GOOD MORNING GALS
I finally have time to catch up. Although I do check in often I don't post because it takes me too long to type!
But remember I am ALWAYS praying
Angie and I spent most of yesterday and last night at church. We had to put 1,000 packets of information together, for the new building project, in the afternoon then hand them out before service. Afterwords we met in our meeting hall for dessert (none for me!
) for a question and answer period. We had planned to go back today but it looks like we don't need to
My ex-wife worked with us all day yesterday, along with several other
. Brenda has to be at church today for both services anyway, for her "secretary work" on the project ,so she will oversee our VERY DEPENDABLE crew that will be working today.
It is good to get a little break as we have a lot of work coming up in the next few weeks....plus we had two nights of meetings this past week for 4 hours...
I am so blessed to be a part of it though! Thanks be to God!
My weight has been going up and down a little more than usual. I am really not complaining just a little confused. I don't usually have 3-4 pound swings from one day to the next. I was at 173 this morning though...up a pound from yesterday...Angie and I walked 3.5 miles yesterday, with the dogs, for our Saturday morning Starbucks....but then I had leftovers cheese enchiladas for breakfast
...but they sure were good
Angie just took off with the mutss for a 3 mile+ run, she is in training for her 10K Mud Run in 6 months. I will get some treadmill work in during football games.
CHRISTINA ~ WOW! First birthdays are so much fun...I am jealous
Although, even though my kids are 23 and 26 now, we still have fun getting together at birthdays when we can. We spent way too much money for toys and stuff when my kids were little...OK...
I spent too much $$$...I had so much fun with their toys
When we had b-d parties for the kids we just had a theme (cartoon,etc of the day) cake, then we just had family and friends over for BBQ or Pasta dinners. Always had a lot of fun...take lots of pictures! Great job on public speaking class....boy do I ever have trouble with that!! Have fun back in the lab
LAURIE ~ prayers for your young son as he "figures" out what he is going to do. I go through this with my nephew...he is so smart...scores very high on his testing but WILL NOT do his "job" on a steady basis. He has decided to join the NAVY in a few months when school is out. I think this will be good for him, however, I do not encourage or dis-courage it in any way. I just tell him to pray about it, do his research (we have many friends and family that are or have been NAVY) and make
HIS OWN decision. I tell him I will give him advice on college but not something so important as joining the military...all on his own there. I hope the weather clears for you. You sound like you were busy at church too!
SHY ~ I have not forgotten Angie's chicken caccitore recipe...she just wings it...she keeps saying she'll write it down...haven't seen it yet
Angie does most of her clothes shopping at Kohl's. I love the Nativity story...so awesome..even the "cremation"!
ROSEBUD ~Dang dear! More car trouble
I have been praying for your SWEETIE...so sorry
about the tumor. I am so not looking forward to my goldens aging, but they sure are...although a pain in my..., such an enjoyment now! Wishing great success on the WOPE dvd's. Our
prayer vigil will be in a week and a half. It will be for 24 hours starting at 6pm on Tuesday and ending at 6pm on Wed. The walk will be from 6pm until 11pm on the first day. The sanctuary will be open all 24 hours for those wishing to pray inside and don't want to do the walk. The walk will go around our church grounds, stopping at the youth group room ~ school classrooms ~ Pastor's office ~ music room ~ etc. Each stop will be about 10 minutes with prayers for each destinations concerns. Inside the church we will be praying for whatever people have put on their prayer cards. Everyone in the congregation will have the opportunity for prayer requests wether they come to the vigil or not. We all sign up for one or as many hours as you want. Angie will lead an hour of walk on the first night, I will go in at 3-5 am the next morning before work. There will be leaders for each hour.
