Eight is Great

I can't believe Faithy is really eight years old. We started this special day having home made Cinnabons for breakfast, then we went to Kids Club at Sonshine Center, then we went to Faithy's favorite, Bigby's, for dinner.

In the movie City Slickers the character played by Billy Crystal on his thirty-ninth birthday says, "Have you ever had that feeling that this is the best I'm gonna do, this is the best I'm ever gonna feel . . . and it ain't that great?"

I posted this earlier, but it bears reposting: The one thing is obedience to God's will. Well, now I am off to the Harley-Davidson dealership here in Iloilo to buy my birthday gift . . .
