I love finding songs when I'm reading the Bible. They're not just in Psalms, ya know. I was reading in the book of Numbers (yes, you can read Numbers) last night, when I came across the scripture where Moses declared "Rise up, O LORD! May your enemies be scattered; may your foes flee before you." (10:35) Moses said this every time the cloud of the LORD lifted from the tent of meeting & set out

Where to start?Jim put together a new twin bed + trundle for Abbie's toy room/new room. She will be moving to her new room & new bed on her 4th birthday later this month. We're driving to Raleigh (Apex) this afternoon to pick up a new mattress for the bed. We will be visiting with Jim's brother, Doug & his family before heading back to Jacksonville.Jim, Abbie & I travelled to Michigan for a visit

This week, many people will reflect upon the cross, what Jesus did there & what He does for them every day, in their own personal lives. It's Easter week! He is risen!Many of us will dye eggs, hide treasure-filled baskets for the little ones, fly kites & grill out with friends & family. Some us us will go to church & remember the holiday by participating in The Lord's Supper. It's spring! New

I saw a fetal medicine specialist on March 5th. I'll be seeing him for the remainder of my pregnancy, as well as my regular midwife. His equipment is much more advanced than the military clinic. He said that the placenta/uterus was working fine (on the ultra sound), so he wasn't too concerned about the subchorionic hematoma. I've been bleeding "old" blood (brown) since I went to the ER for the

I started a blog so I could write about little daily things that I didn't want to forget. That is what this post is--daily details to remember. Last Friday we had a scare. I was having some pain--lots of pain. I figured I'm old & pregnant & pain is part of the territory. So I laid down on the bed for a bit. I called Jim & left a message on his voice mail. (He just got the message yesterday--great

Jim & I made our first trip to Michigan, as a married couple, in August 1997. This would be Jim's first time to meet my family & friends, so we were both excited.We were driving up from Jacksonville, NC. As we travelled on I-75, coming out of Toledo, OH, and into the always-present construction in that area, we were looking for the "Welcome to Michigan" sign.We were in bumper to bumper traffic.

Abbie picked up the cat today. (Abbie is only 3.5 years old.) She has tried, unsuccessfully, to pick up the cat in the past, but today, she actually accomplished her goal. You should have seen the look on the cat's face/ears--"I can't believe she is doing this!" I wish I had a camera at that moment. If you know my cat, Kirei aka Booboo, then you would know that NO ONE touches the cat, except

O.K. So I started a blog. Don't know how far I'll go with it.I'll be pasting my notes from FB here, so if you've already read them all, then you're in for a repeat. If not, sit back & get comfortable--I'm long winded.

Looking for dawn, Friday, 01/30/2009 at 4:45pm on FBAs I throw my legs over the bed, my feet search for my slippers, situated on the floor next to the bed. I slide my feet in, grudgingly rise, & shuffle my way through the darkness, to the bathroom. I take joy in the fact that at this time, I’m only making one trip to the bathroom each night. Very soon, I will need to make multiple trips to the

Where we goin’? Wednesday, January 14, 2009 at 7:47pm on FBEvery morning when Abbie wakes up, she asks me two questions. The first one, “what day is it?”. Then, “where we goin’ today, Mom?” She’s 3 ½. Surprisingly enough, Abbie knows that on Sunday, we go to church. On Wednesday, we go to Walmart. And on Saturday, Jim takes her to the pet store (to look.) If our schedule ever deters from this,
