Struggling To Find Ourselves

Well, folks, I think it’s about time to run….again!!!  I have to run to a nearby town and do some errands and such.  Thankfully, it SHOULD be a short jaunt today, unlike it turned out to be yesterday.  But, I won’t have much time, maybe a couple of hours, between when I get done with my errands and when I need to go get my son from school, so I may pop back on at another one of the libraries instead of going home for that couple of hours.  It’s ALMOST not worth going home some times when I only have a couple of hours.  I JUST get comfortable at the house after running my errands, and then it’s time to leave again.  And I DO have some computer stuff that I can do here at the libraries, so coming back to the library instead of going home wouldn’t be such a bad thing, maybe.

Anyway….take care, and God Bless!!!!

I updated our reading page with the books that we read in the last part of January the other day.  I don’t think we’ve done too bad, considering it’s only the middle of February!!!  I have to admit that I have kind of enjoyed being able to read so much the last few months!!!  We have read some REALLY good books, and some that aren’t quite as good.  And we have SOOOOOOO many more that we plan on reading in the next few months!!!!

More later….God Bless!!!!

…that maybe I’m not doing too bad on my Bible reading, so far this year.  I finished reading II Kings to my son last night when he was going to bed.  I haven’t been reading every day with everything going on, but I haven’t been doing too bad, I don’t think, and I’m trying to get more regular again with my reading.

I also think that maybe, JUST maybe, the Pastor for the church across the street from us has been reading the current chapter of my life.  He has been doing sermons on getting Satan to flee from you, and waiting on God when it seems like you’ve already waited too long and are tired.  Interesting, ain’t it?

More later….God Bless!!!

Yep, that would DEFINITELY describe our house lately!!!  It seems like, since the holidays, we have been running around like chickens with our heads chopped off!!!  Our calendar hasn’t really been that full, like it was a few months ago, but it’s the little things that come up unexpectedly that have been keeping us busy.  And, frankly, it doesn’t look like “the little things” are going to slow down much any time soon.  Oh well, at least we don’t have 10 appointments every week like we did here awhile back!!!

More later….God Bless!

The last day or so has been SOOOOO nice, temperature-wise, compared to what we HAVE been having!!!  And tomorrow and Saturday are supposed to be even warmer!!!  I know ALOT of people that say they are more than ready for Spring temperatures!!!  I just smile when they say that, and tell them that Spring will be here soon, and they just look at me kind of funny.  Can I help it if I notice that the trees are budding with leaves and that the wild geese and ducks have been more active than normal?  Can I help it if my grass is turning greenish and starting to grow JUST a little bit?  Can I help it if the animals are acting a tad weird, and some of them are acting just downright twitterpated (anyone remember “Bambi”?)?  Ahhhhh, Spring IS coming, I can feel it in my bones and I can see it in the world around me!!!  Thank GOD for Spring!!!

God Bless!!!

Well, I think I need to go do something else for a bit, so you all take care, and we’ll be back to ramble at you over the weekend or something.  Have a good weekend, and try to stay warm!!!  And just think….Spring and mowing season are JUST around the corner!!!!  (Maybe sooner than some folks think!!!)

God Bless!!!

Yep, it’s 2009 already!!!  I am SOOOOO glad that the holidays are over!!!  Why, you ask?  Because they were a milestone for us!!  Get past them, and we have SEVERAL things we can look forward too!!!  There are going to be alot of things happening in our lives this year…some will be small happenings, and others will not be so small.  I believe that they will ALL be for OUR good, though, with the help of God’s promises and a little bit of faith!!!

God Bless!!

Yep, you guessed it…it’s almost time to be filing tax returns again!!!  A couple of people I know are REALLY looking forward to getting their W-2’s and other necessary tax forms from different places, and getting their returns filed!!!  It’s hard to believe that it’s already that time of year again!!!

We shouldn’t do too bad this year, considering.  The extra money will be NICE!!!  Maybe even put some in a savings account somewhere?  Now, THAT’S a novel idea, isn’t it?

God BLESS!!!

…Another dollar….or so the saying goes!!!

I’ve got something that is SUPPOSED to resemble dinner in the crockpot, though whether it’s edible or not is ANYONE’S guess at this point.  It’s one of those “I have some of this and this, so let’s throw them in the crockpot and see what happens” type things.  No, actually, it’s SUPPOSED to be a soup-type thing, but we’ll see how it turns out before I say that it’s DEFINITELY a soup.  Have you ever done that?  Thing you are fixing a soup, and have it turn out more like a stew or something?

My boy is at school, at the moment.  He’s doing pretty good in most areas, and the one’s he’s having difficulties in, we have been working on at home when we’ve got the time and feel like it.

I’ve done SOME Bible reading already this morning.  I don’t know if I’m done for the day or not, though.  We’ll have to see what happens, and what my mood is later.

More later on our not-so-exciting life, maybe…God Bless!!!

Yep, as you may have guessed by the title of this entry, I will be updating our 2009 book list in the next few days.  We haven’t been reading a WHOLE lot, but we’ve read another 2 or 3 or 4, with some more that are almost done.  How many books have YOU read so far this year?
