So Christmas has come and gone, and I missed posting last week. This will be quick, but I felt a need to check in with the blogosphere before the year ends.
The new job continues to go well. I have been “baptized by fire” in starting a job at a large church in the midst of […]
Here are a few things I am thinking about this week . . .
Advent
We managed to get out the Christmas decorations before the Advent season began this year. So for two whole days, Charis begged me to let her “do” the Advent calendar before the first day. The first day to use the calendar came […]
Big News: I accepted an offer for a full-time job. It is an administrative position with a large church. We are thankful for the opportunity. If you think of it, pray for all the adjustments to our family life in the weeks and months ahead.
Kids: Girls will hopefully go back to their school of last […]
Being late twice in 10 weeks is actually not too bad. Right?
Reading: Not to page 200 yet in HP4 and have re-read the first page of Chapter 2 in Simply Christian 10 times. Let’s just say reading has fallen by the wayside this week. Hoping for more time in the next week.
I have been thinking […]
Category: around the houseBooks: Didn’t read any more Simply Christian because I was having too much fun reading the rest of HP3. Already over 100 pages into HP4. The rest of the series will go much more quickly for me–I am finally hooked! I promise to do some more “spiritual” reading this week.
Kids: This week has been busy […]
Beginning with a Book: I started reading Simply Christian by NT Wright over last weekend. Chapter 1, “Putting the World To Rights,” talks about our longing for justice in the world. To me, it seems Wright is talking about the void we all feel that there has to be something–someone who can straighten out the […]
So here it is Wednesday again . . .
Pictures: From our church’s harvest party
News: Tonight, Mark and I surgically removed a red plastic peg from Charis’s ear. It took bribery to get her to remain still enough to put the tweezers far enough into her ear to get a decent grip on the thing, but […]
News: Had strep throat over the weekend and a houseguest. This is not the best combination, as even though the guest was really Mark’s guest, I felt bad I couldn’t be more “hostessy.” Thankfully, I went to urgent care on Sunday, tested positive for strep, and the appropriate antibiotics were prescribed. Tonight, I feel […]
It’s 11:38 pm on Wednesday night, and I haven’t posted to tell you wasup . . . .
So, here goes:
School : Got done on schedule today. This is big, folks. When will it happen again? I don’t know. But let’s just glory in the moment
Diet: Still keeping up the lo-carb eating. It is […]
Here are shots of Nevin, all ready for football last Saturday. It was picture day, but we, being frugal folk, will not be purchasing the professional photos. So we had to take a few of our own. Nevin’s team won their game this week 21 - 20–it was a nail-biter! Nevin was most excited because […]
