The highest achivement in, perhaps, my entire life...

OK. I have just created a myspace account and subsequently, been added to Jess' top eight list! I know, I know. This is the stuff dreams are made of. I have to stop typing now because the tears may start to flow. So much emotion....

As soon as I figure out how to use myspace, I'll invite you to take a peek. Have a blessed night and PRAY HARD for SNOW tomorrow night!!! It's comin'!!!

That's all I have to say about that.

What I learned in school today...

1. A two hour delay makes sixth graders very hyper (like they needed help with that).
2. A child having an asthma attack will leave large sweat marks on a gym floor (and that I can run up a flight of steps in about 7 seconds to get an inhaler from the office)
3. When you bring leftover pizza for lunch, they honestly think you'll give them a bite if they look pitiful enough (OK...she got a piece of sausage out of me).
4. Be careful how you pronounce schist (it's a metamorphic rock).
5. When kids do something wrong, somehow it's never their fault.

I'm learning so much in school this year...

Big plans for Friday night...

Don't envy my exciting life when you read all that I have planned for tonight. I finally picked up the new DDR Extreme 2 tonight and am looking forward to getting my groove on. My friend, Jess, is coming over to join me. I think we may do a little Karaoke Revolution Party, too. I may bake some brownies or something.

Oh, now I've gone and make you all jealous. I'm sorry.... OK. Not really. Hope your Friday is half as exciting as mine :-)

Joy

I was thinking about joy yesterday. We typically associate joy with happiness. What if that's not at all what God intended joy to be? The Bible says to count it all joy when we face trials and suffering (I think that's James 2. I suppose I should get up and check) so that doesn't seem to make any sense. How can happiness be connected with trials and suffering? How can we put into practice in our everyday lives that joy is something that is within, based on the fact that God is ultimately in control? Nothing is a surprise to Him or out of His control. That alone should give us the peace that passes all of our natural understanding, which, ultimately, is what true joy is about.

That's what I think, anyway...

Cub

This is my son, Caleb. He went to be with Jesus almost 4 months ago now. I miss him terribly. He was such a sweet kid. You can see more about Cub here I'm sure I'll talk about him quite a bit....

My First Blog

Wow. It's like my first big girl shoes or something but they're not pink with bows. Huh. Let the randomness begin!
