When Pajamas are dangerous!

    In the great state of Wyoming I have observed a strange and unusual phenomenon! Maybe you have seen it too?  No, I have  not seen alien aircraft, nor have I heard weird sounds…..I have not had a big foot sighting! What have you seen Pastor Mark?

So glad you asked….brace yourself I have seen with my own “Baby Hazels” people wearing pajamas in the day time….outside, in public! Often with accompanying giant slippers!

This is strange to me. Pajamas outside….in plain sight? Oh yes…..it’s a regular occurrence in the “Equality State”.

Why? Comfort or ease of wear….a fashion statement?  I am not sure since I have not done any official “Pajama Interviews”.  That said….

I think I know….and what I have found is.... “Pajamas can be dangerous”

Recently I purchased my very own pair of plaid comfortable and cozy pajama bottoms. My intent is they would never leave the house….unless I am traveling. 

One night last week, a potentially overdue net flick needed to be returned.  In a desire to save a $1.00 late fee….I decided to take it back.  It was nearly 9:00 pm on a cold Wyoming winter night. 

You guessed it I was wearing those Pajamas.  I deliberated changing…then concluded who could I possibly run into in 2 minutes of vulnerability? 

Well, I found out I could run into Dave and Dee Dee Eaton….church members, who had no business being out!  They saw me (Not too hard to miss) in all my plaid glory!

I told them they were sworn to secrecy….and seeing me in Pajama bottoms was similar to a “Big Foot” sighting…..rare….and they couldn’t be sure they saw it at all, and people might question their sanity!

So why blog about it, when the Eaton’s have yet (As far as I know) to spill the pajamas….I mean the beans?  Because I now know why some people in Wyoming wear Pajamas in public…..they are comfortable, but before you venture out on a wintry night thinking the coast is clear….remember... they can be dangerous!

By the way the net flicks movie had to be back by 9:00 …I returned it at 9:04….and had to pay the extra $1.00 anyway!

Michelle Robin Hensley November 11th 1969 - September 15th 2009 "We believe as Christians, that when our loved ones die, they go to be with the Lord. The Bible teaches that the Lord is with us. Well if they are with Him, and He is with us...they cannot be very far away" Peter Marshall My Dear Friend's, September 15 at 10:35 pm, my wonderful and Godly 39 year old sister Michelle, stepped into the presence of our Glorious Lord and King . Thank you for your wonderful support and kindness and understanding, our family has felt your care and warmth. I will forever be thankful that I came "Home" to be with her and my mom arriving Tuesday morning. Shell was unresponsive and in a coma all day. She was blessed to be comforted by Mom, my brother Mike, his wife Chrissie, and their two sons Caleb, and Josh. Barbara, my mother in law was there throughout the day, and part of the eveing. Several of Shell's friends came as well. Hospice was great (every step of the way) a

In Honor of Peter Marshall.

In Memory of a Man who was after God's own heart. As a younger minister my heart warmed to His preaching, (From recorded sermons) the soaring diction, the impassioned eloquent proclamation of truth, through a life consumed by Christ! As a middle aged Pastor now, the memory of this incomparable Preacher continues to inspire! I am so looking forward to meeting Dr. Marshall in heaven! Few people in my life's journey have touched me as deeply as the late Peter Marshall. Here is just a sample of his profound way of turning a phrase... • A different world cannot be built by indifferent people. • Give to us clear vision that we may know where to stand and what to stand for - because unless we stand for something, we shall fall for anything. • God will not permit any troubles to come upon us, unless He has a specific plan by which great blessing can come out of the difficulty. • If you hug to yourself any resentment against anybody else, you destroy the bridge by which God would come t

How are things at home?

              A year ago today, hearts were breaking, tears were flowing and pain left us nearly breathless.   A year ago we said a teary temporary (Thank God) farewell (Christians, never say goodbye, for the final time) to Michelle Robin Hensley , my sister, my dear friend.  The 12 months that we have walked and sometimes stumbled through, have been difficult.   The Lord has, as He promised, bore our burdens, comforted  hearts....and dried tears.   Oh they still come , often, I think they always will .  There is so much we miss , about you, so much we want to share with you .  I know that in some way you know what we are doing.... maybe in more detail than we can imagine. I still have a lump in my throat from time to time ....and missing you is a pale way to describe the ache.... but I know you are with the Lord ....and I am comforted . There are no words to describe how much we miss you . Your laughter , your wit ...your timing always spot on! I picture you now in
