*~You can't always Get What You Want*~

I was racing home last week to see,

of all things, a premiere of a favorite TV Show.

It was a race against the clock,

one in which I was sure to lose.

I was so intent on pressing my gas peddle

closer to the floor with one eye on the passing minutes

on the clock, that I almost missed it....

A georgeous Missouri Sunset.

I immediately went from rushing home

to rushing to the next hill

that would give me a better view.

I had almost missed seeing it,

a beautiful sight that has me still smiling

as I think about it.
I can only say Thank you God for allowing

me this glimpse of your created glory.

*~*

And I think... how many times have I missed

the precious small gifts of life

because my eyes have been focused on something else,

Something bigger or more important in my mind.

When the truth of it is

I have more than I need to make me happy

if I would just slow down and look around me.

~*You can't always get what you need,

but if you try sometimes...

You get what you need*~

Here to you getting just what you need this week!

I acturally dressed up as Mick Jagger one Halloween. All I did was wear some

tight Levis, one of my brother's white tank tees, and I

drew big lips on my face with liner. When I chose this picture

of Mick to use, Mark said, "He looks so human"

Well the picture is dated 1969. I don't think he had his crazy

freak flag flying so high then. But the Rolling stones have given

us some memorable sound bites to our lives.
