What’s next?

In about six weeks we will be saying “Goodbye” to all that is familiar, and a “few” hours later, saying “Hello” to everything new! I appreciate the experience of the last two years.

Cry, curse, or chuckle

Today we… …found out that we payed too much for our house! I’m praying that God comes through big on this one!

Highlights (5/16/07)

Bible Proverbs 25:11-13 – “Timely advice is as lovely as golden apples in a silver basket. Valid criticism is as treasured by the one who heeds it as jewelry made from finest gold.

After church thoughts (5/13/07)
