A Sport or Not A Sport?

Not. My proof: you have to get up at 6am on a Saturday to go watch it, and while you are there you have to whisper.

Shhh! Don't tell my in-laws who just took Gary there for the day that I said that.

Speaking of sports, the Mavs are really trying to drag this out, aren't they?

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

 
Scary, huh?

It is probably quite harmless, in spite of its looks. I know people like that too. 

Hibiscus

Sometimes things work like they are supposed to, and the result is beautiful.

My still photo turned out to be an action photo.

In other news, Rachel found herself in an interesting situation today. She wants to apply for an open 2nd grade position at another Christian school, but to sign their Statement of Faith means stretching her interpretation of the work of the Holy Spirit in the believer's life. I think she signed it, but added a note stating her slightly different position. We'll see if that will cause them to not even consider her application.

Your prayers are appreciated for her to find a job.

Back To Square One

Sometimes it just feels like my faith is being tested. Of course, that is predicted and shouldn't surprise me, huh? The current test is another disappointment that Rachel is having to endure. She did nothing wrong to end up in this situation, but that is small comfort when her hopes are dashed to the ground. Please be in prayer for God to give her peace, faith, and courage. And while you're praying for her, ask God to give me peace, faith, and wisdom to know how much or how little I should be involved. Sigh.

Mother's Day

This probably wasn't the very best Mother's Day I've ever had in my life, but I did find joy in hearing the sweet voice of my child singing in church.

Another child handed me a check for car insurance--I guess that made me happy too!

And I did get an very nice unexpected card in the mail that warmed my heart. Thanks, Chris and Mandie! You made me smile.
