I found this link today via another blog.
Janet has several posts on the Church’s responsibility to single mothers trying to be keepers at home.
This one, “Single mothers and the church” is particularly good. In another one, she said that churches need to realize that helping a single mom be a keeper at home is enabling […]

I found these shirts online today.
Too funny!

 
Can you tell I’ve been so busy? I forgot to post this last week too.
Thank you to LeftCoastOnlooker for reminding me that I didn’t list this! Oops!
 
 

For the past 6 years, my store has either been in the planning stage or daily operations stage.
Today was the last day.
I was almost as excited today as I was on the first day.
I sold more today though!
The next 3 days are clean up days and then I have my life back.
It feels rather surreal […]

I’m starting to get in the Christmas spirit. I have to wait until at least next week before I can even think about getting out the decorations. I should also clean my house and get it better organized before I drag all that out!

I was looking for a friend’s email address tonight. I realized I had a lot of old outdated emails and I began to delete them.
I found this one from nearly a year ago and thought I’d share it.
I have shared before that our church is absolutely not perfect. Some times I wonder about people, but […]

I found quite a few interesting posts this week.
To lighten up the place, I thought I’d share them.
No time like the present to serve Christ 
There is no greater work 
 Recovering from feminism
Challenge your child with greatness 
Make your own sugar scrub 
Fabulous packaging for frugal gifts 
100 things to spark creativity 

Today was just one of those days.
I wasn’t able to visit Lee since last Monday. All day today, I said, “Just one more week. Just one more week.”
This time next week my store owning days will be over. These past weeks have been crazy, but it’s just a few more days.
All day I felt that […]
