August 16, 2015 Sunday #rest#pray#drive/text#Gouda!

Get Fit
Rest - it is a big part of good health.


Get Faith
Nicole and I went to church today.  Pastor Beebe was on vacation and Pastor Hendricks was subbing.  He related his near death experience and how it has increased his desire to work harder for Christ.  HIs mission is the college campuses.  Please pray for his work in this hard to reach ministry to college students.


On this day
2000 -  I picked up Nicole, Maddy and Lauren from basketball practice and Nicole had her temporary license - her permit to drive and she practiced all the time.   It was important, these girls probably spent the most time in her car with her later when she got her license and own car.  It certainly helps when they can transport themselves to practice, games, school etc.  But it is an added worry and added insurance expense.  Nicole, fortunately turned into an excellent driver.  What has your experience been?


1990 - McDonalds opened their first fast food restaurant in Moscow.  Spread the joy!


Parenting
Your child driving a car is an all new experience.  It takes worrying to an all new level, especially in todays world of phone distraction.  I saw a horrific accident on Lakeshore in Grosse Pointe Farms yesterday and, sorry but my first thought was - I bet someone was on the phone.  A Mom in one car was killed her 2 children survived, with non life threatening injuries, the other woman in the other car is in critical condition.  They said they thought she had a medical problem, I wonder if they found her phone.


Come Get These Memories of the Sixties pretty soon you have to buy it.

    Our gang walked the streets a lot back then.  It was nothing to walk from 7 Mile to 6 Mile and back again, but most of our activities were on 6 Mile or McNichols depending on where the street sign was.  We hung out at one of those white porcelain palace hamburger joints that were so popular during those days.  That one was called Gil’s.  We would sit on the red plastic swirly stools at the counter and drink coffee until they kicked us out.  That only happened if real customers came in.  And we fed the jukebox.
