Haley and Mom's Night on the Town

Let's face it, we are all sick of this weather. I was enjoying another night in when a friend called and invited me out for bingo. Never have I played Bingo in such a setting and never have I driven Ian's big ol diesel truck without him. But I needed out so I decided to go for it.

I did enjoy driving the big ol truck. I kinda felt like I could roll over any car or pull down a house with a tow chain. These are just a few of the features that Ian highlighted when he tried to convince me the truck wasn't so much a want as a need. I think Haley enjoyed it too because she kicked the whole ride there.

Bingo was way cool. They played theme songs from tv shows and if you had it on your card you got to mark off your square....typical bingo fashion. We also played with 80's songs which who doesn't love music from the 80's and then finished up with band names. I enjoy playing while sipping on a diet coke. Now I am hopped up on caffine because I should be in bed sleeping but instead I am updating my blog.....from my cell phone. Which takes way more effort then the topic really deserves.

It was a good night to get out. And now I have the best of the 80's running through my head. It's a shame I only got to enjoy one year and three months of the 80's because it seems like it was good times back then....big hair...dirty dancing.....drinking age at 18.....the birth of Chipndale (sp?) dancers.......yes...good times indeed.

Well....I suppose that's all I have for tonight. Tomorrow is a busy day filled with paper work for substitute teaching...maybe some fun filled speedo yo..yo..yo....yoga....grocery shopping.....and the best of Thursday night TV with my hubby. It may not be the 80's..but it's all a good time for me. Friday we visit the doc to check up on the bun in the oven. Maybe break the news that I plan to do a drug free labor. Looking forward to his reaction to that....

Stay warm....and listen to some Eagles, Michael Jackson, White Snake....for old times sake.

Fruit & Root Connection: Tangled Up

Certainly, I've expressed my aversion to hyper-spiritualized language before. It often feels contrived, lacking authenticity—a facade of piety. Perhaps it's projection. Maybe jealousy. Or it could stem from a sense of disillusionment with the Christian community. But every so often, amidst the noise, a truth resonates deeply. "There is a root and fruit connection between heart and behavior. People and situations do not determine our behavior; these things provide an occasion where our behavior reveals our hearts." - Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands I've been navigating through my anger, confronting myself in the mirror. What does this anger unveil about my own heart? Surely, they aren't as enraged with me. In fact, they probably don't spare me a second thought. If anything, they—as sincerely as they can muster—bemoan my status as an apostate. So pitiful. My fruit is anger. And too often, I'm tempted to point fingers elsewhere as the source of my...

If Your Happy and You Know it Clap Your Hands....

Alright y'all, I need to post an actual blog post.  It's been awhile.I guess I have said " writers block".  Everytime I've sat down to blog, I've gotten this nasty attitude, like I just want to rant and complain.  I'm not a fan of giving a bad mood more than it deserves or letting people get on my nerves enough that it bleeds in my blog in the most passive-aggressive way possible.  So I won't go there this time.  Focusing on what I'm thankful for has been such a great practice, and has helped me avoid the above.  So here goes nothing.....I'll update a little bit on everthing I suppose.... Finally, life is beginning to slow down.I am so appreciative of the fact that the moving/settling in process is over ( only to do it all again in T minus 5 months....) In theory, there should be a big hole where our next house will be soon. For some reason I doubt that they will break ground this week, but I would be happy if they did...I'm stressed and ...

Never Say When

At some point in my journey, I forgot that church leaders are flawed humans too. I have a tendency to overly respect authority for the sake of their position. I assumed, being a pastor meant that there is some how a higher spiritual connection. Consequently, I would turn off my own discernment in favor for whatever I was being instructed to do by our church leader. The person I have grown to distrust the most and the person I betrayed the most was myself.  Examples: Early in our journey, we had a small group. For the most part, I LOVED small group nights. Until we had a change of seasons. I had just had my third baby. We were living in a rental property while renovating another home ourselves. I was working on leading our developing children's ministry and feeling over my head. Ian worked afternoons so either small group would take one of only two family nights or would be when he was working, leaving me to attend alone most of the time. Our small group had roughly 10-15 small chil...
