I had two opportunities for service today. One I was glad about; one I wasn't. Val and I taught the 1st & 2nd (and 3rd?) grade Sunday School class this morning. Several of my Sparkies are in that class; I miss Sparks more than I'd though possible. I'm really looking forward to starting up again in September. Anyway, class went pretty well, despite the fact that our 5-minute craft stretched into 35! I'd be happy to sub in that class again....

Mom was released from the hospital today! She's tired and in pain, but she's home! And you should see my parents' house--it looks like a flower shop ...
I did call my landlord yesterday morning, but he didn't answer his phone and he apparently doesn't have voicemail. Fortunately, my uncle (hereafter known as UE) is the guy he would have called to fix my air, so when UE called me about something else, I told him about the air situation. UE is a very busy man--especially when it gets hot outside and everyone realizes they need their air fixed--so I didn't expect to see him right away. But at 10...

After weeks of wonderfully cool weather, summer has hit. It's 78 degrees at 11:30 p.m., and I feel like I'm slowly cooking in my apartment. Why? Because my air conditioner has decided not to work! When I left for work this morning, closing my windows didn't even cross my mind. When I stepped into my hot and sticky apartment at 8:30 p.m., I was really regretting that. I guess it's time to break down and turn on the air. I totally pride myself...
My mom had her left knee replaced yesterday. She's needed it done for a long time, and the right one will need to be replaced, also. Dad and Steph were at the hospital for the surgery, and Val and I drove up after work. Mom's doing really well. They started physical therapy this morning, and at noon she was dressed and sitting in her chair. They're shooting for Friday as a dismissal date . . . and then she'll be out of commission for another...

I'm trying to decaffeinate myself per my doctor's orders. Fortunately, she understands that Becky without caffeine is not a pretty picture, and she told me to allow myself a little caffeine. I'm trying to go with one caffeinated beverage per day. Today, I made it to 12:15 before I cracked open a Diet Dr. Pepper.I love coffee, but I don't usually drink it for the caffeine--I prefer to get my caffeine from pop. I think maybe I'm equally addicted...

I took yesterday off but had to run out to the office in the afternoon. Here's what I saw:That's my dad, taking out the tree. Sad d...
Learning to leanLearning to leanI'm learning to lean on JesusFinding more powerThan I'd ever dreamedI'm learning to lean on JesusI've experienced lots of ups and downs in this past week, and the only thing that's gotten me through is clinging to Jesus. I've been absolutely terrified about a health concern. I had an appointment with my doctor this afternoon, and it turns out I'm fine . . . well, I will be if I can stop drinking so much caffeine!One...

I’ve just returned from a week in Kansas. I anticipated a very relaxing week, and parts of the week were great. But other parts? Terrifying! I arrived at my grandma's house on Sunday night and hooked up the digital converter box I'd picked up at Wal-Mart. The house is close to Wichita, so I figured I'd pick up lots of channels. Not so. I got the NBC, ABC, FOX, and CW stations. The next morning, I also got the CBS channels (one regular and one...

Late tomorrow afternoon, I'll be heading off for a week in Kansas. I've really been looking forward to this ever since I decided to do it a few weeks ago. I'm planning to spend lots of time with my grandma, and I hope I can be a real encouragement to her while I'm there. I won't have any internet access, so I'll be commencing radio silence. Have a wonderful week--I'm sure I wi...

This is my kitchen table as of 10:30 p.m. Why? Because we had more storms. I was planning to have my family over for supper. I made baked chicken, fried potatoes, chocolate-peanut butter brownies, and iced tea. It started raining while I was cooking, but I didn't think much of it--just closed my windows, turned off my computer (I'm paranoid about...

My parents and Val went to Kansas for the weekend, so Steph stayed with me. Most of the weekend was rather uneventful, yet quite relaxing. Then Sunday evening arrived. Let me back up, though.Saturday, we had a wedding to go to. It was actually a "blessing of the marriage" ceremony, as the couple has been married for a year and a half. So we got...
