God, you are greater than I am, and you are greater than any obstacle we face.  Will you help me this week to rest in that as I do my best to accomplish all that has been set before me?  Thank you, and in Jesus’ name, amen.


So, it is a rainy Monday, and I love the sound of the rain.  I wish I could just stay curled up on the couch with a mug of hot cocoa, a blanket, and a good book.  Aahh, what a dream.  Instead, I have been trying to get the house cleaned up and am now trying to decide if I want to get in the pickup line at the elementary school so that I can work on my Beth Moore study.  Decisions, decisions. 


Chip and Parker are at school, and I pray that all of you who are going to school each day, be it K-8 or college, are finding joy today in the life you are living.  If you are not, I urge you to ask God to help you make the necessary changes that will allow you to discover true joy.


Have a great week, and “hi” to my new Xanga friend.  This has been a great way to meet people I never knew I’d meet…Beverly, Mia…and who knows who else.

What is it? and who sings it? humm well… I just got done baby-sitting… kind of tired… hope you’re having a great weekend! hope to see you soon!

    We’ve had quite a few of those rainy, rainy days lately haven’t we? Which Beth Moore study are you doing? Our ladies Bible study is doing Kay Arthur’s I Samuel.
