Planning For The Big Day

Jordan is getting very excited about her upcoming birthday. To her, it's the one day that's guaranteed to please her taste buds from start to finish.  She's already reminding me that she would *love* bacon with some pancakes Friday morning.  She always eats the same thing everyday for lunch when she's in school ... shredded Boar's Head Ovengold turkey, slices of green pepper, a Minutemaid Pink Lemonade cooler and Asteroid cheese puffs; she hasn't decided if she'll change that up yet. Dinner is still being discussed since it will depend whether her friends can see the movie on Friday or Saturday.


Which reminds me -- the movie. After many months of waiting for its premiere, the movie "Alpha And Omega" opens on Jordan's birthday. Very apropos. For those of you who don't already know, Jordan is a lover of wolves and has been for almost half her life.  Lol!  I really think in her mind, she's actually one of them.  But that whole story is for another time.


Here's the trailer for "Alpha And Omega":





With all that said, I'm heading to bed a little earlier tonight with a huge prayer in my heart; not just for Jordan but for everyone. And especially 9 years after 9-11 ... it's a prayer about friendship, peace and love. And a verse on my mind:

"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God."
