During Mass yesterday morning the visiting priest, a diehard
Carolina Panther fan, was certain to offer up several prayers for a Sunday afternoon
victory. On our way to the game I said to Munchie Boy that I didn’t think it
mattered to God who wins or loses a game and that prayers for such are most
likely pointless. (Although I've been known to mutter a "Oh, please, God, oh please, oh please" a time or two myself) My son then protested that he prays for the Panthers to win
all the time. I told him I was just trying to make a point and that his prayers couldn't hurt!
Long story short…we lost the game to the Atlanta Falcons
23-31 (after being ahead 23-7 at the end of the 1st half). On our way back to our car, Munchie looks to me and says, “Mom...I don’t
think God is a Panther’s fan!”
My dreams of battling Evil continue. However, they have recently taken
an interesting turn. A recurring theme in my dreams is the ability to hover and
glide a foot off the floor. In my most recent dream my hovering morphed into
flying! It was such a pleasure to soar above the tree lines and rooftops. This
new ability has made it so much easier to evade and to spy on that dastardly Evil.
Dear Dryer Repair Man,
Thanks to you, we now have clean underwear. Thanks to you,
we’ve been able to spend the entire weekend catching up on 2 ½ weeks worth of
dirty laundry. Thanks to you, the dryer is working overtime and functioning
like new. Thanks to you, we did not have to purchase a major appliance with our
Christmas funds.
I think I love you!
A grateful 5th
Dear Santa,
We must have been awfully good this past year for you to
take the time out of your busy schedule to visit us and our neighbors! What a
treat!
Merrily yours,
The 5th on your list!

Dear Charlotte Children's Choir,
What a joy it has been to see Bethany mature and hone her talent through the 7 years she has been a member. It is with a sad and heavy heart that she must take this upcoming semester off. School has to be a priority right now.
Your Holiday concert was a delight. I hope you don't mind me sharing with my blog friends the piece combining the choirs. Beautiful, just beautiful!
Already missing you,
Music lovin' 5th

What a wonderful post, Polly! I so enjoyed reading it.
I used to have that flying dream a lot. It was always sort of hard for me to get up high. I would hover and then try real hard and get truly launched. What lovely dreams those flying ones are.
=)
