Today is picture day….last night was the Chili Cook-Off, Brownie Bake-Off, Talent Show at Church. It was loads of fun, and I’m only hoping that my youth group appreciates the sacrifice of dignity this forty-something has made out of love for them. I do love them…all of them! Especially, I love Chris and Andrew. They’ll graduate […]
Read MoreOh, how glad I am for Saturdays! This Saturday is a little different, though. I am heading to the church in a little while to practice a skit (dance) that I have agreed to do with my girls. Why? I don’t know. I’m such a glutton for punishment/embarrassment, I suppose. Maybe they’ll decide they could […]

You’d have to know that I have two wonderful friends, named Kallie and Allie, who were doing a survey tonight, then showed up at my house with my favorite Starbucks drink. Praise God for […]
Read Morean edit:….I forgot to mention that Miss Beth Garner taught me how to fix popcorn in the big popcorn machine on Friday night. I feel like quite the old pro now. In fact, I think I need one of those machines for my house! Wouldn’t that be fun??? Thanks, Bethy, for being such a good […]
Read MoreGlory! Thank you Lord for a better day!! Thank you, too, for such sweet friends who genuinely care about how I’m feeling. Father God, you are mightier than any pain I will ever go through, with my head or my heart. How I pray that today is a day I take time to see your […]
