I did it

Ok, I have taken the next step and volunteered to teach Sunday school. I have to admit, once I opened my mouth up, I felt completely calm and excited about the whole thing. I am looking forward to teaching. Just lots of preparation for a fly by the seat of your pants kid. Now for the events of the weekend. I was planning on a haircut but Abby was sick and that ended that idea. I was gonna try to make it to the Christmas village, but the cold weather is keeping me away...due to having to drag the girls out in the cold. However I am getting a date night with my hubby :) and that makes me very happy. More on the date night later. I am gonna have to get busy to see what there is to do. I want to go see the movie fireproof. I am kinda tricking him into it, by telling him its about a fire fighter. Have to let you know later if it works.

autumns glory

Looking around as I am busily running errands, I am constantly reminded of how majestic our God is. His masterpiece is evident around every turn and in every moment. I love the tapestry He has painted in autumn when the leaves are changing colors. Its even more vibrant just after a rain fall. At least I think that it is. I am begining to love autumn just a little more each year. I still long for the warm days of summer, but there is something refreshing in the crisp morning air. Seeing the leaves in all their glory, taking in the crisp air, just brings me to worshiping my Lord right there. I begin to stay in awe of the fact that the Creator of all this splendor made this just for me, well Maybe not just for me, but at that moment He had me take notice, so that moment in time is mine. He has moments like that for all of us. We just have to be willing to take part of them and to drink in the crisp air that He has left for us.

ponders from the soap box

So now that the election is over, everyone is in a up rival about what is gonna happen next. Well quite frankly i am not surprised that Obama won this election. The economy is bad now, but that is cyclical and whoever is in office when it hits bottom, well their party usually is not the one re-elected. I think that this country does need some changes made. We have got to stop our belly aching' and get on with getting things done. Enough on that one. To quote a good friend of mine...." i may have to follow the law of the land, but i am a child of the King of Kings". Ya know things aren't always gonna be peachy keen here on earth...Come on folks, this isn't our home. We are mearly strangers in a foreign land here. Enough on the soap box. More pondering to come later.
