Simple

For today...
Tuesday, August 10, 2010

It's been some weeks since I've done a "Simple" entry. I suppose life has been too busy to be considered simple around here.

Outside my window... condensation. The air is so full of water outside it's gathering on the windows just begging to be let in.

I am thinking... of the things that need to be done to get our web ministry team kicked off at church. Our website is here! Take a look...input appreciated...

From the learning rooms... Mary is back in school and things seem to be going well there. Getting back into the school rhythms is always a little difficult, but ultimately good for the whole family. The Boy is away at jet school in Texas starting today. And E still has a few weeks before beginning her final year of high school. Hard to believe.

I am wearing... white cotton pants and a black shirt. I never used to wear black when I was younger. As a matter of fact, I hated it. Now I find myself wearing it more and more. Hmmm...

I am creating... nothing really at the moment. I'm starting Unit 5 Drawing Lab. The topic is "imagination." And I'm rolling around the weekWORD from Elisabeth. Hop over and leave a comment to play along with us.

I am reading... 2 Timothy, Chronicles, The Hobbit, Life as a Vapor, and various commentaries on Ephesians.

I am praying for... the women's Bible study on Ephesians I'm leading beginning in September. It's been some time since I've done anything like this and the first time at this particular church. Excited... nervous... apprehensive... willing... feeling unworthy... lots of different things going on in my mind.

Words I am pondering... as I am preparing to teach...

As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine, nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith. The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Certain persons, by swerving from these, have wandered away into vain discussion, desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions. (1 Timothy 1:3-7)

From the kitchen... not much happening there. I made yummy chicken pot pie last night.

I am hearing... dogs whining to be let in, dog paws click-clacking across the hardwood, dogs lapping up water and munching on food. Dogs, dogs, dogs! Yes, we still have The Boy and The Girl's BIG puppy still living with us. He's a great, great doggie and we love him. It's just that THREE dogs are ALOT all in one house! :-)

Around the house... cleaning out closets and the laundry room.... carting off bags and boxes to Good Will. Feels good to de-clutter, but there's much left to be done!

Here is a picture I am sharing... my sister's baby donkey and the mommy in Alabama. In addition to these cuties she has another donkey, a stocked pond, ducks, three dogs, various cats, a rabbit, and a miniature hamster. And I complain about three dogs... ? :-)
