Monday Morning Update Complete with Planking

Just like the seasons change during the year, seasons of life change too.   The season of "empty nest" has been a time of adjustment for us.  If you follow my blog, you know one of my favorite things in life is being a mommy (only second to being a wife). Though I will always wear my 'mommy' hat , my daily responsibilities have changed now that our baby has gone to college.  One change in recent months is that I started working a neat little part time job in June.  The job was a God-send for us and I am so thankful, especially in light of the current job market.  Besides, in addition to adjustment,  the "empty-nest" season also brings a little thing called college tuition!  Working, while only part time, and being a wife to a man in the ministry has limited my blog time.  I'm still a blog stalker and miss my friends in Blogville but I think of you and pray for you often.

I had a few minutes this morning to log-in for a quick update.  If you are seeking random (my usual) then skip ahead to the second-to-last  point:

• Jordyn came home for Fall Break this weekend.  To say we were delighted to see her would be an understatement.  She is doing great and is loving college.  She is diggin' her Theology class and is praying about a Theology/Philosophy major with a music minor (she has her dad's brains and musical abilities).

• My precious little grand-baby is doing great! Jaelynn is getting ready for her own little adjustment.  Her baby sister (Zoie) is due in January.   

• Still waiting for the results of my state interpreting test.  It's been 4 months so they should arrive any day. 

• Saturday night I double-dog dared my sister-in-law to plank with me!  It was my first attempt and might be my last (I'm injury prone and I don't think my Chiropractor would approve!)

• If you want a good sermon, you have to check out "Bulls, Lions and Dogs" (Sept. 25th)  by Pastor Jim Cymbala of The Brooklyn Tabernacle.  I tried to embed the sermon but I was unsuccessful.  Take the time to go to the link, find it and listen.   I was totally bawling the entire message.  I pray this will touch your heart as it did mine!
