While I am thinking about it . . a funny (my kind of twisted humor anyway)episode that arose on my trip 2 DC w/ Rue. We were staying on the 10th floor @ the Sheraton National Hotel. My sweetie, her official name being Princess Rennie Rue, is neither a city dog nor is she known for amazing feats of bravado. She is as much of a tender-hearted girl as can be \:\) So anyway she made (as best I can recall) her debut of riding in an elevator on Thursday/Fri , because while I love her to pieces, I sure as heck wasn't about to keel over from taking her up/dn 10 flights of stairs each and every time she had to do her thing. When we made our way up to the room for the first time she was wanting to have no part of the shiny brass compartment with the mechanical doors. But each succesive time(and there were many) we rode the thing, she adapted a little more to it as long as long as her Pop provided some soothing words of encouragement. It was funny to me seeing her get all rubbery legged and slink to the floor of the cab as we made our way up to our posh accomodations.

It just ocurred to me . .the parallel between that episode and the frightening episodes that each and every one of us is having to endure and grin and bear it like my Rue had to. Food for thought.

As we are on the eve of the day of the Lord, listen to what he may be conveying to you. As with all listening, listen for understanding and your heart will be transformed.
