Friday ramblings…

…when i was in front of the mirror this morning i was thanking God for His blessings and this day….i realize i haven’t done that in a while
…sometimes it takes two coats of hand lotion in the morning before my hands feel “coated” correctly.  weird, right?
…when i’m running at night, i notice all the BIG [...]



Serious coffee time

Why do rainy mornings always make me want to curl up on the couch with a cup of coffee and a good book?
It’s one of those days today.
And it doesn’t help that i’m reading four really good books right now.
Walking on Water is a book that’s been in my side table for quite a while.  [...]



Sometimes you wonder…

Last night i was heading out the door for my run.  And this is the thought (prayer?) that goes through my head, “i hope i finish this run listening to ‘Lullaby’ by Billy Joel” (i’ll tell you why later).
My ipod is on “shuffle” so i never know what i’m going to get….and i really love [...]



Paint the town

We met at 9:30 at the Methodist Children’s Home.

There were rooms and hallways to be painted.  And the Quota Club was up for the task!  We started at 9:30.  We had buckets, paint brushes, rolling pan thingees, drop clothes and wet towels (for the occasional paint drippy mess).
The color was sage.  I loved it.  Made [...]



Selah’s amazing song, “Unredeemed”…

7:45

If it had been two minutes later, we would have been gone.
Ben and i were ready to go out for our nightly trip to Wal-mart.  We kissed the girls good-bye, asked for any last minute requests for Wal-mart necessities and were about to head to the front door when we heard the knock.
We never get unexpected company, so Ben looked [...]



Is it Monday already?

Ah the weekends….how they fly by!
What did you do with YOUR weekend?
Can you remember, or are the details already sketchy?
I had an awesome weekend.  Call me crazy, but i do love the craziness of football season.
My typical Friday nights during football season go like this:
leave the office at 5:00.  go to the band room.  put [...]



Friday ramblings…

…football season starts tonight
…that’s why we were at the stadium until 10 p.m.
…someone has to set up the 10 registers (and reprogram them for the new combos we’ll be selling)
…someone has to put out all the popcorn and nacho machines
…someone has to wipe the counters with bleach, sweep the floors and then mop
…oh yeah, we [...]



I got nothing

I’m sitting here trying to think of something interesting to chat about.  But really, i’ve got nothing.
It is rather quiet around here.
The new school year has started and seems to be going well.
Paige loves being an 8th grader i think.  I hope she’ll enjoy it as much when she heads to high school next year.
Karlee [...]
