Mash Up!

It's been a tough couple weeks.  It started when I found out that a friend from highschool had passed away, he was only 37.  Then ten days later another highschool friend was gone  and in the same day I found out a third highschool friend is very likely terminally ill.  All three men have children. 
It really made me take stock of my life.  Question what is really important.  Before this I was pretty sure I had my priorities straight but now I am making some adjustments.
Good-bye to two good men, Bryce and Vince.  Get well J.  Please.

On a lighter note...when I was just a kid (probably 6 or 7)  I snuck downstaris to watch tv after my parents had gone to bed.  I had to watch what ever channel had been on last as turning the antennae to get another station surly would have woken up y mom and dad. On came this awesome musical and I was hooked.  I sat there in the middle of the night unable to take my eyes off the tube (tv's really had tubes back then)  I remembered that movie for the last 30 years, never being able to find it again.  I can remember bits of the songs  and the warm fuzzy feeling it gave me.

My husband is watching the Grey Cup tonight and I decided to retreat to my bedroom with my laptop and my Netflix subscription.  There I sat searching for the right movie...one that would drown out the announcer, the cheering of my husband and sons and the impromptu nerf football games that were destined to erupt on commercial breaks.  A tall order for any movie.  I wanted something happy so I went to the musicals...I usually sing along to the songs so I figured if the footballers were loud well  I could sing louder! 

I came across that musical from a late night 30 years ago.  I didn't really figure out it's message back then but I sat there tonight, not singing a word and not hearing the revalry from the next room.  I was focused on His message.  My all time favorite movie written about my all time favorite person.  The message was the gospel of Matthew in the movie "Godspell"  I got that warm feeling back from 30 years ago but this time it wasn't just the music.  It was the knowledge of what God did in sending His son to die on the cross, all that he has to teach us  and the wonderful things that are still gonna happen.

G'night folks

My First Time. G rated!

I am definately new to Blogging.  I have friends who blog and their words are elegant, their thoughts refined.  Mine won't be, but if you know me at all, you know you'll read what I am thinking, no holds barred.

I have been described as a bull in a china shop, I've been told I can be harsh.  I'm sorry.  I really do try not to offend and my opinion may be different from yours.  That's ok.  There is no rule that says we have to have the same opinion and if we don't...well I am pretty sure the sun will still rise in the morning and set at night.  Lives will not be lost and I will continue to be your friend.

There is going to be no specific theme to this blog except for the day to day ramblings of my increasingly scattered mind.  It may contain the conversations I have with myself (yes they are 2 sided and out loud, but I usually win any arguments that occur).  It may be whatever happend to be forefront in my life that day/hour or minute moment of time.

So if you can put up with me, I hope you will read what I write, when I can write (I'm a mom of 4 so I'll be here when I can).
