Check out this site, Taranto. He's pretty good for *only* being home-schooled, eh? Way to go, Ad! :)

Well, I'm learning HTML - what do you think? I started with a basic template from blogger, and after a few lessons, thanks to a link from my most wonderful auntie (he,he), I was actually able to do a few things. So I know I'm a *little* early for a Christmas theme, as Halloween is still coming, but we don't celebrate H here, and I'm really getting in the mood for Christmas. Now if I could just know if we are moving before or after Christmas, I could know whether I should dig out my decorations for this house or the next one. I sure hope it's the next one!!! :)

I am a Christian.

That comment likely brings different thoughts and reactions for different people. Some are turned away. Some are curious. Some are happy. Today I'm not sure.

I love the Lord. I believe in Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour. I try to obey His laws and commandments.

Sometimes I fail.

But sometimes I do ok. And sometimes I wish it was just Him and me.

Whoever came up with the idea of having "church" on Sunday morning, in all it's organized pomp and glory? Is it really worth it? I mean, can't I still have a relationship with the Lord without other people? It wasn't those other people that got me saved!

I'm on a new praise and worship team at church. In fact I'm leading it. But yesterday, we ran into a brick wall. The people say they want to follow the Lord, they want change. But when it comes down to it, when it's time to step over the borders of our comfort zones of traditions, we lay down on the ground and start kicking and screaming like some 2-yr-old in a tantrum, "I don't want to go!!!"

So for now, our team is off stage again. We will not be getting up there on Sunday morning as planned - only our third Sunday. Instead, we will still be meeting every Thursday morning as usual, keeping ourselves practiced up, and praying together. We're looking for the vocal support of the majority, and until we get that, I as leader feel we will not step back up on that stage.

You can't drag people into the presence of God. They have to want to be led.

So we'll wait.

It sucks. He's winning. We're losing. Neighbors are nice. Neighbors are nasty. Why do the bad guys win? It sucks.

Well, it looks like things are on the move - we've found a house we love, we were approved this afternoon for mortgage!!!!, and our house goes on the market for the weekend. So I hope, I hope, I hope....just pray that no one gets an offer in before us. We go for a look through this weekend. Trying not to be too excited, but it's hard!!! :D

Yes, I realize my last post was Sept. 19, and yes I know that it is Oct. 1, BUT - we've been sick! Last week it was the flu. This week it's colds. Cole was asleep before six o'clock last night, and as I type he's still not up - folks that would be 14 hrs....my boy is not feeling good at all. And wouldn't you know, I, of course, am coming down with it too, right when I need to be at my busiest...you see, our house is going on the market. That means I need to CLEAN!!! GACK! Oh, well, I'll get through, even if I'm sniffling my way through, but I will get through.
