Looking Through the Rain-Dropped Glass. Today i went into town with one of my friends to look for gifts for our friends, and simply to hang out. what could be a better thing to do on Monday, with no school, than going shopping with your girl friend? Yet in my wondering and wandering, He spoke, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you wil...Be than...

                                        The Woods and the World. Thursday, November 29, 2007. You're a great doctor (a parable). The man limped into the Doctor's office, knowing he didn't need an appointment. The Doctor came in immediately and looked at him with a mixed expression of warm recognition and familiar sadness. The man's open wounds and oozing sores seemed to pain the Doctor more than the patient. He knelt down and examined the wounds. Thanks for seeing me, you're a great doctor.". The Doctor started to carefully clean the wounds.

I am alive and functioning, though I feel like the months are flowing by. Wasn't it just yesterday that Sean and I took a trip to NY to see his parents, ending with him having the flu through Christmas? Oh yeah, that was 2 1/2 months ago! Familiar town (one town over from where I've lived my whole life). Familiar friends (same bffs since 1980s!

It was a fun get away!

                                        And one more on the way. Wednesday, August 15, 2012. You know you're a mom of boys when. Our male-dominated household is noisy and amusing. There is certainly never a dull (or quiet) moment around here. Wherever there is a group of boys there is fun to be had- and it usually involves some kind of mischief. There are many fascinating and perplexing moments that occur every day in the life of a mom of boys. These are just a few of mine from recent days:. You keep a collection of 'treasures' on top of the d...

                                        And one more on the way. Sunday, January 22, 2012. We certainly enjoyed a truly wonderful Christmas. The days surrounding Christmas were filled with good times with family and friends. We thank God for the many blessings of 2011 and that we can celebrate the gift of his Son at Christmas. Jesus is the only way that we can be rescued from the penalty of our sins. What a wonderful gift! Tuesday, January 17, 2012. As a mom of boys, every day is filled with new and exciting adventures. Welcome to my world!

These are all direct quotes from this pregnancy.and to think I have 14 more weeks to go.
