My beautiful Sara Chair I bought with birthday money from my mom Destruct-o Deer strike again...wrecked the electric fence. (grumble, grumble...) Cute garden raider "Everybody wants to be a cat..." (Sara is singing that song, from The Aristocats, at our homeschool co-op's talent show this December). And here are my new LG washer and dryer set. Who knew laundry could be so much fun? They are fabulous (email me privately, if you want details), and no more annoying beeps—they sing to you when they are done! A wonderful birthday present from my husband, even if they are utilitarian. :)

He Loves Me {My Epiphany}

It occurred to me today how much I want to be right. Not in a one-up-you or I-have-all- the-answers way; but in the way I do life. I always want things nailed down and to have a list to follow, so I am sure to do "it" right, whatever "it" may be at any given moment. My husband bought me an acoustic guitar for Christmas and I've been taking lessons.

I chuckled back at him, but what he said pierced my heart. It was the beginning of God getting through to me today. You see, I have always had this idea that my goal of wanting to "do right" was good, and that I was at

Five Minute Friday :: Hide

Today is Friday, the day when we freely write for five minutes without worrying about how it is, we just pour out our feelings for five minutes. No worries, no judging, no critiquing. (Inner editors, shush!) If this sounds fun, click here for more info. Today's prompt is: When Adam and Eve sinned in the garden, they felt shame and they hid.That is what we do when we feel shame. We feel bad, and we spend our lives trying to hide. Sometimes we hide out in the open, covering ourselves with busyness, trying to look inconspicuous so no one will suspect what is really inside of us. I have always felt like I'm "bad" or "wrong" and my main concern was to do things right . And not just right, but the way God would want it, the "biblical way." But I have realized, as I wrote earlier , that I've been blinded to who God is because I haven't been trying to follow truth, or get at truth, or to be right according to scripture. I thought I
