Mackenzie Mathis: No Show Halo, Really Good Gelato

No Show Halo, Really Good Gelato

Let me explain the title! The medical equipment rep was unable to get a halo to Dr. Henderson's office in time for our appointment, so Mackenzie will have the halo placed at 7:30 in the morning.

So, instead of getting a halo this afternoon, she got some gelato. Our new friend Greg owns an Italian restaurant right outside the hotel and fixed Mackenzie up with a tasty treat!

The surgery is still scheduled for Friday morning. Mitchell is going to fly home tomorrow morning, go into the office on Wednesday, and then drive our car back here on Thursday. That way we can drive home instead of fly when Mackenzie is released from the hospital following her surgery.

Please pray for Mitchell's safe travel and for Mackenzie's comfort in the halo.

We love you all,

Lisa

Nehemiah 8:10~
Nehemiah said, "Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."

Jeremiah 29:11~
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Job 1:21-22~
At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship and said:
"Naked I came from my mother's womb,
and naked I will depart.
The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away;
may the name of the LORD be praised."

Jeremiah 31:13~
Then maidens will dance and be glad, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.

Isaiah 43:2 & 10~
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze."You are my witnesses," declares the LORD, "and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe Me and understand that I am He. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after Me.

Hebrews 12:2-3~
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Hebrews 10:23~
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.

Philipians 2:13~For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose.

Dance first. Think later. It's the natural order. ~Samuel Beckett

I am a dancer. I believe that we learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living.... In each it is the performance of a dedicated precise set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which comes shape of achievement, a sense of one's being, a satisfaction of spirit. One becomes in some area an athlete of God. ~Martha Graham

Next time you're mad, try dancing out your anger. ~Sweetpea Tyler

The Dancer believes that his art has something to say which cannot be expressed in words or in any other way than by dancing... there are times when the simple dignity of movement can fulfill the function of a volume of words. There are movements which impinge upon the nerves with a strength that is incomparable, for movement has power to stir the senses and emotions, unique in itself. This is the dancer's justification for being, and his reason for searching further for deeper aspects of his art.~ Doris Humphrey

We dance for laughter, we dance for tears, we dance for madness, we dance for fears, we dance for hopes, we dance for screams, we are the dancers, we create the dreams

You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing, and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life.

My feet shall run because of You, My feet, dance because of You, My heart shall beat because of You, My eyes, see because of You, My mind, thinks because of You, And I shall love because of You.

We sing in a church, why can we not dance there? ~George Bernard Shaw

Dance isn't a form it's a way of life.

Someone once said that dancers work just as hard as policeman, always alert, always tense. But i dont agree with that because policeman don't have to look beautiful at the same time. ~George Balanchine

Dance is not technique but expression that comes more closely to the inner language of man than any other. ~George Borodin

If I could tell you what it meant, there would be no point in dancing it. ~Isadora Duncan

Wherever a dancer stands is holy ground. ~Martha Graham

Dance is bigger than the physical body. Think bigger than that. When you extend your arm, it doesn't stop at the end of your fingers, because you're dancing bigger than that: your dancing spirit. ~Judith Jamison

Dancing is like bank robbery, it takes split second timing. ~Twyla Tharp

You can dance anywhere, even if only in your heart.

Dance is a delicate balance between perfection and beauty.
