Not a Bad Day

This is how my day started on Wednesday.

I'm not really sure how it happened other than to say I wasn't paying attention. The quote to replace the three panels is almost $500. I still say it wasn't a bad day.

• My best friend's mom has pancreatic cancer.
• A good high school friend has a new born that is in the NICU because of problems with underdeveloped organs.
• My pastor's father died this week.
• A co-worker's son died this week.
• The father of another good high school friend had a heart attack and almost died.
• A co-worker's daughter, who has run several marathons, is being told she needs back surgery related to her childhood scoliosis - and that she will never run again.

Perspective. I'm getting a lot more of it right now than I care to. If you pray, you might consider saying one for these folks.
