It's crazy, Lisa, I don't know you well either, but I feel like I do through my sisters. It would be an honor to see you if you could make it. And you know where to find us if you find time. And, Ian, if there is a chance to meet in Oregon this summer, email me at the address on my post and we'll see if we can work it in.

I Hate Mending

There! That makes me feel better! I... ...detest ...abhor ...despise mending. I'm sure those of you who are virtuous mothers are shaking their heads and wondering what is the matter with me. I don't know where I missed it, but the pile of mending in my sewing center makes me cringe with hatred. Why do I wait until all of Allison's dresses are missing a button before I finally, grudgingly get out my needle and thread? Why does a dress hang for two years in my closet with chopped off sleeves that are only waiting for one seam? Why do John's Sunday pants lay over my bedroom chair for weeks before I finally get around to sewing the loophole back on? I've always hated repairing clothes.

My God, My Elohim

 Thoughts on Genesis 1-3 My God, Elohim, Creator of heaven and earth, and Creator of me. This is a personal reminder of his great plan for me.  We are living symbols on earth of His own self. He put within us the "breath of life." Something only He can give. The first covenant was broken by man, but praise be to my Creator, he provided a second covenant to bring us back to Him! Jesus paid the blood atonement for my sins and conquered death forever. Though our bodies die and decay, the Lord, my God will again plant the tree of life (Rev. 22:2) and we can once again experience an Eden (delight, a land of happiness) when we die and go to be with our Creator, our Redeemer, our Lord. The path of the just is as a shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. -Prov. 4:18
