Marriage Seminar Round 2

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

Today was wonderful! I didn’t have a headache. Praise the Lord! That made my day so much more enjoyable. And probably my husband’s because I get grizzly when my head hurts so badly. First, I will share that I am SOOOOO thankful to my sister in law and my mother in law. They watch James [...]

An exciting weekend

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

Thursday is marriage seminar day. I’m very thankful for the opportunity to sit next to my husband all day! On Friday, James is sleeping over at his friend’s house. He and his friend haven’t seen each other in several weeks and they have some serious playing to do! On Saturday, James has a birthday party [...]

Of Pirates, a Daddy, and a Little Boy

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

James thinks pirates are pretty cool. He knows they weren’t nice men and didn’t obey God. He just enjoys learning about them and their ships and things like that. We’ve been reading Treasure Island, but wow! It’s slow going. A letter arrived this week for James. In it were 13 handwritten pages from Lee with [...]

Inmates ministering to inmates

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

When I posted about the marriage seminar, I alluded to some neat things I wanted to share with you. 3 weeks later, and 1 1/2 days til October’s Marriage Seminar, and I’m JUST now getting to this! At lunch time, we were dismissed to the tables for a delightful lunch. Lee and I didn’t seek [...]

I spoke with the prison chaplain

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

During the marriage seminar last month, the chaplain walked around during the lunch break and chatted with the couples. When she came to our table, I asked her how people that wanted to minister to prisoners could get involved. She said that getting training through Prison Fellowship is the very best way to get involved. [...]

She cancelled on me

Monday, October 15th, 2007

Oh well. At first I felt a tiny twinge of disappointment. However, I have prayed about this and I asked you to pray. So obviously she is not the buyer. I came to realize today that selling this store just may be my plan not God’s. If you still think to pray for us, please [...]

Making Money Online

Monday, October 15th, 2007

I’m always looking for ways to make a little bit of cash. One fun thing to try is “Get Paid To” sites. I’ve seen a little bit of curiosity about these on blogs lately. I’ve tried two and been pleased with them. They are Deal Barbie Pays *It will say referred by philadude that’s correct. [...]

Meeting with a Prospective Buyer on Monday

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

I am meeting with the first prospective buyer tomorrow. I am a little bit nervous. I’d like very much to sell this store. As far as the information I’m presenting, I feel like I’m winging it. I haven’t paid a slew of professionals to prepare a glossy prospectus for me. I’ve just typed up what [...]

Can you help me find a blog post?

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

A week or so ago, I read about a family that had a treasure hunt for their children. It included Bible verses and reasons why they don’t celebrate Halloween. I told James about it when we were once again discussing our lack of participation in this holiday. He got excited and seemed to agree with [...]

Help from the celly

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

When I visited Lee this morning, he told me about his new “celly”. This is the third celly he’s had in the past few months. The first one was taken to the hole for an infraction. The second one moved in with someone else. This one hates God. Every time Lee listens to Christian radio, [...]
