Dancing in the Rain

Hey, y'all! :) I got today's quote out of a little book by Matt Redman (he wrote the popular praise song, "Heart of Worship") called The Unquenchable Worshipper . I'm only about three chapters into it, but so far it's been great! Anyway, here's the quote... "The consequence of abandonment never enters into our outlook, because our lives are so taken up with Him." --Oswald Chambers Thanks to those of you (Amber and Vanessa) who posted comments on my "trying something new..." post to let me know you can see it. :) Y'all are so sweet! So, it kind of worked...I was trying the post-something-to-the-blog-via-email thing using my cell phone (since the actual Blogger mobile thing won't work with our cell provider). The good news is, you can see what I was trying to post. The bad news is, I had to edit it because it also had all this other stuff from where it had to go through the Alltel web server or whatever. :P So, I can use the e-ma...

Maybe that's an odd title for a blogpost, but I was drawing a blank and that's what I'm going to talk about, so... :D Today I'm kinda proud of myself.

We're going to spend most of the day at the Astles' house, hanging out with them. We'll get to meet the youngest Astle, little Christopher who was born last October. That's the ...

Hey, all!! Well, so technically it's not actually Tuesday anymore, but hey... *shrug* close enough, right? :D I thought this was a fitting tidbit for St. Patrick's Day: Windmills always turn counter-clockwise. Except for the windmills in Ireland. On a not-so-lighter note, y'all may remember me posting the "pray for Jonah" request a week or so ago, and/or you may have seen Jonah's button over to the left. I just wanted to remind y'all to keep praying for Jonah, and his precious mommy and daddy. Patrice's post today made me cry...they are really going through the wringer right now. They're supposed to get the specific diagnosis on Jonah tomorrow (or later today...Wednesday!), so please remember them in your prayers especially on this day.
