Crying Over The Credits

What is the only stretch of road that never experiences a traffic jam?  The Extra Mile

(....that's not a joke....it's just a Q and A....in case you were looking for the humor in it :)

I have been looking for inspiring ideas to decorate the youth room at our new building, so I have been checking out a lot of signs and logos...I saw this one...it jogged memories of when I wanted to start a band....this was the name of the band I planned :)  That kind-of makes me want to decorate the room with that theme in mind...artistic liberties, right?!

It is always crazy when two unrelated things become related during the day.  Today we took the girls to see Dolphin Tale 2.  Kassi and Savannah are BIG animal lovers, so we knew they would like it.  It really wasn't the movie that got to me even though it was super sweet....it was the two songs at the end of the movie because they went along with what I had been thinking about today.

BEING A PERSON WHO GOES THE EXTRA MILE

SIDE NOTE:  I do cry at movies (quite frequently), but as a rule I try to be done crying before the credits so I can pull myself together before the theater lights come back on...these two songs made me break that rule!

Our stories make us stronger.....there are people we are meant to journey with for an extra mile and there are others that have kept walking with us even when it took them a ways past their initial destination.  

Praise God for those people!
