I damaged the left grip of the bike two days ago so I had to order a new part from BMW. I'm waiting for the Fedex driver to bring me my freedom, but they sent it standard rather than priority overnight. So here I sit, wanting to do some miles. Patience is what I need but I'm fresh out today. I had a great day yesterday as I got to spend almost all of it with Hope Feist, who is Nancy's eldest daughter. She's had her permit for nine months but never got around to getting her DL until yesterday. Because all of the Knoxville locations were booked up, we made the trek up to LaFollette and got her driver's exam there. She passed with flying colors and is driving like a champ. Each of us is looking for some way to help the family. It's hard as so many signed up for meals and for yardwork & laundry. I've spoken to many who just couldn't get in on that deal in time and are frustrated by not being able to give the Feists assistance. I have a message for you: pray. Just pray every day for all of them. Your prayers are powerful and can cause mechanisms in heaven to move great gears that make a big difference. Hope shared with me a story about her Mom's "last" birthday. She and her brothers stayed up late that night and baked a cake and decorated the kitchen to surprise their parents Nancy and Dave when they got home from their date. The kitchen was festive with streamers everywhere and a two layered cake awaited the happy couple when they finally returned home. Hope shared with me, "I'm so glad we worked so hard for Mom's last birthday. I'm glad I don't look back with regret about wanting to tell her things or say I love you. I told my Mom everything!" That we would go that extra mile today for those we love and not just bake a cake but make it two layers!!!
