…here’s a few things that have been happening and are about to. A Holy Spirit prompt and a little time taken from Women’s Boot Camp last night to celebrate the engagement of Becky ~ 2nd from the left. We had a sparkling cider toast. Then we got down to business ~ The Doctrine of the Trinity. That’s right.
We returned from Cape Cod on Sunday evening and hit the ground running. Before that though, we enjoyed a whole day in our pajamas in front of the TV at a friend’s home there on the Cape. It was rainy and the perfect day to do nothing but sit in front of the TV. We watched the UT game (during which I attempted to study) and then the Baylor game, which was the wildest, craziest, most amazing come-back of a game I have ever seen. (And I know FOR SURE that I have NEVER watched that much football in one day.)
We climbed the Pilgrim Monument Tower to see it. 116 steps to the top.

That’s all for now. I’m overwhelmed by the weekend’s activities:
- An all-day field trip to Boston with 30 homeschoolers tomorrow
- An all-day teen girls’ conference on Saturday with Kayla and a few moms and friends
- A Saturday evening church gathering at a local restaurant to kick off the 15 year anniversary weekend celebration
- A combined worship service and catered lunch afterward with lots of folks from out of town here to celebrate 15 years with us.
- A haircut (very important ~ ha!)
All good stuff, but my mid-term exam (due Monday by midnight) and the research paper rough draft (due next weekend) and the need to prep to speak at a weekend retreat next weekend have me totally overwhelmed. I could hardly focus to pray or read my Bible this morning and I kinda feel like running away.
Actually, I am about to run away ~ all the way down the street to Barnes and Noble. Going to open up my class notes and start studying and organizing them. Hoping to get at least a couple of hours in. Cooper and Kayla are going with me. We all have work to do in order to have a day off for a field trip tomorrow, and, and, and…
Trying to meditation this:
Also ~ I so much want to write about our 15 years here as a church, and the church planting adventure we’ve been on for that long, so maybe it will just be a bit delayed ~ like maybe until we’re 16 or 17 years old ~ who knows?!
Okay ~ bye for now!
Pray for me?
