Not Me Monday


Today is a day off from school and I changed my work schedule to be at home today with the kids. While attempting to come up with an interesting post or attempt to use my day of lounging around into a way to encourage others to be their best...I found "Not Me Monday".

Not Me! Monday is a list of all the things that there is no way in tarnation I did this week. And if anyone says that they saw me doing any of these things, they are totally lying.

So, it was Not Me! who pulled a bowl from the deep freezer and planned to feed to the dog, when under the freezer burn discovered that it was a dish of Italian Sausage and Pasta. So, it was definitely Not Me! who put it in a baking dish, sprinkled it with cheese and served it up for Sunday lunch!

It was Not Me! this morning who decided to wait until after my workout to get dressed...it is now 12:46 and guess what??? Still in the pajamas.

It was Not Me! this morning who let my kids sleep until nearly 11:00 AM so I could have some uninterrupted computer time. But as I rationalized, they will work hard later in the day, because someone - Not Me! still has the undecorated Christmas tree in the living room that needs to be put up.

Well, now that someone Not Me! feels better, they should get up, get dressed and get to work! Happy Monday!

Paths of Prayer

Today, I'm joining up with Five Minute Friday, a fun writing opportunity to connect and share a quick thought on this week's theme "Path". For many years, when coming across a Scripture about 'paths', it turned into a prayer and desire to be led down God's open paths. Through the years of life which included, marriage, keeping a home, job, raising children and as they began to explore their own paths, seeking God and His paths became a vital part of life and prayer.  As God's Word reveals God's goodness and His ways, I want to be walking - living a lifestyle on the paths that He leads.  Some of my favorite 'path' verses include: Proverbs 4:18 "But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day."   Psalm 25:4,  "Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths,"  Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding; in all your way...

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

Construction, Challenges, Chaos

 Who knew something simple could erupt into something chaotic so quickly? A broken file cabinet forced us to purchase a new one. We found one online, ordered it and it arrived quickly with a do it yourself assembly book, complete with 24 part packages and 18 steps of instructions!  As we unpacked the items and compared with the instruction book, we realized a part was missing. Customer service was called, a replacement part was quickly received. Except, the screws did not fit into the holes on the replacement part. We tried again, received another part, same issue.  Meanwhile, the 24 packages of parts are spread out on my living room floor, customer service does not understand my issue, they asked for photos which were sent and now we are again, waiting for a part.  It seems every project faces the inevitable delay. My work place is undergoing a floor remodel. Upheaval, dust, packing, lots of inconvenience and depending on the work crew's schedule dictate the next fe...
