WORSHIP SONG:

Overflow (Cover) - Chris Tomlin

5 GRATITUDES (Thank you, Heavenly Papa!):

• Thank you God for Jesus Christ dying on the Cross for my sins (and everyone else's too).
• Thank you God I got all my Thursday work done and I don't have to do it today.
• Thank you God I got to sleep in until 7 am!
• Thank you God for good clean drinking water.
• Thank you God today is Good Friday, a great reminder of what You did for me.

THOUGHTS:

• Sometimes communicating in marriage with the familiarity is a challenge.  Thankfully I don't hang onto stuff and am learning when to just back off with my husband.  We tend to be opposites in some areas and especially when we are driving, he really comments a lot on other people's driving.  It used to stress me out because he had to say something about anyone making a mistake, forgetting that no matter how careful of a driver he is, he still makes mistakes, too.
  
  Yes, a lot of people do some dumb, risky things driving and that is just a part of driving in Phoenix.  Glad I rarely ever get upset, and I just drive defensively and I'm learning to just ignore my husband's remarks here and let him just do his venting here.  That's his way of dealing with it and eventually he'll learn it just takes too much energy to always judge and criticize all these drivers.  That's just really wasted energy, IMHO.
  
  Very grateful God has put His protection on us when others or we do stupid things in driving and other areas of life.
• Our daughter is spending a couple nights at one of her best friend's homes since she is in town for a few days.  We'll give her until Saturday and we may even let her go to church with her family on Easter.  We'll see.  I know our daughter greatly misses her and vice versa, as she lives all the way on the other side of the country and hates NJ.
• So glad to talk to my good friends LW and NR today.  I miss my girlfriends and girlfriend time.
• Was hoping I'd get a workout done today, but that didn't happen.  Tomorrow, I pray.
• During our son's Chess Tournaments and Choir Auditions, our daughter has had to clean the house and do a lot of chores when our son's away.  Now that she is away for a part of the weekend, he has to do all the chores instead of her.  
• Tonight I got to watch "Catching Fire" with my son.  That really is a weird movie, just like Hunger Games.  I don't get the ending.  Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention.  Did Peeta die?  What happened?
• Got to learn and sing Hemorrhage with my husband.  This is easier to sing than Dead or Alive or the Foster the People songs.
