DANIELLE RENEE, DANIELLE RENEE, AND DANIELLE RENEE

I went TGIF’ing with an old buddy yesterday, one of those friends with whom fun just happens, every time. We went to the local BBQ mecca and enjoyed listening to our talkative waitress. That’s right: we two verbal virtuosos were no match for Chatty Kathy of the wait staff.

Turns out her name is Danielle Renee. She is from a neighboring small town with a relatively small high-school graduating class. But in that class with Danielle Renee were not one, but TWO other girls ALSO named Danielle Renee.

What are the odds? We were amazed.

I was able to get one word in edgewise, that they could date Larry, Darrell and Darrell from TV fame about 20 years ago. You know, the two brothers who were both named Darrell because their parents couldn’t think of another boy’s name that they liked as well. “Our” Danielle Renee is too young to know what I was talking about and just gave me the familiar puzzled but tolerant smile of the young savant for the dotty old fool.

She did say, however, that she dated a boy for two years but had to break up because it was just too much of a good thing. His name? You guessed it: Daniel. Now, if HIS middle name would have been Renee. . . .

Prayer request: That good old bud, Cindy J., has a mom who recently developed uterine cancer and breast cancer, and now in recent days has learned that a new malignancy has been found in her thyroid. Father God, we thank You for the gracious way this elder has been facing these trials, and for the strengthening of the relationship between mother and daughter, as the roles are gradually reversing before their eyes. Grant them both a supernatural peace, and the knowledge that, as believers, You will be with them come what may. (Matthew 6:31,32)
