I’m totally copying this idea from Vince Antonucci’s blog, but I DO LOVE QUOTES! So here’s one to ponder, and one just because:
“There comes that mysterious meeting in life when someone acknowledges who we are and what we can be, igniting the circuits of our highest potential.” – Rusty Berkus
“We have no disgruntled employees here…everyone is extremely gruntled.” – Michael (The Office)
Today was a very special day. I was invited to a Mother’s Day Tea in my daughter’s first grade classroom. I knew it would be special, because Rachel informed me that I needed to “dress fancy”. Each mom was greeted at the door with a single red rose from their child. We were then escorted to our special “spa station”, which looked remarkably like a child’s desk. Rachel treated me to a wonderful manicure and painted my stubby fingernails with the perfect shade of blue to match my “fancy outfit”. She proceeded to shower me with hand made gifts and pictures. Soon it was time for sweet tea and a yummy blueberry muffin. Afterwards, the kids all sang a very special Mother’s Day song. What a wonderful way to start the weekend! I love being a mom!
It’s still not quite “there”, but it looks a little better! Check out the Diamond Willow video. Rod and Valerie Vaughn and their kids are definately “living the Jesus life”. A lot of us talk a big game when it comes to serving, but they give a new meaning to the phrase “Put up or shut up!” For more info on this incredible ministry, go to www.d-w-m.org.
I’m not really sure what this blog is going to be about. But I’ve found myself writing really long comments on other people’s blogs, so I figured I’d start my own and not subject anyone to my rambling commentaries unless they really want to read them.
Since my walk with Jesus is what’s on my heart and mind most of my waking moments, (okay, that’s what SHOULD be on my heart and mind most of my waking moments), I will probably blog about this often. But I’m also a painter and mural artist. So I’ll probably post some pictures of recent work and give some painting how to’s as well. And, oh yea, I’m also part of a core group that’s planting a church! I’m sure I’ll blog about that a bunch!
I guess my blog entries will be very much like my thoughts: A series of seemingly unrelated post-it notes of thoughts and commentaries from my overloaded ADD mind… “Hey look, a chicken!”
