I am just about to walk out the door to go to work.
The 2-10pm shift. At the store that draws problems and crazy people like a light attracts bugs.
And tomorrow (Easter Sunday), I work 8am-4pm.
It’s the first time in 7 years that I will have to work on Easter Sunday.
(Sigh.)
It’s made me think about Easter […]

After a hard-fought and hard-won battle over lunch today in which one child ate only grapes and the other went to bed crying and probably still pretty hungry, I verbalized this observation:
(Me, to Paul)
“I don’t think our children understand how fully committed I am to doing what is right for them.”
(God, to me)
“I was thinking […]

I found this note in my lunchbox yesterday.
I have never felt so appreciated in my life. It makes me want to cry.
And, because of that wonderful, loving note of gratitude from Paul, I felt like my work that day was an honor.
A privilege that I’d been given: a chance to help the family I love. […]

I’ve been meaning to blog about this for a couple of weeks now…but, alas, have not made the time. Having just arrived home from work, tired, jittery and a little bit cranky, it seems that now is the time.
We’ve been going to church at Oak Mountain Presbyterian Church (PCA) until we “land” somewhere permanently.
Every […]

So much for “normal.”
Yesterday we found out that the buyer for our house has backed out.
On the day of closing.
Yes, I know. This is now the second time we’ve sold our house, and the second time the buyer has backed out the very day it should have been sold for good.
[Sigh.]
What are the chances, right?
So […]

The Catbird Seat is currently undergoing some new aesthetic changes, per its developer’s decision (Paul). He felt it was high time to change.
I’m inclined to agree.
It’s still a work in progress, but I’d love to get your feedback.
So far, my only real complaint is the “Search” bar in the middle of my header. I […]

Pending a successful drug test result (no problem!), I am soon to be a Walgreens employee…hooray!
Granted, I still have to get 5 hours of continuing education (and pay several hundred dollars!) to activate my AL pharmacist’s license.
Though 5 hours may sound like a lot, it is actually not bad considering the 15 total that […]

In Beth Moore’s Believing God Bible study, the last of the 5 tenets of a pledge we recited (I know, it sounds ridiculous, but it was truly life-changing!) was this simple and profound statement:
The Word of God is alive and active in me.
When she taught the Scripture and support for this statement, she referenced the […]

As I have continued to listen and process the lyrics of singer/songwriter Eric Peters (see this post for background info), I have found myself increasingly drawn to a song entitled, “Save Something For Grace.”
Aside: I wish I new how to work our new-to-us $58 iMac, because it is here that I’d like to drop […]

We’re here.
After many long hours of travel on I-75 through Ocala, Gainesville, Valdosta, Tifton, Macon and finally Atlanta, then onto I-20 for another 3 hours due to road construction, Elizabeth, Jane and I made it to Birmingham tired but relatively happy.
Paul and best friend, Johnny, (and some help from my dad) made quick work unpacking […]
