All Hail the Pizza Tzar!!

Dinner at Pizza Hut Friday night...and the kid's menu had a survey. Here are the questions, and Dendeelyon's answers. Her answers were typical except one....which I thought showed her savvy...

1. If you were stranded on an island forever what would you bring? A Puppy...

2. If you had a Genie who could grant one wish, what would that one wish be? To get a Puppy...

3. If you were President for a day, what would you do? and DandeeLyon says...."Oh Daddy, I'd need a week for that!"

Classic Dabdeelyon.

BIG DAWG!

Ok, so I am at my attorney's office doing some business the other day and decided to take DandeLyon with me. She fell in love with his dog which quite possibly is the largest dog I think I have ever seen in my life. It's name is Eustace and he weighs 160 lbs...and she rode him like a horse.... seriously.

One good thing came from this...she no longer wants a chiwawah...thank God for that.

Adventures in Lynchburg

Another worldwind visit to "The Burg"

I have rented out what DandeeLyon affectionately calls our "Blue House"...mainly because the columns out front are painted...uhm...

TARHEEL BLUE.....

which is really a North Carolinians way of renaming Baby Blue... I on the other hand am a Virginian....and will likely paint them white sometime this summer. ;)

DandeeLyon enjoyed seeing her best friends and after 2 days of solid playtime, she was asleep in the back seat within 2 minutes...

Enjoyed hearing about what God is doing in All Souls Church.. and would like to get back for a Sunday night service sometime in the near future...

Thoughts on a sermon...

So I visited a new church today with DandeeLyon and as usual the message was timely for me..

It basically was the first several verses of Revalation Chapter 4, where John describes the throne of God in Heaven. The throne represents 2 things...one is God's authority and the other is how the throne represents his almighty nature. A third comparison was made with earthly kingdoms and how thrones have come and gone, but God's is forever.

2 thoughts...

1. Allthough health declines ( as mine has lately), relationships change ( as mine have), jobs end ( as mine has), economies go into recession ( which ours is), God is the same yesterday, today, and tommorow. He does not change...and we can rest on that fact.

2. The word "almighty" is used to describe God while on his throne...and is used 47 times in the old testament and 31 of those times are in the Book of Job. I think this is not a coincidence as Job went through all sorts of calamity...and his faith remained in God. God is faithful...and he can be trusted to deal with these situations. Good for me to hear...and good for me to teach to DandeeLyon as well.

Sushi and a famous Dog

A buddy, DandeeLyon, and I go to a place called Akida Japanese on N. Robinson St. As we parked, we walk past this guy and his white dog. DandeeLyon off course pets the dog first, then asked if it was friendly...and a conversation ensues.

The dog is Max, and the owner, Barry. Barry owns a restaraunt called The White Dog, which as it turns out I have been to several times with friends...it's a great place and has won many awards....and DandeeLyon was petting Max, the white dog who inspired it all.

Afterwards DandeeLyon sampled some of the best sushi in Richmond ( and loved it) Yessss!

Upon visiting http://www.thewhitedog.com/, DandeeLyon emailed Max to thank him for letting her pet him..(yes he has an email address)

Great Night!
