"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.

I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.

I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.

I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.

I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.

I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Wilderness Friends

We got home last weekend and it was -30 C and there were 3 deer hudled under the tree by our apartment trying to keep warm. I felt so bad for them so I threw some cheerios and bread out to feed them. BIG MISTAKE because deer obviously communicate. The next day the same deer waited by my gate for some more food and I gave them some carrots and apples (which they devoured). Every day since, they have shown up to our gate begging for food, only they have recruited friends and the other night there were 7 deer waiting outside for scraps. Time to go to the feed store before they eat us out of house and home! They are too adorable to resist, especially becuase they bring the babies.

Don't you remember the story of my husband Steve being attacked by a deer? These are dangerous animals we're talking about! They might literally "eat you" out of house and home. :); December 22, 2009 at 11:20 AM
