So, I figured I'd take a page from Chris and quote a few of my favorite lyrics that have been rolling around in my head today.   It's Thanksgiving, and already today, I'm dealing with explaining to the kids about 'entrapment' (of each other), and things like that.  However, I'm also very thankful for a lot.   So here are the lyrics running through ( Read more... )

Some things change, and some things stay the same

Will started school again, and we're still having issues with transportation.  Praying folks... you know the drill.  He's so far ahead of what would be his grade that if he went back to the standard ISD school, he'd be a holy terror out of boredom. (Been there, done that.)  However, at this point ( Read more... )

So, there is much happening in the world for me.  Firstly, I'm expecting a new computer any day now.  :D It was supposed to be here today, but it didn't make it. Instead of sending it directly to me, FedEx sent it to a hub, which happened to be the other direction.  Silly FedEx. I just hope it doesn't come while we're on our mini-vacation ( Read more... )

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. (Yeah, I know. I can hear my sibs saying, "don't hurt yourself, there").  It's almost been a re-evaluation of what I know to be true.  Well... let me take that back. Not so much what  I know to be true,  but how it applies these days.  How do the truths I know are true from life experience and from training ( Read more... )

We've been talking with a local thrift store (run by/for an animal shelter) and have decided to work for them. Since everything is given to them, R figured he'd offer to help sell stuff for them.  They get given whole estates of stuff sometimes, and often, there are things in there that are extremely valuable. Others have possible value depending ( Read more... )

So, this has been rolling around in my head for several days ( Read more... )

I think I've found a prayer project for Lent.  It came about in kind of a strange way.  If you want to join me, I'd love it.  There is a gal, (whether she's serious or not, she could use the prayer, I think), who says she's going to kill herself in 90 days.  Lent's done about halfway through that.  Her blog is http://90dayjane.blogspot.com/ .   If ( Read more... )

4 die in Colo. church, mission attacks - Yahoo! NewsThis is really scary.  I'm YWAM Associate (fancy language for I used to work with YWAM), and this struck me.   So random, so unnecessary.  I don't know what to think.  I don't think, as a friend or two have suggested, that it's the fault of having guns around.  I think it's the fault of having sin ( Read more... )

four parts of a sign. I don't remember Stoeke (sp)'s names for them, but I do remember their purposes ( Read more... )

Things are going interestingly.  Today, I feel like I'm swimming up a strong river with only short arms and poor legs or something.  Apparently, this is part of some of my girl stuff, so it's not unusual, but not fun, either ( Read more... )
