Hey, Siestas! While many of you are doing the usual thing, a lot of us in the Houston-Galveston area are holed up in our homes waiting for Tropical Storm Edouard to drop by town. (What was someone thinking? If it’s coming to Texas, it would be more aptly named Tropical Storm Bubba. If you must call it “Edouard,” please roll a very long “r.”) I was planning to take a much needed day off but I’d intended on doing it at the Galleria shopping with AJ while our darling Jackson was at Mother’s Day Out. As it turns out, most of the LPM staff has been instructed to stay home and only a few that live just down the street from the ministry are going to the office. It’s really not a day for getting your shopping bags to the parking lot of a large mall. It’s that kind of day when your umbrella turns inside out (I hate when that happens) and you nearly do the Mary Poppins.
So here we are at the Moore home, rain peppering against the windows: Keith, Amanda, Jackson, Beckham (very large sweet, sweet Golden Retriever), Queen Esther (AKA: Star – 3 month-old very happy, very active Border Collie), Angelina (AKA: Geli, Keith’s 2 month old German Shorthair – ADORABLE and has the cutest antics. She acts a lot like a bucking bronco at this point) and Little Fig (no trouble at all, mostly just causes AJ a few waves of nausea at this point). Curtis is speaking at a camp so he’s missing all the action. Amanda adds: Pics of the puppies are coming soon! They’re on my laptop but it’s at my house.
These are some highlights from the morning:
*Amanda very sweetly and patiently to Jackson at the breakfast table with his fruit cocktail: “Son, when you need to wipe off your hands, can we use a napkin instead of your hair?” (There’s not a bit of fresh fruit in the house. That’s why he had to have fruit cocktail. I hate having to feel guilty. And I hate fruit. Come to think of it, I do have cherries but Amanda swears they were the very things that caused the Great Diaper Blow-out of 2008.)
*It is 10:40 and AJ is on her third breakfast. Amanda adds: First my toast and canadian bacon, then Jackson’s uneaten toast, and finally some Cocoa Pebbles.
*The TV is messing up because of the storm so we’re watching Lion King. Jackson loves it. It only took Amanda a record 17 seconds to start crying. That “Circle of Love” opener gets her every time. Amanda adds: Um, that would be “Circle of Life.”
*I’ve given Jackson some multicolored stick notes to amuse himself and the room is well wallpapered in them. If you really squint, it kinda has that stained glass look. Now Jackson’s mad. A green one is stuck to his heel.
*I’m hungry but I can’t think of what I want to eat. Since Edouard decided to drop by at the very last minute, we just weren’t prepared with the great snacks I prefer for a long hold up. Most of what’s in the kitchen are the extra ingredients we didn’t need for our LPM lunch feast by Melissa last week. Today we can eat all the Ricotta Cheese and dill weed we want. (Don’t call CPS. We have plenty of Jackson food. It’s me I’m whining about.) Amanda adds: I’m not gonna lie. I got excited when I saw Spaghetti-O’s with meatballs in the pantry this morning. That’s what I’ll be having.
We love you. We hope you love us. Especially today. We need love.
UPDATES: (I know you are sitting on pins and needles.)
*Yes, Mr. Ed it is. Very good, Siestas. Very good indeed. I should have thought of that myself. I was late taking my vitamins this morning or I would have.
*Many rousing rounds of hide and seek. Oh, the joy Bibby brought Jackson when she hid in the dog crate.
*Keith went to the store! What a man!!! Groceries galore!! Fruit for the Mister: Grapes, nectarines, strawberries. Snacks for AJ and me: moon pies, stuff for queso. Real food for Keith to actually cook. Ick.
*AJ is eating spaghetti-o’s with meatballs.
Please, stay tuned. This is liable to be a nail biter.
*Yes, that’s exactly what we’ll do with the Ricotta. Almond flavoring and almonds. Yep. Great idea. Y’all are brilliant. I’m not doing that tomato thing though. That would require cooking. And my oven mitt is out on the bike seat.
