Middle of June???

Where has the time been going??  I'm on my third week of break, and it feels like the days are speeding by.  Oh boy.  The weather has been sooo hot...then this weekend a nice storm moved through and cooled us down a little.  It's lovely...  I still can't wait to go to Oregon though... Although my hubby says what's the point of going to the beach if we aren't getting in the water??  lol   Just wait till he sticks his toes in that body of water...ugh!!
Anyway - realized I hadn't posted in a week or so, and figured I'd better get my fingers moving and my brain engaged.  Some days it seems to not want to work, lol.  My brain likes to be a sleep - but I'm working on it.

There's a couple of things to celebrate today...and then I want to talk about a movie we rented over the weekend...  :)

Autistic Pride Day -  we have an autistic son...(I think perhaps two - but that's another issue) and he tries sooo hard to do whats right.  He's a wonderful man, and a real example to all of us how to DO what the Lord tells us.  He started waving and saying hi to everyone he sees about two months or so ago...and he actually had someone pull over and threaten him for doing it.  Why would someone do that???  Anyway...I'm proud of my son.  I don't know why we were blessed with him, but I'm so thankful.  Autism is a strange thing...and varies from individual to individual.  I would never ask for anyone to have to deal with it...but I'm also thankful for the blessing of the man in our life who has it.

International Sushi Day -  Sushi!!  my favorite stuff other than pizza and chocolate, lol.  My daughter introduced us to sushi a couple of years ago, and while I don't like the sushimi type stuff (raw fish) I do love the sushi stuff - especially the spring roll with all veggies!!  YUM.  So...go celebrate the yumminess that is a BIG mouthful, lol.

National Splurge Day - and this is a cool day - I didn't know there was a splurge day.  I think that it would be an excuse for most women to grab the credit card.  I'm suggesting if you have a couple of extra bucks, go buy something!  lol   Don't go into debt for it though...  😇

So...onto the movie I mentioned.  We watched Only Imagine Friday, and while I had wanted to watch it before, we just hadn't gotten around to it.  My daughter brought it home, and oh my!!

If you get a chance to watch this, you need to.  It has some wonderful singing in it, the new actor who plays the part of Bart from MercyMe has an amazing voice!!!  It is not a light fluff movie either.  It's deep and covers serious issues...but it ends SO amazing...and awesome.  We loved it.
a humorous clip...


Official music video...


I remember when this song first hit the radio (that I remember anyway).  We had started a pizza store back in 2002 and this song came on sometime between then and 2004 (when it closed....)  I thought it was so awesome that they were playing a religious song!  and it just spoke to my heart.  I hope it speaks to yours...
Have a wonderful day.  :)
