NEW WORLD MEETS OLD SONG TITLES

Boy, it’s a different world. I attended my adorable neighbor’s elegant 75th birthday party, complete with a beautiful “75” ice sculpture, flower arrangements featuring Birds of Paradise, food from shrimp to Brie to Belvedere martinis, and a deejay playing some great tunes for dancing and fun.

The spell was broken, though, when one of the 70-something guests tried to request a song from the deejay. “I Only Have Eyes for You,” he said.

The deejay replied, frowning, “I’m worried!”

Prayer request: After a long day at a grocery-store cashier’s stand, my local clerk was planning to drive 30 miles to go see her best friend’s husband in a cardiac care unit. He’s in his late 50s, and he had a serious heart attack this past week. Lord, she was so tired, and her friend is so scared. What a testament to the caliber of friendship that You call us to display, Lord. Be with her, give her Your confidence, and inspire her to say and do the things that matter and will really help. Grant healing to the husband and a long life. (Proverbs 14:26)
