had in my life. It's silly but I have always named my cars. I know there are some I can't remember. It all started with "I think I can" my old 1984 Ford escort I got when I was 16. I babysat for a year to earn the money for her. "I think I can" was named after the little engine that could book. It lived up to its name. "Red hot" my little hatchback Honda civic was next, then "Sally" my red mustang, "smelly" a very old scary boat of a car, "Catty" a brand new Cadillac I got to drive for a few months, "Jetty or midnight"?? 1992 black VW Jetta, "Cherrie" old Jeep Cherokee, "Sadie" the Saturn, "Cappuccino" 1999 Ford Escort, "Silvie" 2006 new Saturn, "Jeeperz" 2005 Jeep Liberty 4x4 fun, and now "Sweet Angel" my Nissan Sentra.
Gas prices as they are I wasn't surprised to hear that the throwback Geo Metros getting 40 miles to the gallon and becoming popular again. I did the math and I found that I would save about 70 dollars a month in gas with the metro. Although for it to be worth trading the metro for my car it would have to be an even trade or less for the metro. With the demand for Metros going far beyond their blue book value it could be hard to find one. http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/wayoflife/05/20/geo.metro/index.html
"Que sera sera... Whatever will be will be.."
Yesterday I brought my special "chocolate chip crunch" cookies fresh from the oven to Kelly's BBQ.
When she said we were playing croquet I thought of the theme song to the 1989 movie Heather's. Heather's where I first heard Que sera sera. It was a pretty rough and tumble movie with an evil plot and the game croquet was an essential for the girls in the movie. We had fun playing croquet and Holly even managed to shoot hers up onto the chair running away from pax.I was reminded of the rules of croquet and how the "poison" person came into play
. Paxton became poison and pretty much kicked the rest of us out of the game. Lisa had became poison too near the end but Paxton got her too. It's kind of like how sin enters our lives and poisons us. It gets before us and comes back into the game. In the game poison just has to touch your ball and you’re out. I am thankful we have a God who saves us from that poison or we would all be truly "out" of the game.
The g
al from the Bolt Diabetes Center called me today to ask how I was doing. She had asked me if I would come and speak at the center to share how I accomplished all I have. I am not totally there yet but I thought, "I wonder if she will let me share how the power of God in my life allowed me to accomplish losing 140 and achieving a perfect figure skating score for my A1C?" I have always been a big Tara Lipinski fan and for fun it had been my goal to get a perfect score in A1C or better. I was thinking she might screen what I share but I could definitely put it in there.

Song in my Head: God of this city & Que Sera Sera
Verse: Exodus 15:1 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD : "I will sing to the LORD, for he is highly exalted. The horse and its rider he has hurled into the sea. 2 The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him. 3 The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is his name. 13 "In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling. 17 You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of your inheritance— the place, O LORD, you made for your dwelling, the sanctuary, O Lord, your hands established. 18 The LORD will reign for ever and ever.
