acappella--lead me to rest

I listened to this group daily as I drove to nursing school classes every day in the mid 1990s.....and I learned good scripture from them.  Thinking of this today as I rest......

Claire, my dining room table, church

-
Today Claire came home from work and we sat at the table for awhile.  Oh boy, if my dining room table could talk......there are more memories soaked into this table that I can recount, and more tears and bursts of laughter than I can ever remember.  There are more lists and memos and plans etched into it that I could ever save...... She is making her lists for moving to college.  It's true that she is only moving a couple hundred feet away to the college in our town, but she is still moving out.  She is taking all of the things she uses every day and she is setting up a life in a dorm on a college campus with a new roommate and a whole new world.  In 4 days we will move her out.  It is so weird.  It is the weirdest thing ever.  Adding children to our home is not weird at all.  Figuring out how to send them out is.  I'm less sad and more....conflicted, maybe.   I am so excited for her.  Moving to college is probab...

a catch up post.....a bit long....a bit more that I meant to write.....

-
Today we were talking and somehow we came to the topic of my blog.  Both of my teen boys got weird.....they do not want to be the topic of my blog so if I said they were not, they were relieved.  I don't know that they read it but they know it exists. ( That is so weird to me. ) That my kids are now aware that I write publicly and that they are freaked out if I write about them is having an impact. I need to respect the privacy of my children.....and I need to be able to vent at the end of my day.  This blog has been that place for me for years and years....so I'm trying to sort out the next phase of it.  I love to write.  I NEED to write.  If I don't write and share, I will write and throw away as I did for years and years before blogging was a thing.  I like that other people relate to what I say and feel like their lives are the same.....I like to feel like I am helpful, challenging, and relevant. I have had a long season blogging and feeling h...

anniversary thoughts

-
In a handful of days, Roger and I will celebrate our anniversary.  Our 20th wedding anniversary.  This, friends, is a big, big deal.  As a young girl, I didn't expect to marry or have children.  God planted a longing in my heart in my mid-20s to have a husband and children.....and so I began to pray.  My prayers were answered and on September 21, 1996, I became a wife.  Often I heard that the first year of marriage was the hardest but we didn't experience that at all.  We had so much fun!  We worked hard, travelled, bought antiques and practical furniture.....we spoiled each other for Christmas and birthdays...... We were warned about a "7 year itch" where married people sometimes wander away from their vows and commitment to each other.  7 years into our marriage we had 3 children and needed each other desperately.....and loved the home and family we were creating......and didn't want to look else where or itch anything.  Here we...
