Balance

When was the last time you had a really good cry?
For me it was last fall when I rented the Passion of the Christ. As a new Christian I felt obligated to see it again, in the privacy of my own home and with a pair of fresh eyes. When I got ready for bed, I knelt down to pray and cried "the ugly cry." It was as if the noise was coming from somewhere else. I asked for forgiveness for all of my past sins and tried to list them aloud from memory. I also asked for forgiveness for present and future sins. It was granted to me.

When was the last time you laughed until it hurt; or at least until your tummy felt like you just did about 50 crunches?
As for me it was when my baby sister who loves to bake cakes (but hasn't started her business yet), made a cake and took it to a restaurant for a family event. She asked the owner if he could keep it in the back as a favor. When they were ready to eat it, he brought it out and she offered him a piece. He loved it and asked her is she would be willing to bake cakes for his restaurant. Little did he know that it wasn't "really homemade", she likes to use box cakes and embellish them with her special touches.... (It was the funniest thing ever. She was almost famous)
