A couple of weeks ago, I was talking with my mom. She asked if I had everything James needs for winter. I told her that I think we’re all set except for boots. Later that week, I was cleaning and sorting things in the basement and I found a nice pair of Land’s End winter [...]

Oops

On Tuesday, I had to run money to Lee to pay for his counseling session. My mother in law kept James, so as soon as I was done I hurried over to pick James up so we culd get back to our school work. I locked the door and jumped out of the car only [...]

Last night, I was working on a Bible study I started long ago. I was doing Kay Arthur’s Finding Hope When Life Seems Dark quite awhile ago, but set it aside for other studies. I was reading Hosea last night to work on the study some more. A few of the verses had to do [...]

Monday, November 10th, 2008

When we went to the Fireproof seminar a week ago, the first session was by Gary Smalley. Here’s what he shared about forgiveness. 1. Heap massive honor on the other person.

No new photos. James finished naming her. Our other cat has a snooty middle name of Francesca so we wanted a snooty middle name for Mystery. We decided on Mystery Marguerite. **If you’re name Francesca or Marguerite I’m not saying YOU are snooty! It’s just quite the name for a cat right?** The adult cat [...]

Could you?

If you were asked what being saved means could you tell someone? If someone came to you wanting the peace and joy you have, could you open you Bible and show them what God himself says? I thought about this question this morning as we were studying Romans in the morning worship service. I have [...]

I get to go to a scrapbook retreat again! I considered skipping it, but it’s my one big break during the year. A friend from church is keeping James and I’m leaving bright and early. I hope to get a lot of scrapbooking done. Last year, I added knitting to my hobbies. This year, I [...]

I received the best birthday present ever!

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

Lee gave me gold hoop earrings. My mom gave me money. My sisters gave me books on topics I love. But the best gift I got came stapled (and stapled and stapled) inside a big piece of paper. James made me this beautiful card. Isn’t he sweet?
