Catching up on my blog. It is pouring down rain here today - thank you Lord! The down side of that, is that I am at home today and it is making me depressed, sleepy and unmotivated.
So, all I can muster up today are some quotes:
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a way so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice. Indian Proverb
If you were doomed to live the same life over and over again for eternity, would you choose the life you are living now? The question is interesting enough, but I've always thought the point of asking it is really the unspoken, potentially devastating follow-up question: That is, if the answer is no, then why are you living the life you are living now? Stop making excuses, and do something about it! William Alexander
Love to all and have a great week! I will be off to Emmaus tomorrow evening until Sunday and then we will be in Florida for Fall Break! - Can't wait!

Franklin County Leadership
I have been very blessed by being able to be a part of Franklin County Leadership this year. Today was neat in that we got to meet the Mayor and several County leaders and not so neat in that we toured the Waste Water Facility and the Water Treatment Facility right after lunch.

Emma's New Career
Emma got the chance to deejay at the local radio station for 2 hours last night - I think she has found her nitch (sp?). She did great and her and her friend Maria were hilarious to listen to. Kids tell no lies and spare no truths!

Great Weekend
Well, Chris took me to North Carolina for the weekend and we had a great time. While he worked Saturday, I hiked 5 miles up Blood Mountain at Vogel State Park in Georgia. It was wonderful, no cell phone, just me and nature! I felt so good afterwards. The rest of the weekend we ate good food and looked at antiques we can't afford.......

Changes
Well, you know our lives are everchanging and so I thought I would update you guys on a few of them:
I am no longer typing from home - YEAH!!!! I know some of you girls out there think I am crazy for not wanting to do it anymore, but 11 years of it is enough for me!
I am phasing out my work for Christ the King (working 2 days a week right now).
I am going to be substitute teaching for the school system full-time (Lord willing) and am finally going to be able to be on my kids' schedules.
Chris and I start 12 week classes on Sept. 29th in order to be qualified to be a short-ter foster home for the State of Tennessee.
Well, there ya' go. Pray for us as we embark down a different road. Love to all!!

From the Bible(NIV):Matthew 7:1-51
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
Matthew 7:1212
So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
"Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart" 1 Samuel 16:6
