It’s nothing that has to do with Passion. What a shocker! It’s two random thoughts that have been bouncing around my head all day.

Thought #1: How on earth can I not get a cell phone signal in certain parts of PA and yet for brief moments of time as I pass a local tavern and a Subway restaurant pull in a traffic report from Atlanta? It’s been happening for quite some time, but it is only today that I realized where the interference was coming from. To back track slightly, when I am listening to my iPod using my wireless iTrip, I hit a certain spot on the road I take to work every day at which the music disappears and is replaced usually by talk radio of some fashion or another. Most days, it’s a short snippet of the conversation that offers no identifying characteristics. Today when it happened, the first word I caught was “Buckhead”. No way! Then, the announcer said something about the 400 and the 85. So, any radioheads (people who understand such things as frequency, not the band … although the band is more than welcome to join the conversation) out there who have an idea how this happens please do comment!

Thought #2: This is grace in action, modeled by a softball team. (ht: Gman)

… not for these poor kids. They lost my mom (their grandmother) in December and now their paternal grandmother has suddenly passed away. I never really asked why such things happened when it was my mom because I knew that she believed as I do - that God has a plan that we may never understand. But, when I think of my niece (who should be enjoying the final months of her senior year) and my nephew, I can’t help but ask.

Please do pray for them and their family.

… and here’s the proof.
