Wednesday

Sigh. It's Wednesday---all day today. Home Groups tonight...Pastors are gone so the ladies will be at my friend Paigey's house [does this mean we can turn the tv on right at 8 for American Idol? Hey - the guys are singing tonight!]

Headstart might take the kids to the County Library tomorrow morning, which is always fun [serious] though it will mean a rushed morning. Unless it snows. Which it might since WNEP says it's going to be 'ugly' tomorrow---always a comfort.

The bus monitor and I were on the bus thing morning---driving into the rising sun...and the rays were coming through the clouds just so that it looked like it was shining intensely on one spot...and she started sharing something about how one of her grandkids always thought it meant Jesus was coming back, which is what I had just thought, so I told her that..."Jesus? Is that you? Is it now? Please????" Despite her incessant chatter over the radio the rest of the time, this was a nice moment in the morning.

I know what you mean about driving into the sun; it's so low at this time.

Oh, OH! I'm going to beat Fluke to a singing comment! HAHA!

"What if Jesus comes back like that? Oh what if Jesus comes back like that?"

That's a good one.

Weekenders!!!

It's that time again. For Michele's weekend Meet-n-Greet. Some frown, but others gleefully play. Here's a question for all who visit here, whether on your own or from Michele's: Last night during a prayer meeting, I had a memory flash through my mind. More like the shadow of the memory. I was five years old or younger and I was begging my father for a peanut butter cake. I really wanted one, and even though I was interupting the adult conversation and probably being a regular brat...my Dad quit what he was doing to search for a recipe for a peanut butter cake...uhm, I don't think he ever found one so he made me a chocolate one with peanut butter frosting. This is probably the best memory I have of my father. So - what is your favorite childhood memory?????

A Situation

Ok. I need to think out loud here for a bit while I wait on email. I have a situation going on that could become tough. A bit of background: About 2 years ago, a single man started coming to my church and showed an interest in me. It lasted about a month and a half, with him giving me mixed signals all the time...since I have been praying for a husband for a while now, at the time, it seemed like my prayers were being answered despite the confusion. It all came down one night about midnight in his parking lot and I haven't talked to him since. He only stayed around for another 7-8 months, and those were very hard months. He lied to me and mislead me, often. Like it was second nature for him. It was made even more traumatic by a discovery of mine on a website shortly after he left the area. In September 2005, I had a blind date that was far from fruitful. My singleness and desire to be married is known to all in church, and so... To the present: Yes, another single man has walked in...

Shock and Awe

It is a strange thing. How someone can say, "I'm sorry, please forgive me" and still manage to correct you all at once...it is truly amazing to me. I was shocked that this person actually admitted to being wrong, and at the same time, I was ashamed for wanting it. But it got me to thinking. About Repentance and Forgiveness...how once they have happened...there is healing and restoration. I haven't completely researched it yet, but the verses I've peaked at in James make me think I'm not far off. I wonder, just as one person sinning can spoil others...can one person repenting turn others to repentance? Hmm.... Of course, as in any relationship situation...it helps to know the whole story. Why do we do that, I wonder? Close up and not share what is going on, I mean. I know that sometimes, there are things that hurt too deep to share right away. It is frustrating. Thanksgiving looks to be a dismal day so far. I'm not about ready to invite myself to any...
