The Quicks hope to see you at the National Quartet Convention in Louisville, Kentucky September 11-17! We will be at Booths 1727 & 1729 – Stop by for a Quick visit! We have good candy! We will be singing Thursday afternoon in the Southern Spin showcase at 1:00 PM at the Executive Inn – come hear us do "It's a Sure Thing!"
Things aren't always as they appear. I had just filled the two gallon jug with gas for the mower and gotten back in the van. I noticed Tim had a strange look on his face – well, stranger than usual. He began to tell me about a lady who had pulled up in a white van and kept looking over at him while I pumped gas. He said, "She had this frown on her face. She looked at me sitting here, then at you, then back at me." Tim believed she was giving him "the look" for not being the one out at the gas tank. At first glance, most people would agree with her disgust that the "man" was not the one doing the "man" job. What this lady did not know was that I had just retrieved Tim from the hospital for his weekly infusion. I don't want him anywhere NEAR gas or any other hazardous material while he is in that condition - or any other condition for that matter! When we were first married living in Biloxi, Mississippi, we got a grill. Now back then, everybody didn't have a gas grill – just one of those that you loaded with charcoal then waited 45 minutes for it to get hot. Grilling out was not a joy for me – it irritated me to wait that long for food. On the other hand, it was like a holiday for Tim! He loved to play in the grill – while it was lit! He would squirt lighter fluid into the flame and watch it climb up the stream toward the can he was holding. Hard to believe this nutcase turned out to be the father of my children…
Things aren't always as they appear. We read in Genesis Chapter 39 of Joseph who was accused of attacking Potiphar's wife, when he was totally innocent! To the baker and the butler, Joseph was probably just some low-life who deserved to be in prison. He didn't appear to be anything else. I believe you can get a lot from a first impression, but in all fairness, we need to be discerning when it comes to other people. This comes from listening to the Holy Spirit. Man looks on the outward appearance, but God looks on the heart! He can always show you how things really are!
We now have a gas grill. My love and concern for the safety of Tim and the girls, as well as our home and personal belongings, compels me to be the one to do the grilling.
till next time…
Sally

Is it so you can do the grilling, or that you just don't have to wait on the food?
Sally, I always enjoy reading your column. Good stuff!!
Tim, I would just like to know how you get Sally to do the grilling. My wife says the grill is the MAN'S JOB!
Hey Quicks - Love this article. I get quite impatient and frequently, but I'm learning!!
