Last night Mark and I went into Chicago to see Joel Osteen. He is a minister from a very large church in Texas. He's telecast is on every Sunday from his church called Lakewood Church. Mark and I have gained so much from this messanger of God. He is basically a down to earth man who Mark and I both relate to. I have was so humbled to be there. The spirit of God touched me and brought me to tears. There were 17,000 people there for all walks of life...it was an awesome experience that I will never forget. Nor will ever be the same.
I have been so blessed in my life and I need to start being a better person. I get so caught up in the daily grind of life that I forget to stop and smell the Roses, to be happy, to appreciate my life as it is today.
Last night really reminded me to stay calm everyday...everyday to realize that God has a plan for my life. This fast paced world spins so quickly ... we all try to do the best we can. Hopefully that's enough. For me it's not, I must do more. And I will.
I am now going to enjoy my Saturday...it involves chores, but I am happy to be alive, and for that I am grateful.
Have a wonderful day all....love you to ROSE!

Sounds like a wonderful evening. I'm so happy you got to go. I have to remind myself to slow down and be thankful for what i have and quit worring about what i don't.
Hugs, R.C.
I am glad it touched you.