UPDATE FROM MELISSA IN ATLANTA:
UM, I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH MY MOM. I ASKED HER HOW SHE WAS DOING AMIDST THE TROPICAL STORM/HURRICANE EDOUARD AND SHE ANSWERED LIKE A THIRTEEN YEAR OLD. SHE SAID, “WELL, I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOO BORED, MELISSA.” AND THEN SHE SAID SOMETHING THAT REALLY SCARED ME. SHE SAID, “OH, AND I JUST BAKED A CAKE.” YOU KNOW WITHOUT A SHADOW OF DOUBT THAT MY MOM IS BORED TO TEARS WHEN SHE BAKES A CAKE FOR NO GOOD REASON. WELL, I GOTTA GET BACK TO MY RESEARCH…SOME PARTS OF THE COUNTRY ACTUALLY HAVE TO GO TO WORK TODAY. LORD, THAT THIS EDOUARD WOULD PASS SO THAT I COULD GET SOME OF MY BRAIN CELLS BACK.
Beth: WELL, THEN ALL OF YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THE REASON I AM SO BORED IS BECAUSE AMANDA AND JACKSON ARE SOUND ASLEEP AND HAVE BEEN FORRRRRRR-EVERRRRRRRRRR. AND YOU MIGHT AS WELL ALSO KNOW THAT I HOME MADE CHOCOLATE ICING FOR THAT CAKE, TOO. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY’D SMELL IT AND WAKE UP. MAYBE I’LL TRY TO TAKE A NAP, TOO. OR MAYBE I’LL JUST HAVE ANOTHER CUP OF COFFEE.
3:00 PM. Amanda and Jackson still asleep. Watching Rachael Ray. (Why? Because I just baked a cake, didn’t I???) Did you know you can get Ecoli (sp?????) from your purse?
7:40 PM. 20 minutes before Jackson’s bedtime. All three dogs look like very happy drowned rats…and smell like them, too. Keith is watching the hunting channel acting like the rest of us aren’t here. He earned that right after making King Ranch Chicken for all of us for dinner. And used every pan in the kitchen. I’m sending those to Washington State, too. All of our hair looks like lightening struck the house and we were all holding golf clubs. Amanda and I are in the corner of the kitchen floor playing matchbox cars with a two and a half year old who does not appear to be in the remotest ballpark of sleepy. We knew we were descending into delirium when, a few minutes ago, we broke out in an impromtu duet of the 80’s version of “Pass It On” with our best Tiny Tim voices. To which Jackson yelled, “NOOOOOOOOOO!”
Oops. The matchbox car just broke.
Amanda’s having more cake.
It’s the circle of love.
Oh My Goodness… I loved every minute but that last line left me in heaving laughter.
E-Coli from our purse? Do tell?
Sanguines do hate rainy days, don't we?
Your man gets the red badge of courage for his store adventure. Mine would have said – EAT TOAST — ALL DAY!
That reminds me – I deserve a red badge of courage – I drove home twice this past winter in a SNOW STORM – and I survived! God is soo good! Is He not?
I'm praying and tell you I definitely <3 (Love, according to my daughters) You, too!
Hey Beth, family, and everybody else!
A few things-
1. Sometimes God makes you take a day of rest, even if you weren’t ready for it!
2. A malapropism from sumer camp this morning while playing cards, “Oh look, I got the Ace of Space!”
3. You are sending “Eduardo” our way and I bought the stuff to make homemade Almond Joys! We’ll see how it goes.
4. Tell you man good job for taking care of y’all. I just love it when my hubby cooks for us! It just tastes better! Made with love I guess…
5. I have been walking around like the Pledge of Allegiance so Satan doesn’t steal my word! He worked really hard when I got home from the simulcast, but it didn’t happen! I got some notecards already!
6. I didn’t think I could love you and Jesus anymore than I already did, but y’all made me do it! Thank you thank you thank you for being obedient to him!
Ya’ll are too funny!
Melissa, I’m so sorry you’re having to work while everyone else naps!
Beth, I’ve actually heard some real horror stories about how many germs and diseases we women carry on our purses because of all the places we set them down. It’s scary!
Oh, and WAKE UP Amanda and Jackson so Bibby will have someone to play with!
Blessings
Michelle
4:15 here and I’m crackin’ up at you Ms. Beth!! Reminds me of bein’ snowed in when we lived in WV and sending my sweet Daddy to the store for Little Debbie’s who would willingly go just to get away from us – I think.
Y’all stay safe and lick the plate clean after your cake please!! 😉

We just got back from our local Menonite Bakery. Our girls wanted to go there before school starts back tomorrow. I tell you, those brothers and sisters can sure cook! Their chicken salad is out of this world! We brought home homemade wheat bread, rolls, poppyseed bread, and cinnamon rolls full of pecans. Come on over to Alabama and we’ll share them with you. We went through Ivan and Katrinia so I know what you mean with boredom and snackdom. Hang in there!

