ability to work on your computer and watch TV.
So, how are you enjoying another spring day in February? Of course, I thought about uncovering the deck furniture. I have to admit I wonder if we are going to have a weird spring and summer.

Moving on, I want to talk about lining up your vision in life with God. Is what you are doing in agreement with God's plan for your life?
Habakkuk 2: 2 NIV
Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it.
Interesting way to say, write down what you are doing and want to do. Are you doing it, or just talking about it? Are you thinking about it, planning it, or is it just sitting there without the motor running?
I sat down and wrote it out. It turned into four pages. I broke it down into small groups of what I was doing with my life's work. I also wrote about my passion for writing. I wrote about the vision of speaking, and what I was all about as a person. Did it line up with God's plan for me? Was I actually doing it for Him, or myself?
When you write, I believe, things come out that you had not even thought about. It is a wonderful exercise to think about who you are and what you do as a child of the King.
Ask Him is it truth that what you are doing is for Him? Search hard for wrong or right motives. I found one wrong one and lifted it in prayer. I am happy to announce that I felt good that I had put a paragraph together that states what I do and want to do which is, help people grow closer to God. To find Him, to reach for Him, and get the victory. Even when some don't do that, I can say I did give them the tools to keep at it (whatever that is) until you know, that you know, that you know. Whether it is in a conversation at Walmart, at the dinner table, in a counseling session, with a friend at lunch, no matter what. . .I have to help people reach their maximum potential. To reach and find God. To be the best they can be. Do yourself a wonderful spiritual time and talk to God about your vision and His for your life.
