Where did the weekend go?

There was a lot of climbing…

And running…

And sliding…

And bouncing…

And pickin’…

And trickin’…

And treatin’…

And smiling…

And sugar…

And, thank goodness, an extra hour of sleep.

Some weeks are just that way…

On Monday morning, I realized that it was crazy sock day at Emily’s school.  Emily doesn’t own any crazy socks and I was not about to go to Wal-Mart at 5:00 a.m. in search of any.
Monday evening…I pretended to forget it was gymnastics day because I was so.very.tired.
On Tuesday, it was wear your favorite team [...]

Weekend with The Girls

I just love these girls…

I mean…how can I not?  They are adorable!
Emily informed me on Saturday that two of her barbies had gotten married.  Everyone will be happy to know that both ladies picked boys that love Jesus. She then said that she can not wait to see who her daddy will pick for her to marry…yes, [...]

I have absolutely no point…

I don’t really have much to say.  Especially, since this song is stuck in my head and pretty much rules out any remotely spiritual thought.
I would say that I would write something tonight, except…well, I have very important things to do tonight.  There is a full DVR and some chips and salsa awaiting my attention. [...]

Promises, Promises

Driving home from work the other day I heard a commercial on the radio for a debt consolidation company.  You know…those folks who always have your best interests at heart?  Well, this is the promise they gave to all who were listening to their commercial…If you have a job and $200 per month, we will remove [...]

Oh, Appendix…You did me wrong.

Where does one even start when you have dropped off the face of the earth for six weeks?
Should I go into the details of the burst appendix, emergency surgery and near death experience?
Do I want to rehash the horror that was my FaceBook page being hacked into while I am in the hospital with my [...]

Warning…Honesty Below

This has been some kind of week…
Major health issues have invaded our family and, well, disrupted everything I had planned and hoped would happen over the next six months.
Turns out…I will not be able to be a stay-at-home mom.  I am tempted to say the expected Christian thing…you know…It just wasn’t the right time, but [...]

I’ve Got the Power…

First…they sent us twenty bucks.
We said thank you…
and then we went and ate Mexican.
It was good.
Then…
they sent us this…

Yes…we now have the power…look for more freaky TLC shows, twenty year old football games and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse coming your way soon…

Favor in the Desert…

I am having a great day today…
a little Panera for lunch…
great friends who give godly counsel and promise to pray…and then really do pray…
a reminder from the Lord that the fruit of the spirit is not anger, melancholy, confusion and doubt…and aren’t we all glad about that…
the knowledge that my sweet, adorable 5 year old girl [...]

Coming down from the mountain…

Sometimes…when I’m having a sweet time with the Lord…I wish I could just stay in that place.  I wish I didn’t have to come down from the mountain.  I wish that I didn’t have to leave the fellowship and tend to dirty laundry and hungry people and the general pressures of life. 
I do believe Moses [...]