What do you MEAN ecoli in your purse?? My daughter has sworn off lemons in her water for the same reason!
Lemons are one thing, but your PURSE??!! Is nothing sacred anymore?
Siesta Mama, or Mama, Jr… You two are on the ball… I know sooner got my comment in and scrolled down and there I was! Something should be said for rainy, windy days in Houston.
God Bless… I’m off to Life Today for a live taping tonight! I’ll be praying while I freeze and watch my favorite Senior Pastor and Women’s Pastor talking up “ELEVATE!” Blessings YA’LL! And God, would you please speed up Mr. Ed before the Siesta Mama loses her ever-lovin’ sanguine mind! We need her Lord!
Thanks for making me laugh today in the midst of your mundane. I went to school with a kid named Bubba. He was from Texas. We lived in Oregon. His real name was Granvel. I mean, really. Who in the world??? Bubba has since become a household name around here. And I try really hard not to think of a former president when I hear it. That’s all I’m going to say about that. Cake sure sounds good.
Y’all cracked me up! I love that y’all have been updating as the day goes on. Stay safe and kudos to Keith for going out in the storm!
This morning while I was watching the weather report on MSNBC (shout out to the other Morning Joe fans), I said to my husband, “Oh my gosh, I hope Beth Moore is okay” He said, “Who’s that…the blog lady” I replied, “Yes, and she lives near there and I think her daughter is traveling somewhere…I hope they are all okay” My husband just gave me this funny look like: How do you manage to keep track of the travel plans of some lady’s daughter who you don’t know–and still loose your keys about 2x’s a day.
I am glad you are alright and I will let my husband know your status!!
Oh Wow Beth – you WERE BORED! I mean you gave us updates w/ times and Everything! We’ve gotta get you some work to do while you weather out Ed! 😀 Now if only you had pics to go with your day of boredom!
I absolutely love this post – it’s one of my favorite yet! 🙂
OK BETH – THAT IS NOT EVEN FUNNY !!! My purse, like I need one more reason to wash my hands.
Heaven help me.
M
Okay…where has this blog BEEN all of my life??? I am cracking UP! I’m from sunny – SHAKY – SoCal and when WE have a natural disaster (or a tropical storm) there is no time to bake a cake! So kudos to you, Beth, for tapping into your inner domestic goddess!
P.S. I was at one of the TWO(?) satellite sites with no audio on Friday night – y’all LOOKED fabulous, though! Jesus ROCKED on Saturday – and we could hear Him!
Y’all are just too much!!!! Ecoli from a purse? haven’t hear that one yet. maybe just in Texas. I think it’s so funny that this little family of Moores/Joneses in Houston Texas has this whole country of siestas on pins and needles waiting for the next bit of news/antics. All we need is a video camera in your home to watch, like that movie I think it was TRUMAN with Jim Carey or the Truman Show, something like that. Even Melissa can’t get her research done!
By the way, this weekend was rocking! Thanks for being so real, and giving us some hard core hope. I have shared the dirt/soil analogy repeatedly and hopefully it will sink in so deep, and root so well, no stinking bird of prey can pick it off!! I felt the chains of bondage melt off, when I got that understanding! Girl, I was able to share with my husband my abuse from my younger years, that has held me in shame and guilt, and by sharing that, even though his reaction was flat, I WAS FREED! I am sure you understand how I was feeling!
Say hidy ho to Mr. Ed for me 🙂
Bless you!
Kari
You girls are a hoot! I think that a lot, but sometimes don’t get on to say it.
If Edouard makes it to Waco, we’re going to be doing some dancin’ cause we need the rain. Just glad He wasn’t too wild…
Blessings,
Corrie
i am laughing so much right now my co-workers are thinking i’m finally lost it….this is too funny….by any chance do we get to see a picture of Miss Beth in the doggie crate….priceless….oh and chocolate icing would have definitely woken me up…lol
Thanks for that hilarious post. I am about to fall out of my chair laughing!
Glad ya’ll are safe together!
Hugs,
Lisa in SC
Beth, you seriously need to learn how to relax. Say it with me…R-E-L-A-X. This is for your own good. Melissa is worried. We’re all starting to worry.
Step away from the kitchen.
Or before you know it, you’ll be wishin’ you had all those kitchen gadgets you gave away in our last competition. You’re stronger than this, Beth.
You said yourself, “Why mess up a clean kitchen?” Leave the cooking to the professionals.
Go Google something. When was the last time YOU Googled “Beth Moore”?
Do we need an intervention?
