My Life in 6 Words?

Saw this at Alana's and several other places. A six-word memoir of my life.

A blasphemer, forgiven. A woman, loved.


I think we're supposed to tag 5 folks. Let's see what Jill, Lisa, Joanne, Lauren, and Chris have to say.

Prayer Request

The tornado that passed through southeast Virginia yesterday hit just 30 minutes away from my home. I have several friends who work in that area and were there when it hit. Their buildings that were damaged, but they are okay. Praise God, there are no fatalities listed yet!

Please pray for those affected. The clean-up is going to be a long, arduous process. Over 100 homes are totally destroyed, and many more damaged. More than 200 injuries (the hospital was hit, but stayed open to receive patients).

And please pray that God's people will join together to accomplish His work and reach out to those in need. May we glorify His Name through this tragedy.

Weekend Recap

What a great weekend.

~CJ's softball team won Friday. It was a gorgeous night to be outside, and we had a fantastic time.

~CJ & I had a very successful trip to the garden center. We brought back lots of pretties, which I'll proudly show off on June 13th




~I finished reading The Appeal by John Grisham, and can resume my Spring Reading Thing reading. (I'd been on the wait list at the library for months, and had to take it when I could get it). It wasn't my favorite Grisham book, but still a pretty good read.

~I'm now a St. Louis Rams fan


Not only is Chris Long a tremendous athlete, he's a class act. Listening to the announcers at the NFL draft praise him for his actions off the football field, I was even more proud that he played at my alma mater. He's represented UVA well, and we will miss him next year. (As CJ said yesterday, "How are we going to win without him?")

~Did you know Paul Revere never shouted, "The British are coming!" He quietly told people, "The British regulars are coming out!" Also, he didn't see the 2 lanterns in the Old North Church, though he did arrange for the signal. As you can tell, the history project is finished! I'm hoping it's the last one of the year. (We've had 6 school projects this year!)

Hope your weekend was wonderful, too.
