Pause for Chile!

This morning I woke up to the sound of exuberation. As I began my day I was privy to God at work as methodically the Chilean miners were being pulled from the depths of the earth one by one. These gentlemen whom I do not know have been on my mind all day. What faith they must have is what I thought to myself as I got dressed.

My CJ highlight today is her saying, "Bye Bye Da Da" as I arrived at the babysitter's house. She is beginning to utter those words daily. When I hear them I freeze and soak the moment in. Those simple words help me get to work through the hectic traffic I have to face. I am so excited about the feat that I share it with anyone that will listen. I am glad I am scribing this so she will know just how important she is in her Daddy's life. He goes through a lot during a day and having that point to recall does wonders. I will soon have to record it so I can play it whenever I need.

When I came home from work I did manage to let her know I was in. I think she waited until she heard me to lay down and actually sleep for the night. Again, something to add to my catalog of CJ moments that makes Daddy melt. I also am happy that all 33 miners have been rescued. God is all that and some more. Now as the day fades away remember to pray and add someone who you don't know within your prayers. Prayer changes things, people, and situations, even if it is through a small hole in the ground.
