The sky is God's gift to you...what you do with it is your gift to him.

And gratefully my gift to him on Saturday was not my life.

The least scary part about sky diving is watching a zillion people in line in front of you, harness up, get on the plane, and 20 minutes later be walking on earth again. Kind of anti-climatic.

Wow! That's so amazing you did that! Way to go! That's so great you can cross another thing on your list! Thanks for being an example of how to live life!
ReplyDeleteWow, Matt's been trying to convince me. . . I don't know! Maybe one of these days (months? years?) I'll be brave enough. Right now pregnancy works at a totally legitimate excuse. :) Good for you, and how fun! The fear just may kill me even if my parachute didn't malfunction.
ReplyDeleteP.S. You really have never ridden in a tractor? I know someone who just bought a tractor and is very proud of it-- my dad. Give him a call. :) And you haven't run for charity? (Relay for Life?)
