She Said, He Said

Last Sunday, Grace Church had a sermon that really made me think. It's actually part of a 4 part series that started the week before on the Song of Songs. It's titled "She Said, He Said". It covers a subject that I haven't heard in many church's but seems vital for everyone to hear. Our pastor said if he could summarize the importance of it he'd say it this way:

Healthy sexuality, love and fidelity in relationships are as much on the mind of God as prayer, justice, mercy, and spiritual growth. 

This sermon had some wonderful insights for married couples, those going through divorce, those who have been widowed, and singles. I'd like to encourage you to visit the Grace Church website to see the entire sermon. You can listen to a podcast from the site or just read it if you prefer. The website is on my list of favorite sites just to the left if you want to check it out. I hope you will. 

Boot Camp!

Have any of you ever been to a workout boot camp? One word.....OUCH!!!!!! I went with a friend on Monday and last night was the first night I could move without crying about it. I had plans to go back Wednesday night but I could barely walk let alone workout like that again. I could have gone back last night but chose to spend the evening with my husband instead. Monday is the next class. I am there for sure this time but I hope it won't be as painful. Pain means progress though, right? 

A River Story

Click on the title "A River Story" below to see some cool scenes from where we grew up. There is a great view of the river that looks just like some of the views from Uncle Paul's new place on the farm and Aunt Sheila's place. Aunt Sheila's is on the market so whoever buys it will have beautiful views like some of these to enjoy. Hmmm...this may make me just a little home sick.

Happy New Year!

Wow, I can't believe it's 2009! Where did the time go? We have all had many blessing over the years. I pray everyone can look back and appreciate all of the people and situations that helped shape who we are today. 

Wishing everyone a Happy & Prosperous 2009! 

Twilight

Okay, I just got home from watching the movie Twilight with my friend Jess. The movie was great and I am now looking forward to reading the book but, I've got to tell you, I think we were 2 of maybe 4 people in the entire theatre that were over the age of 20. I officially feel old! I could not help myself from wondering if I was as irritating at that age. I'm sure I was. For some reason, a group of girls across from us thought they were watching a comedy. There were some humorous moments but WOW, they took it to a different level. Hmmmm....I really am old! I think I actually forgot what it was like to be a carefree teenager. haha

Merry Christmas! I'm back!

I know, it's been a while. I can't believe this is only my second post for December. It's been a crazy busy month! I hope you all had a great Christmas! It was fun to see some of you while I was home. I wish we could have had more time to visit. It's too hard to catch up at the parties. Too little time for so many people. You know what I mean? 

I'll have more pics of our Christmas soon but attached are some fun 1st Christmas pics of Miya. I had to use Jen's camera this year for pics back home so I need her to send them to me before I can post them. 

Take Care!

Christmas Party

We had such a fun Christmas party last night! It was so great to see everyone! Attached is one of our group photos. A lot of people were playing games so we couldn't get a group photo of everyone but these are some of my favorite girls.
