Italia

Twelve years ago yesterday I returned from Italy.  I can hardly believe it has been that long. 

What a great experience it was and one I will never forget.  I regret not learning the language but I hope to rectify that soon.  

I have grown and matured a lot since then.  I continue to think back to those wonderful days and of the wonderful people I met there.  Friends for life, they will be.

Here's to you mia bella Italia.

Thought and Scripture of the Day

• Matthew 18:26

  26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
  
  
  
  
  I haven't had a lot of patience this week and so I thought I would read scriptures about it today.  This one hit me hard and made me ask for forgiveness.  I ask the Lord for so much patience with me but then I don't have it myself with others.  Did that make sense?  I expect it of others but not of me?  That needs to change.
  
  
  Now!
