"Five-Times-Two" on Friday

The title is a face-saving device to avoid admitting I am extremely late with "Ten on Tuesday". Ahem.

I am thankful for:

1. Sages, who have spent their lives drinking deeply of the Lord and are eager to share their wisdom.

2. Silly people who love to laugh. (These two categories overlap more than you would think!)

3. My mom's blazing fireplace and our visit with my parents.

4. Getting to attend R.C. Sproul's church.

5. Our lesson in discernment as we listened to President-elect Obama's speech.

6. God's faithfulness, as I look back at what He has done in our lives.

7. Those 5-year-olds. Oh, my!

8. Roller coasters.

9. Crushing love for a hurting friend and such an urgent desire to pray -- which I know can only come from God.

10. God's own dear presence to cheer and to guide.
