I’m halfway through my birth-month celebrations and I’ve
noticed a theme forming. It’s Proverbs 19:21: “There are many plans in a man's
heart, Nevertheless the Lord's counsel--that will stand.” I had grand plans for
this month. I had plans…but it seems the Lord had other plans.

This past week’s plans included a trip to the Smithsonian
Museum of American Art, the National Marine Corps Museum and the Kennedy
Center. I only visited one out of the three, the American Art Museum on my
son’s birthday. I enjoyed the video game exhibit, but that wasn’t the highlight
of the day. My plans changed when we arrived at the museum an half an hour before it opened. We
took a detour to the National Building museum, which by God’s divine
providence, and found a Lego Architecture exhibit on display. In addition to that, the National Building Museum is a part of the Blue Star Families Museum program, so my family and I got in for free. My family and I
had much more fun at that exhibit than the video game exhibit.

As for my trip to the Kennedy Center, I had to cancel it
because I had a change of plans. I was quite looking forward to seeing that
performance. Also my plans for the Marine Corps museum fell through because we were all tired from spending the day downtown DC. And the rain didn't help. But that’s the beautiful thing about birth-moth celebrations. You
can always add something else. Which I did.

Fibre Space, my local yarn shop sponsored a Knit in Public event at the
King Street Gardens on June 16th. I cut
it pretty close with everything else I had to do that day, but I made it in
time to sit for an hour with a nice group of women (as you know, I’ve never met
a stranger). As I talked with them, I discovered that they were celebrating
four birthdays in their group. Way cool.
