First Day of School







Today was the first day of school for my kids. Alex is a senior. I cannot believe how time has flown. We were just walking him into Mrs. Stroope's 1st grade class at Nebbie Williams Elementary. I still remember all his classmates from that year. I volunteered at the high school today and saw some of those sweet faces. I have such a love for them. He had a good first day and said all but one of his classes were blowoffs; which is just what he wants. Beth started 6th grade and it just seems like yesterday that she would have to be driven around to go to sleep. She loved her day, her schedule, and especially having lunch with her friends. Olivia started 4th grade. She was just born, it seems. She loves her teachers and gets to have PE with her good friends. All around, we had a good day. Now only 186 left!! Yahoo!

Worship at FBC Carrollton


My youngest and I went to see Travis Cottrell at FBC Carrollton one recent Sunday night. It was wonderful. We had a ball worshipping! We were able to get a picture afterward with Travis.
My daughter was just amazed at my sanguinity (I don't know if that is a word). We were coming out of the bathroom and two of the members of the praise team were in the hallway. Julie, one praise team member, and I just hugged like we had known each other for a long time. She and I could be dear friends if we lived by each other. I do believe that God does that for us; He can make us friends just for that moment. (I loved both of the girls, but Julie was the only one I hugged; she must be sanguine too.) They were so sweet to my daughter, liked my dress, and shop at TJ MAXX! I love that!
We had a great night of worship. Then, we got to see a wonderful lightning show on the way home. Incredible! God is good.
