Is it just me?

I drove by the new Cowboy's stadium last night & for some reason was reminded of a movie I used to watch when I was little: Flight of the Navigator.

Am I that far off?

Today I have been working on the house & catching up on laundry. As I was running around the house, I had the TV on & Star Wars, Episode IV was playing (that was the first of the 'old' ones)...random, I know. As I watched the final scene, I was reminded of how I LOVED Princess Leia's hair when I was little. Not this hair:

This hair:

I thought it was the most beautiful hair EVER. Maybe that's why I didn't cut my hair from 1st grade-7th grade...who knows. I still remember the moment I saw an interview of Carrie Fisher on TV...with SUPER SHORT hair. I was immediately distraught, so I turned to my mom & asked what happened to her beautiful hair. The answer that followed may possibly be my number one childhood disappointment. "Her hair was fake, Katie. It was never really that long." NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Verses from Philippians

1:21: For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
2:1-11: If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
2:14-15: Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe.
3:7-8: But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ.
3:12-14:Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Disappointment
