Random Thoughts

• I was wondering if this was my first ever bullet-point post but then I realized that the very last post I did had bullet points. I'm such a dork...


• If and when I ever get upstairs to download some pictures from my camera (not that going upstairs is a problem....the problem is the DINOSAUR computer that the camera dock is connected to coupled with my lack of patience), I have a tutorial post to do regarding some art pieces that I made for my sister's new nursery.


• Our Men's Ministry is having a camping trip tonight....all of the guys are so excited. It's perfect camping weather. Or, at least, I'm assuming it is...I actually don't think that there is such a thing.


• Some time ago, I mentioned a diet but have never followed up on this blog. I actually have lost 14 pounds and have begun to form what feels like some good lifelong habits as it regards eating and exercising. I am very encouraged and looking forward to looking and feeling much different come June 2009 when Jeff and I take a cruise for our 20th anniversary.


• I am currently participating in a study of the book of Ephesians on Sunday nights at church. Wow!


• I am also in a Tuesday morning Bible Study. We are studying Priscilla Shirer's book, "When God Speaks: Discerning the Voice of God". Double Wow!!!


• My boys are on Fall Break (Thursday - Monday).


• Jordan is spending this long weekend in Atlanta with Barry & Wendy. I miss him but hope he's enjoying himself.


• Braeden has his buddy, Henry, over for some fun. They have been scarce around here; mostly playing Wii and showing up occasionally for something to eat or drink.


• I don't think that Braeden has one pair of pants from last year that he can wear this Fall/Winter. He has grown upward and outward and a shopping trip is in order.


• Something happened in the last week or so that made me really think about who is actually reading my blog. I do know that total strangers read it and I'm okay with that. I also know that friends and family read it and I'm obviously okay with that. I think that the problem, for me, came when I realized that people that I know or have known but who, for instance, would probably not even speak to me in public were reading my blog; and not only were they reading it but they felt it necessary to tell something that was posted here; apparently thinking it was big news (but it wasn't). I guess my point is....I prayerfully consider everything that I type on this blog. I do not have anything to hide. I write here to journal what's going on in my life and the lives of many people that I love. I write here, sometimes, in hopes that something that God is speaking unto my life, will touch someone else. I write to share and to encourage, to make someone smile and/or to make them think.
