BULLET THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
- It’s a nice Monday morning here at our house with everyone home. VBS tonight!
- As of this morning, it’s been 29 consecutive days of running. Almost half way through my modified plan!
- I feel like I’m a bit behind on the details of life. Need to spend some time going through mail, making appointments, etc.
- There are two cucumbers in our fridge that we grew in our backyard. Woohoo!
- We meet the guardian ad litem today for our foster daughter. In the event that the agency files for permanent custody, the guardian (a neutral voice to the court) has a pretty strong voice in how adoption decisions are made.
- Jesus the name that charms our fears and bids our sorrows cease.
- I know it’s only midsummer but I’m definitely thinking about the 2 year blog anniversary give-away (in November). Last year it was an iPad. What will it be this year?
- Would you rather: 1) have 2 weeks expenses paid for rest and relaxation or 2) have 2 weeks expenses paid so you could visit a third world place, learn about its culture, and live among its people?
- I’m struck by God’s phenomenal compassion. He plays by rules we really can’t comprehend.
