BBQ and the focus on God's will for us versus the never-ending machinations of Satan. Sounds like every trip I take through Charlotte.

Stay focused on the positive and ignore that nasty source of negativity trying to drag you down!

Had one of these moments this morning. Waiting in a long line at the Dollar store, the lady in front of me commented that the gift bags I was about to buy were cute. One little remark led to another, that led to another.....I'm naturally not super-outgoing but I've made it a mission to try and connect with people in a pleasant and positive way, every day, so I took the conversation a little further each time.

I learned that she, like me, has roots in western Pennsylvania. She mentioned Pittsburgh, and I said I was also from Pittsburgh (we are in Philadelphia now) and then she said, well, really I'm from Uniontown (small town south of Pittsburgh) and I said wow, my family is also from near Uniontown and it was on! Just two people passing ten minutes in a busy store, really seeing each other. As we parted, she said, "I'm Susan" and I smiled and said, "I'm Sheryl."
