Today's Gift - 2/28

Sorry guys, ... I got sick a couple days ago ... the wife brought a stomach virus home from work ... just when I got her back on her feet, I got it ... found out later that nearly everyone in her office had had it ... then I felt sorry for those with kids, they had to deal with it all at one time ... 

 

Here's yesterday's:

 

I'm slipping when I begin to dislike the company and conversation of the Program.

There is a reason why a lamb gets separated from a flock. The flock will be eating on a particular pasture and a lamb will take a fancy to graze just off to the edge of the field. So the lamb takes a little nibble of this grass. Then he moves just ever so slightly further from the edge and takes another little nibble, then just a bit further and another nibble.

Each little nibble of grass takes the lamb further and further from the flock. After awhile, having eaten enough grass, the lamb pokes his head up and notices that the flock has left him. B-A-A-A-A-A! The lamb wails. How could his flock have left him?

I will begin slipping when I stop paying attention to my flock. My group will not leave me: I will leave my group. I will leave like the lamb, just one conversation, and one meeting at a time. After awhile I, too, could end up wailing for help just like the little lamb.

The main thing is that you and your wife get better soon.
How beautiful a posting!
