lazy Sun Days

We cancelled church yesterday early so when we woke up this morning and it was sunny, I was like oh no, we could have had church. Looking forward to tonight and seeing "our flock" that we missed this am. We have been sooo lazy today! It has felt nice but now I must face the music--clean the bedroom while I listen to praise music. It makes a yukky task fun. See ya'll later, strawberry girl2

Good Friends, Good Food

I had a typical day at work. We went to supper with great friends - Jim and LouEllen Osteen. What a great time we had. He is the transitional pastor at Union Baptist Church in Iva. We laughed and laughed and laughed. Nothing better than good friends and time to chat and share.....

Saturday pm musings

We got alot of things done today. Slept late.....felt sooooo good. We took the kids (our dog, Bailey, and our granddog, Dooley) with us to the dump. They love to ride anywhere!!! I had a huge amount of paper to recycle, two bags of trash, and a huge bag of plastics to recycle. Then we picked up limbs from the front yard. Then we went grocery shopping. Never take an adult child with you. They are worse than a middle schooler. Buy this, buy that!!! He drove me CRAZY!!!!! Home to watch Clemson get beat by Duke and to do the bulletin and prayer list.

Visiting Partners

Some of you may know that my husband is a pastor. Today, we went visiting. We haven't done that in a while. I have forgotten how much fun that it is. You go to see someone with the suposition that you are ministering to them and you are the one that ends up being ministered to. We have such sweet people at Poplar Spring and we enjoyed visiting with three of them today. First was Sandra Lollis and her mother, Mrs. Simpson. Mrs. Simpson had taken a muscle relaxer for her tight muscles in her neck and she was, what's the saying, out like a light. We had a great visit with Sandra and her daughter, Stacy. Then we went to check on Joe and Margaret Furguile. Margaret has been sick forever with a terrible cough and almost pneumonia. If it's not Mrs. Margaret, you have missed a good chance. That cough is still deep and she's on her second round of antibiotics. Please pray for these two ladies when you have your quiet time.
And last, please pray for Haiti as the aftershocks that have been strong too. Haiti has a special place in my heart as it was the destination of my first mission trip. We came into Port-au-Prince then took an 8 hour truck ride to San Michel. It sounds so glamourous but it was not. We in the US have much to be grateful for and we pass it by so quickly and just assume it will always be there. Please don't anymore!! I've been off a week so I'll get off of my soapbox now. Good night or good morning!

Perfect End to a Day

I had an admission in Iva of all places. Then I finished my day. I went to have a massage and oh, my heaven, it was wonderful. If you have never gotten a massage, do yourself a favor and get one. It will not be your last, I promise. It is so relaxing!!!! Had a wonderful dinner with the fam and a friend, Derek. Now, gonna have some chillaxin' that's country for chilling and relaxing, ya'll.

Long day at work but I was finished at 7:00 pm. I am staying up too late at night. That's gotta stop. I'm gonna try for 12:oo tonight. We'll see if it happens ((*-*))

The Second Week in January

I can't believe that it is the second week of January. My son is back at school and my daughter left yesterday and starts class on Wednesday. I still can't believe that they are back already. Before you know it, it will be May and they'll be out again. So on James and I go with their lives. I'm working and so is James. Please pray for him, he's looking for another job to supplement our income. It is hard with 2 kids in college. There is more and more happening at our church, Poplar Spring. If you're in the Anderson/Iva area, come and join us. We're having fun learning more about Jesus and having so much fun.

Happy New Year

The party is over, Elvis has left the building, the fat lady has sung............Whatever your line, it's back to work tomorrow am. At least, I work from home and my commute is from the bedroom to the office, a mere 20 feet. Don't be hatin' me for that!!!! Keep awake at work tomorrow am and may it go by fast!!!!

The nurse in action

My husband and daughter were/are sick. I was the nurse/mom last night, cleaning up, pouring drinks- Sprite, and rubbing backs. So glad they are moving around and feeling better today. Not that I mind but my fibro is acting up today. They are my nurses today. I have a great family. I'm also glad that Joshua is not here to get sick. I pray this isn't what the new year is going to be like all year!!!!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to everyone. We just returned home from church, ringing in the new year. We had a great devotion by my honey (the pastor) and a wonderful breakfast cooked by the men. Yummy!!!! Time to chillax and go to bed soon. Sweet Dreams!!!
