DINNER ON THE RIVER WITH GOOD FRIENDS!

 Tony's acting goofy behind our friends

 Great dinner, great night

and we only had to wait 1.5 hours!

BROOKE'S NEW VENTURE - PARTAAAY!

 SHE'S A PARTY GIRL!

 THE LIFE OF THE PARTY!

 AND TO THINK....

 AND IT ALL STARTED WITH THE SPEECH BUBBLE

 I ALWAYS KNEW HER FUN SPIRIT WOULD TURN INTO SOMETHING GREAT

NIGHT ON THE TOWN

 Tony and I had an over-night date in Birmingham.  The Historical Redmont Hotel

 The rooftop had a lounge with a view! (Yes, that's the moon)

 We walked to Cafe Dumont for dinner - that's what I love about a city, walking everywhere

And breakfast was at Urban Standard - very cool!

THE GROUNDHOG CAME OUT EARLIER THIS MONTH, AND NOW WE ARE GETTING OUT THERE TOO!

WELCOME BENTLEY WYATT HOWELL!

 My Sissy, Sherri's first grandbaby

Mom broke her arm, and got a blue cast in his honor

Poor mom, pray for her

SNOW MAKES EVEN THE ROUGHEST TERRAIN LOOK BEAUTIFUL

 HERE'S WHAT WE WISH FOR IN THE SOUTH

 BUT HERE'S WHAT WE USUALLY GET.  JUST A COUPLE OF INCHES

IT SNOWED OFF AND ON ALL NIGHT LAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT, SO WHEN I GOT OFF AT 7 AM, I RODE AROUND TOWN AND TOOK SOME PICTURES.  SOME OF THESE PLACES ARE NOT ATTRACTIVE AT ALL - UNLESS IT'S COVERED BY SNOW.  IT MAKES EVERYTHING MORE BEAUTIFUL.  

IT REMINDS ME OF WHEN WE ARE GETTING OUR PATIENTS READY FOR A VISITOR.  I ALWAYS THINK AS WE ARE CLEANING PATIENTS UP, DRESSING THEIR WOUNDS AND THEN COVERING THEM WITH A WHITE SHEET, "MAN, THIS WHITE SHEET MAKES THIS HORRIBLE SITUATION LOOK SO MUCH BETTER.  I OFTEN SAY AS WE ARE PUTTING ON THE FINISHING TOUCHES, "THIS WHITE SHEET COVERS A MULTITUDE OF SINS."

MY WORK SHENANIGANS ARE A CRUDE ILLUSTRATION OF THIS:

"COME, LET US REASON TOGETHER, THOUGH YOUR SINS ARE LIKE SCARLET, THEY SHALL BE AS WHITE AS SNOW.  THOUGH THEY ARE LIKE SCARLET, THEY WILL BE LIKE WOOL" ISAIAH 1:18

WHEN GOD LOOKS AT US, THE BLOOD OF JESUS COVERS ALL THE GROSSNESS, AND WE LOOK WHITE AS SNOW!  VERY EXCITING STUFF!!!