Melana
i just love to read about when people just live. Some of this actually makes those of us who stay at home look exciting. Nothing like having a house full of family and animals to enjoy. Stay safe and enjoy your day off. Had much to learn this past weekend. Details to follow. Thanks for being His vessel.
Beth – I was so blessed by the simulcast. Many, many thanks…
I grinned like crazy when you described Queen Esther. Our home was taken over last October by Jasper, a 2-3yr old Border Collie from the animal shelter (which explains his not-exactly-sure age and pedigree!)I think he’s into prolonged puppyhood; he’s without a doubt the smartest, most active, loving, and mischevious dog I’ve ever seen. And he runs like the wind… Do you happen to have a herd of sheep Queeen Esther can wear herself out with???
i’m cracking up….ecoli from your purse?? really?
Well, then I guess I will just have to get a NEW purse!!!
Can you explain that to my man?
You ladies are the BEST! I can’t believe you actually said “hope you love us too”… DUH!!!!!!!!!
Would over 70,000 people gather to get a word from someone they didn’t LOVE?!?!
Don’t be silly Mama Beth.
And you baked a cake. Don’t know what I feel more … fear, or more love than ever for ya! Either way, how can I get me a piece? Chocolate I am sure!!!
Hmmm, now I gotta go raid the kitchen looking for something yummy.
XOXOXOXOXOXOX
Becky Jo
PS – gotta praise for ya, our sweet girl’s adoption is being finlaized on Friday!!! Thank you Jesus for our sweet baby Sophie!!!
This is by far my favorite blog post ever posted here! Homemade cake with chocolate frosting? YUM! Thank you, thank you for entertaining me just now.
Oh, and when I was pregnant, I ate a lot of spagetti-o’s with meatballs, too. Oh heck, I ate them even when I wasn’t pregnant.
Oh I LOVE a rainy/stormy day! Its a great excuse for bad hair. Hee. It’s gloomy here in Virginia too but I have used the time to transcribe all my notes from the simulcast. What a blessing the whole event was!
And the cake smells great. I can smell it from here! 🙂
Ew! Ecoli from your purse? Oh, yeah. I remember reading an article about that. Cause we put our purses on the bathroom floor in public places and then we put them on the kitchen table and on the tables in restaurants. I wish I was bored. I am so sick of kids. You can have mine to, Beth. In fact, you can have this town. It sucks. I have to drive 3 hours to find a counselor. I’m never going to be healthy. I quit!
Beth, you are bored! 🙂
Your posts always brighen my day.
So glad the Living Proof schedule for 2009 includes Memphis.
I wanted to share a bit of my trip to Ukraine with all my Siestas. If you are interested, I posted a new entry on my blog last night. I wish each one of you could have been there.
See you in San Antonio!
OK, the Spagetti O’s takes me back to when Hurricane Alicia came knocking at our door around this time of yr in the early 80s-
Well, I ate cold Spagetti Os – cause this whining 9yr old didn’t understand we had no electricity to warm the canned things. Oh, gotta love it.
E coli from your purse? Let me get this straight… my purse?? Do we want to know the details of this,or am I going to be really grossed out. Do I need to put my purse in bleach right now?
Ya’ll are just too funny….
I saw the RR show about the e coli on the purse! It came from the floor of a bathroom, where LOTS of people leave their purses. You can see the story here:
http://www.rachaelrayshow.com/show/segments/view/dirty-purse/
Praying for the storm to pass quickly-we are in MN and I also love a good thunderstorm, but have an 8 year old who is very afraid of them.
Stacy
The bottom’s of our purses are about the dirtiest things out there! I try not to think about it!
I have just LOVED this post and all the fun loving conversations amidst the Moore girls!! 🙂
Beth, you are such a hoot. Where is a good Karen Kingsbury book when you need it.
I am very impressed that you baked a cake and was that homemade icing? Whoa! My stomach is growling after hearing about all that food Keith bought. My husband has been on a diet to try to get off his diabetic meds and he has donw so very well and is off all but 1 thing. But, I am so hungry for chocolate……I may have to slip to the store and have a secret “eat” away from the house.
I don’t want to eat in front of him.
I remember when we used to have those large 8-10 inch snows in North Al. and we were always the ones who got caught before we got the store to get our gallon of mile and loaf of bread. We would scrounge around and try to make it off what was in the fridge or pantry. Then when the snow would subside and it felt safe to get out, everyone would converge to Wal Mart. It was like “Ole Home Week” Ma, Pa and all the youngins would converage to find………no milk or bread on the shelves!
