This past weekend was our high school fall retreat to Logan Valley.  It was a great time - for shizzle.  (is that how you spell it??) 🙂  The weather was gorgeous and Logan Valley is a great place out in the middle of nowhere to enjoy it.  Good sunshine, great company - what else can … Continue reading Youth Ministry Hangovers

Hope everyone had a good Wednesday.  Work was very busy and I had several of those "should-have-had-a-long-time-ago" conversations with some folks.  Draining but needed.  Funny youth thing for the day:  During our middle school program one of my 8th grade guys fell to the ground during our game. He stood back up, put his hand … Continue reading Mustard Moments

Okay, okay.  It has been incredibly too long since I posted last.  Call it busy, call it lazy, call it whatever you'd like.  Nevertheless, I am truly sorry to all who are faithful to check back to this site and are SADLY disappointed. 🙂  (Adrian, Beth, and my Aunt Judy! Thanks for being faithful ladies!) … Continue reading Back from the Dead

I don't have time to post much but wanted to put up a few new pictures that I took of Blake over the weekend. He is such a sweetie. I was with him on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I spent the night on Friday night while Greg was out of town and helped Angela with … Continue reading More Blake Photos

Hey everyone! I can't believe it's been over a week since I posted last. It has been a really hectic time lately and it seems I never get here to post - even thought I check back often to keep up with the tagboard comments. I've posted some new photos of Blake in the Blake … Continue reading New Blake Photos

Forgot to post about the Hurricane. I was watching the aftermath and Ivan hit the area where we stay for our senior trip really hard!!! In fact, many of the place we drive by or go to each year suffered some serious damage. They showed the Romar Baptist Church which I've driven by each year … Continue reading Hurricane Ivan

What a busy week it has been. Sorry I haven't been journaling faithfully. I had a deacon banquet on Monday night, C-Groups on Tuesday night and church on Wednesday. C-groups are my high school student-led Bible studies. There are six of them - three on Tuesday nights and three on Wednesday nights. One of the … Continue reading Where did the week go?

What beautiful weather! Gorgeous, gorgeous. A little ragweed isn't going to get me down. 🙂 Friday night, Common Ground had our movie night. We watched The Princess Bride - a classic movie from my high school days. Great movie - even after the 40th time. So many great, quotable lines. On Saturday, a few of … Continue reading Weekend Update

I called Lowe's today about the floor. Seems like it is too expensive and too time-consuming to have a professional come and remove the old vinyl flooring in the kitchen. So, following the directions of one of the Lowe's staff, we leveled the floor with floor leveling paste (like cement mixture). We put this any … Continue reading Kitchen Plan F

Tonight was my first Wednesday back to the regular school year schedule at church. In some ways I was dreading it - just because Wednesdays are so long in church work. But I must admit, after spending an hour with my hilarious and energetic middle schoolers, my attitude was much better. They are so cool … Continue reading Wednesdays
