Welcome to My Blog!
Schooling two active boys has never been more... interesting. That's the word I'm looking for!
I love my boys! God has given them the blessing of strong, active bodies and minds. We continually pray the first will remain intact, and the second will remain engaged with Him first, and then the school work. You'll meet my sweet sons, both entirely different, but both loving God to the best of their ability in the way He made them. I lovingly refer to them as my Bell Pepper Boy and my Habanero or Hambone. That should say it all!
This blog is an eclectic mix. The events, conversations, and the thoughts behind it all will be in here.
Every once in a while I'll try to capture something I don't want to forget. I hope you find things you enjoy. Please let me know if you do!
Blessings!

A Thinkin' Moment
Posted in Mom Things
My husband and I were taking the quick jaunt to our new little gym where we sweat fairly regularly these days. As we were on our way, we passed a place that I've always passed.
We drive right in front of a neat and tidy brick building. There is a circle drive that passes beneath a large, sheltering roof. There are quaint little light fixtures at the entrance and hanging over the circle drive. The lights in the parking lot fit the chosen "era" for the whole setting. Often a few people are standing outside, quietly talking or having a smoke. I always notice the people.
Some days the lot is completely bare. Some days the lot is full to capacity. Often there are just a few cars clustered, leaving the rest of the lot quiet and empty. I'm most sad when there are only a very few cars. It tends to speak volumes.
Do you know the place? Can you guess?
I've driven past this little funeral home as long as I've lived in the area. Oddly enough, I haven't been inside very often in all these years. Driving past this little building always elicits a response in my heart. It just does. When you drive past this little parking lot, you know why people are there. It's not like the cars at the grocery store, the mall, or the gas station.
I always notice the people standing just outside the doors under the roof. And, I always notice the cars in the parking lot. What volumes are contained in both!
This is, for me, just a moment to think, I suppose. Order my days, Lord, since the number of them is unknown to me. Let me consider these things in light of eternity: my days and the days of those around me.