One Christmas we had a really severe ice storm and power was off for several days…..then on Christmas day right before our kids were hopefully to arrive….the power came back on. That was a memory!
Please stay safe and how about moving all that stuff on out of Texas before the 22nd…….we siestas want to fly with no wind, no rain and no lightning! I don’t really care to fly but will if it is to hear my Siesta Mamma and have sweet fellowship with my sisters in Christ. Dramamine is my best friend when I fly. Keeps me calm…..
I can’t wait to see you in San Antonio.
Can’t wait to see those pups pictures either. Much love!
I stinkin’ love this post; I am cracked up at the updates. I empathize with you all…we’ve had a few hurricane days here in FL. Also, I now want some cake. Real bad. Love and stuff!
What a fun entry to read!!! I love hearing the details of your daily lives.
I’m not familiar with hurricanes being here in Minnesota. But I’m quite familiar with tornadoes since we’re in that stinkin tornado alley! Minnesota’s storms are fast and furious – that’s for sure. My kids asked if the tornadoes in Heaven would be friendly so that we could explore inside them!@#@
Two questions:
(1) When you use root lifter, does your hair have to be wet? With small children, I only air dry.
(2) Will there ever be a copy of the past weekend’s live simulcast event that we can purchase or download?
Hope the boredom is clearing . . . I would be tempted to start making noise – whistle, sing, clear my throat (loudly) and wake them up. I’m so mean!
Just wanted to share a post-simulcast idea I had and am working on now.
I was really struck by the reminder that Satan tries to steal the Word from us. The 7 points were GREAT and each one had special meaning (in their own way) for each woman. For the girls who attended at my church in Walnut Creek, CA I created a little “post-simulcast” reminder. I printed the 7 points with a title of “100-fold Harvest” at the top. I had 100 of them printed up at Kinkos and laminated. Each reminder card is about 4″ x 5.5″. I’m going to mail each attendee a card. Since it’s laminated it’ll have lasting power and they can put it anywhere – even on the bathroom mirror.
Originally, I was going to just make one for me and do a homestyle lamination (covering it with packing tape) but I felt like God was saying – wouldn’t everyone like something to bring them back and move them forward? So, off I went to my computer and then down to Kinkos.
Just thought I’d share. 🙂
Love to all the siestas!
Laura
P.S. Miss Beth, you hate fruit? Really? How about veggies? You’re such a petite little thing I wouldn’t have imagined moon pies would be on the list (they are definitely on mine – but I add in fruit and veggies). GRIN
Awe I hope all is well with Mr. Ed coming to town. I got a great idea for you bored little heart come visit me and leave a comment so I can be the coolest girl in town, come on over to my blog
Please…………
A CAKE AND HOMEMADE ICING.
I AM PRAYING THAT KEITH REMEMBERED TO BUY MILK AT THE STORE!!!!!
216 comments and your still bored!! You must be a really fast reader! Love to chat more, but I have to go clean my purse!
Dear Beth and Amanda,
Thanks for thinking of your blog siestas while you’re holed up there. I just have to comment on the incredible LPL simulcast. I attended with my sister in Chino Hills, CA, and we were so blessed.
We just finished Psalms of Ascent together Thursday night, so after Saturday morning, we had so much to process! THANK YOU, Beth, for you passion, which has ignited a passion in both of us for Jesus and the Word.
Beth, I came away from the simulcast with so many messages that were “just for me.” But as I was watching you Friday night and Sat., I thought (along with all the great scriptural truths) you should know how great your hair looked. I had never heard of root lifter before (maybe they don’t sell it in Calif.), but I think that’s what I need! 🙂
I have a question: After a program like that, when you pour so much energy into communicating God’s truth, are you absolutely wiped out? Or does it energize you? I would think you would need to be physically carried back home, but maybe that’s how I think I would respond. I know this is long. Thought maybe if you’re bored, you’d have more time to read 🙂
Love, Karen in OC, CA
This is so funny! I am sorry you are stuck, but there must be something fun to do….like cleaning baseboards or cleaning around the bottom of your toilets…or oh wait! That would be about day 100 stuck in the house. What did poor Noah do?!?!?
Oh Beth & fam, how I love the challenging bible studies you write and the many ways you have helped shaped my faith. But today, well this was just hi-larious and so entertaining. I loved it. Loved it. Thank you for making me laugh amidst the difficulties of my day!
