Today's Meditation: "I am the firm foundation"* explains that I need to take the focus off of me and my _________, in other words 'it's' not about me. Who I am and who I glorify (make clearer) is an on-going choice. To focus most cameras you need to choose between auto or manual. To get a clearer (more glorifying) image a true photographer will choose manual so they may manipulate the lens intentionally. May I focus my life intentionally on the great I Am so He may be glorified.

Today's Thankfulness:
Peter Frampton & Cheap Trick: It's funny the difference a day makes. Yesterday around lunch time my husband (BTW we celebrated 25 years of marriage 10 days ago!) surprised me with the proposal of us going about 2 hours away to a concert that evening. It was a lot of fun and represents so much of what I'm thankful. When Cheap Trick sang, Wherever You Go, I'll Be With You my husband put his arm around me and yelled, "this is our song!" TRUE, I will follow him wherever he goes both for a short trip or a permanent move, he has proven himself follow worthy over and over (BTW he's a geographer) and, as I eluded in my first thankful post, my appreciation of him is both deep and wide. Peter Frampton's sound took me to some wonderful places last night. His lyrics in Show Me the Way and Ooo Baby I Love Your Way were beyond entertaining, they were spirit filling. The highlight of course Do You Feel Like I Do? was incredible I LOVED IT! Hint the most epic part is just shy of 6 minutes:

Beyond the concert itself I am thankful for the fact that we are in a place in our lives where we can afford, in time and finance, to do something like this. I'm also extremely thankful that my husband thought to propose the idea and that I said yes with no hesitation.
Rain: We've had a lot of it this season and it's easy to not only be concerned about crops and safety but to be just flat out sick of it. I am thankful for rain both for the obvious reasons but also because I love watching it come down. The concert we attended last night was in an open air venue and we began the evening with rain, this was not at all how I would have chosen to start the evening but in general Eddie Rabbitt says it best, "I Love a Rainy Night"

Samsung S5: I got it a little over a year ago and it's my first Smartphone. I love that I carry the internet around with me, this also makes me laugh out loud sometimes. I love that my sister who lives hundreds of miles away chose it as her first as well and that she (ironically?) seeks me for advice about it. I get to post, read posts and keep up with people at almost any location/time. There is a need for balance in our lives, no doubt, but wow this thing is amazing!
