For friends, family, acquaintances in Utah, here's a special invitation to enjoy dinner one of the upcoming Monday nights (tonight included) at the Foothill Village location of COSTA VIDA!
Up to 20% of the proceeds the restaurant receives on these nights will go to benefit Families Helping Families. This is the organization with whom our family has built single-family homes in Puerto Penasco, Mexico, during the Christmas holiday. We are going again this year, and your support would be most welcome!

Awesome country song lyrics...
No, they have nothing to do with a dog dying, a truck breaking down, or a break up. Quite the contrary, actually...
Love Like Crazy
Written by Doug Johnson and Tim James
Performed by Lee Brice
They called them crazy when they started out.
Said, “Seventeen's too young to know what loves about.”
They've been together fifty-eight years now,
That’s crazy!
He brought home sixty-seven bucks a week.
He bought a little 2 bedroom house on Maple Street,
Where she blessed him with six more mouths to feed;
Yeah, that’s crazy!
Just ask him how he did it; he'll say pull up a seat.
“It'll only take a minute, to tell you everything.
Be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse ‘I Love You;’
Go to work, do your best, don't outsmart your common sense,
Never let your prayin' knees get lazy,
And love like crazy.”
They called him crazy when he quit his job.
Said, “Them home computers, boy, they'll never take off.”
He sold his one man shop to Microsoft.
They paid like crazy!
Just ask him how he made it;
He'll tell you, “Faith and sweat,”
And the heart of a faithful woman,
Who never let him forget
Be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse ‘I Love You;’
Go to work, do your best, don't outsmart your common sense,
Never let your prayin' knees get lazy,
And love like crazy,
Always treat your woman like a lady,
Never get to old to call her baby,
Never let your prayin’ knees get lazy,
And love like crazy!
They called him crazy when they started out;
They've been together fifty-eight years now.
Ain’t that crazy?

In for a HOT weekend...
YIKES!!! This clip of the forecast from my iGoogle page says it all:
Funny, the last time I posted in here, we were dealing with Nor'easters and unprecedented snow... now it is "hottest summer on record" in Virginia's 400+ year history. Sounds like we got here just in time!
Update 48 hours later...

Just add snow...
... and take away the holiday, and the marquis sign changes. I wonder how many Harley's they sell with this marketing ploy? Likely not many, but I'm always curious to see what the sign says when we drive in to Lititz! :)

Whoa... cool! Watch this vid.
You have to watch it all the way through. If you only watch the first half, you'll be scratching your head thinking WHAT?? It's called "2 sides to every story," and you'll understand why by the end of it. Some people are so creative!

This quote impressed me today. We have been trying to make some big decisions related to buying a home here in Richmond, and I realized as I read this that I too often allow fear a place in my psyche. Read the quote; and if you have good advice about how you have been able to successfully fend off fear, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
"The inspiring influence of the Holy Spirit can be overcome or masked by strong emotions, such as anger, hate, passion, fear, or pride. When such influences are present, it is like trying to savor the delicate flavor of a grape while eating a jalapeƱo pepper. Both flavors are present, but one completely overpowers the other. In like manner, strong emotions overcome the delicate promptings of the Holy Spirit."