I have been a “peek a boo” blog watcher of yours for quite awhile now. I think this is the funniest post ever… and I didn’t think your “No other Gods” videos could be beat with your biweekly summer tips for us! Picturing what is happening at your house today is even better than seeing a video of Ed on the weather channel!! Thanks for the continual updates!
You are hilarious–tropical storms should sweep in more often to give you a break. I think you could use a “lee-tle” boredom. 🙂 And while you are bored, you are so funny!!
Back to the cookbook, I go–not cooking here either. Just recipe collecting. It’s gonna be good–$570 towards a well so far!! Come on now and clap your hand wih me!! There are some thirsty ones that will get some clean water–OH YEAH!!
BTW, I spent the past two days on hayrides for VBS camp with our church. I got to be the hayride story-teller. It was the best job!
Love you all!
Holly
PS Can you post some pictures of your flowers? It’s awfully DRY here and brown 🙁 I need to see some tropical flowers!
Beth you are a riot.
and AJ, I am SO with you on the spaghetios with meatballs. I always add two slices of American “cheese”
it’s comfort food girl. comfort food.
I saw that same Rachel Ray show (the first time around!) and haven’t put my purse on the floor or counter in a public restroom since that day! That was pretty disgusting!!!
I would love a picture of Bibby in the dog crate!! That’s a picture to behold!!
It sounds like you’re having a fun-memories-to-be-made day! I already commented earlier, but when you made a cake and icing from scratch I had to tell you how proud of you I am!! I’m imagining that you don’t have too many days in your busy schedule that you can do this sort of stuff! Enjoy and be sure to take a nap!
According to my sister-in-law Mr. Ed wasn’t too bad, just lots of rain-did you get wind on your side of town? I’m wondering how College Station fared?
Hugs to y’all!
Oh Beth…love you…you are so funny and refreshing and real! Hope you get out soon. 🙂
Really enjoyed the simulcast last weekend. Your words spur me on for HIM. “dirt turning to soil” especially spoke to me.
Your siesta,
Tanya
HOLY COW!! I have to share.. I have my VERY FIRST women’s retreat speaking engagement coming up in October. HOLY STINKIN MOLIE I’m so excited… AHHHHH
God is soooooo good!
I completely forgot you were in Houston! I grew up there (less than 10 minutes from your church) and my parent's still live there (and my siblings). I come home for Christmas each year now as long as I can (I was a missionary in Ukraine for 9 years so missed many Christmas'…God did not give me the honor of having children, so my family really is my husband and my parents/siblings.) My husband and I are the only ones who live outside of Texas…God had to rip me from that place…talk about dying to self!
I grew up in Houston, attending SWTSU in San Marcus (from 1979 to 1980), then transferred to Texas A&M (whoop!, where I graduated with an English degree. Wanted to live where in snowed so got my Masters degree at Western Illinois University..decided that I DIDN'T like the snow so only looked for jobs in the south. Landed my first job at Texas Tech University. Became a Christian there and my life changed dramatically!
I knew God was asking me to leave Texas and go on a church-planting team to New Mexico….a few years after that, He called me to the SNOW of Ukraine as a missionary (God does have a sense of humor, doesn't He? I mean Hawaii needs missionaries too, don't they?!)
So, HOW did I end up in Indiana now? We'll God brought a godly man into my life a few months after I moved back to the states from being on the mission field. His family is all in Indiana so we moved here to be near them. I do like Indiana but sure do miss Texas! Having lived all over the states and the world, it's quite obvious to me that this world really isn't my home, I'm just a passin thro!
Enjoy your time with family even though you are bored…just imagine life before TV, Internet and blogs! How DID they ever survive!?
Becky
Ya’ll are so crazy…so much so that I would have thought ya’ll were related to MY family. =) Beth, A.J., Melissa, someone, can we have a recap from Lou-a-vul? Get it??? Love you all, crazy ladies!!!
It has been a long time since I have posted on your blog, and I read it daily! I can understand you being bored since you are a busy little pea! I wish that I could hear your cute voice saying “Edourad”!!
I just wanted to also let you know how much I appreciate your willingness to do a blog, and teach on Life Today! I so enjoy hearing Him speak through you! I laugh to think that God has a great sense of humor!
I also want to take the time to thank you for sharing about your “weakest” moments or should I say your humbling moments when you were thanking your staff in last week’s blog for helping you with your deadlines and such. It is during those times that we can touch us in such miraculous ways that only He can do! Thank you for continuing your humble service for Him!
Much love to you!
