There are times when we all wonder why we have done things in our lives.

Times when we wonder why we met someone.

Times when we wonder why people have left our lives.

Times when we wonder what we have to do to change the way our world is moving.

Over the last week, these thoughts have been taking it's time and circulating in our mind

Since moving to Memphis we have certainly had many changes in our life and most for the very best. Still there are things that are missing in our life and things that need changing and we are attempting to find them and change them around.

We were chatting with a friend recently and we mentioned that it felt as if we were in a constant series of tests. Those life tests we all must go through from time to time in our lives.

For the last three years it seems we are taking the SATs over and over and over without a break. Just when we thing the testing has ended and things will smooth out, another test drops in our lap.

Have we gotten stronger over time? Absolutely.

Has this also taken its toll over time? Absolutely.

Will we survive the latest in this series of tests in time? Absolutely.

We have friends who are beginning wonderful journeys, special times in their lives. We watch and listen as they are floating on clouds of joy.

And we smile and are so very happy for this time in their lives.

We have friends who are struggling in their journey now, worse times than anything we have ever been tested on.

And we hold out a hand and hope we can assist them in the steps they are taking during these times.

Time...there's no place to run

Time...and you run to catch up to the sun.

Time...you make of it what you can and hope there is another click of the clock.

Because if there is you have another second to make it right...more time

We are continuing to try and make it right and with the help of our family and friends we know it is possible.

We hope for that next tick of the clock, so we can have the time to share in their joys or to be there to hold out our hand in support.

There are many more ticks left - so much more time, and we will use every tick, every minute, every hour of time to do everything we dream of....to take the time to hold as many hands as we are able...to continue to hope for another tick of the clock after that.

Thanks for taking the time to sit though our thoughts today...
