Thank God for my computer calendar.  Really!  I mean that literally.  If it weren’t for my computer calendar and the reminders you can send yourself, I would have missed a meeting this morning at the church office.  I don’t think God would have appreciated that.

Finally, after months of having our flights changed by as little as 2 minutes, we are getting of the ground later this morning.
We’re heading out to Colorado, a place loved by singer John Denver, so I thought the title appropriate.  In fact, on our way through Aspen and Snowmass in a few days, we’ll stop [...]
