At one point in time, I had designated Mondays as what I called "Heart-Renewal Day." And wouldn't you know it, it evolved into simply "WORK @ home Day." It's that virus of "Busy-ness," attacking my senses again. I would find that my other work days had "bleed-over" that was creeping into my renewal time. WELL, NO MORE!! I'm TAKIN' IT BACK! :-)

I've got to set aside the time to keep my sanity. Time to waste, with no agenda, except to reconnect with my Lord, to be renewed by His Spirit.

One of my favorite recording artists... Jill Paquette

You won't be disappointed... this is SMART, FAITHY stuff.

Emily has successfully taught herself to play the melody of "76 Trombones" (from The Music Man) on her little Casiotone piano. Quite an ear, she's got.

Today, Emily recited Psalm 23 from memory. She's got at least a 10-year head start on her old man! :-)

A fresh, cold braeburn apple and a hunk of smoked gouda cheese has GOT to be one of the GREATEST breakfasts in the world. The flavor combo is downright earthy.

Last book we read: "Dumbing Us Down" by John Taylor Gatto. If you want your children to turn out to be helpless automatons, products of the "Mass-schooling machine," then DON'T read this book. It's for counter-culturists only.

As written in my bound journal, on May 1, 2002:
“I have no aspirations to be a huge bonfire in Christendom. Just a single, simple flame.”

WELCOME TO OUR BLOG!!

This is our first jump into the waters of "blogging." I'm not sure what's going to show up here from day to day, but it's a good place to start, to find out what's going on with us. Speaking of water, we're off to a fountain park with the kids.
