Waking up in Auburn and Mr. Rogers Neighborhood

It's a beautiful morning here in Auburn, AL.  It's so fun to be able to run away for the weekend, well at least half of it on a whim.

The change of scenery and laughing with friends is so worth the 4 hour drive!

Subway, Cici's, hair cuts in our spare time.  Hah! Spare time, when do we ever have spare time!  Feels good to make some spare time, I'll tell ya what!

Finished reading The Simple Faith of Mr. Rogers this morning.  Amy Hollingsworth writes an awesome book about how she got to know Fred Rogers.  His simple messages, his child friendly show, even drew many adults to watch.  I admit that it draws me even today when I see the re-runs.

Reading on about how he created Mr. Rogers Neighborhood I realized that I have loved that show since I was little for several reasons.
1. He reminded me that I'm special no matter what.
2. He taught me it's ok to have and express feelings- probably something that lead me into my field of helping people.
3. He taught me to think of others and share life with genuiness-probably what trampolined me toward ministry to children and their families.

Thank you Mr. Rogers for your influence in my life and thank you for teaching me so much about using my imagination!
