Things have been going OK here in the city. The drama from a few weeks ago has cleared up, to be replaced by drama from the church secretary who feels that she can not only boss my husband around, but take him down a peg or two in the Theology Department.
Rob is amazing and kindhearted [...]

Rose Colored Glasses
This song, Rose Colored Glasses, is one I remember from early childhood. It’s by John Conlee.
“These rose colored glasses that I’m looking through
show only the beauty and hide all the truth.”
I got my little heart broken today. Or yesterday, maybe both.
I guess I have one question to ask. Just one.
I won’t judge you if you [...]

VACATION!!!!! YEAH!
Just got home last night. I wrote this yesterday.
The best thing I can think of about this vacation is actually more than one thing.
The food. Garrett has cooked for us nonstop since we arrived. He’s not gourmet, but man is he ever close. WOW! Melon and chocolate the first night. Eggs, ham, cheese and potato [...]

New Home in My Old Hometown
So I was checking out Stormy’s (former foster daughter’s) MySpace today and it says she is moving back to the town that Rob and I just moved from a few months ago. It’s also the town WHERE I WORK.
I have a couple of problems with this, manily that Stormy is a shoplifter and I don’t [...]

Lucy in the Sky
Oh sweet Lucy girl.
When last you heard from me, I mentioned about having too many kids to fit in my car, so Rob and I were both going to drive a car-load of kids to church today. That did happen. We brought 8 of the 14 which were there. One of those children is Lucy, [...]

The Best Problems
I am in the middle of having a really good problem. I can’t think of too many problems which are good, but this one is, my friends.
There’s not enough room in my car to pick up all the kids who want to come to Sunday School. There are 5 who live all together in the [...]

Thorough Exhaustion
I am skipping Lent Services tonight. I am making Soup for their dinner, but I just cannot go on like this. Sundays are MARATHON days that begin at the church around 8 and let up around 3, then back on again at 5, and home around 10. I keep thinking I might die, and the [...]

HOW LONG since I’ve been here?
Sheeeeesh, Jayleigh.
OK, so today is our two week anniversary living in the Big City. I am no longer calling it the Little Big City… because when you drive around, and when you get to know it, it’s really rather big. Way bigger than the Little Big City out in the [...]

All the Blessings
All the blessings I can think of are right here, right now:
Mindy came today to help pack up and move out. It was good to see her and talk with her. My sweet Mindy Lou Who.
Rob is amazing. I already knew that, but reading through our letters from High School and after, I see that [...]

Jesus is Boring?
Yesterday was our last Sunday at Middleton.
A week ago, church was cancelled because of extreme cold, snow, and wind. Because of this, the children’s Christmas Program was moved to yesterday. The little ones acted out the narration about the shepherds, sheep, angels, and wisemen. As usual, the under-4 crowd played sheep. Included in this number [...]

Merry Christmas 2008
Every single thing is changing. Nothing is left out. But the Lord is still on His throne. He will provide. He alone is my strength and salvation. Praise to His name. Amen.
