My memory verse for these last two weeks of 2009 is this -
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek Him in His temple.

She asked-
What are you grateful for that you NEVER thought you would
be grateful for?
Well. That one got me thinking. The usual stuff is easy [...]

The original plan for Halloween this year was for us to go up to Knoxville for an award that was being given to a friend. We wanted to be there to congratulate her and a lot of our friends up there haven’t seen Ginny ever and we’ve been wanting to catchup with folks.
That plan got [...]

Acts 16: 22 – 26

I can’t really tell you the scripture this comes from, but I am convinced that Jesus doesn’t just save sinners.
He saves me, every day, every moment. Each time I turn to Him when I feel small, or petty, or discouraged, or angry. He saves me from that and sends me in another direction.
Right now I’m [...]

alright. I am going to brag on my child.
It is going to be sickeningly sweet and gushy. If you don’t want to read it you don’t have to. But I’m a mom and it is good for me to occasionaly wax eloquent about my darling child. Ask Missy over at It’sAlmostNaptime. This was her idea. [...]

okay, we saw the doctor Wednesday and she said that Ginny was very very much improved and that she is gonna be fine.
the big thing now is to keep from re-infecting her, or adding any new infection on top of the one she has just fought off.
So Martin and I are sort of in a [...]
