Save the User Name

Okay, so Xanga wants to take over my user name and in order to save my identity here, I'm posting this log. It's the only way to save my name. That's all.

Hi! Whzz-up? So yeah, life...wow! So much life flying around. I've thought a lot about Judah...you know Yudah...the one who spoke the words to sell his brother, Joseph (Yosef), into slavery. Well, when Jacob, aka, Israel (Y'tsrael) passes out the blessings on his death bed, Judah pretty much cleans up...you know Lion of Judah and all that...such that David comes from his line (of course that's a whole other story...Gen.38...wow!)...and ultimately, the Savior. Okay, so God uses Judah, in spite of a lot of "stuff". That gives me hope! (Sigh!) I need hope!

I also keep thinking about the story of Ruth and the statement in Ruth 4.14...Blessed be the Lord who has not left you today without a Redeemer! That's what I need...the Lord to redeem today, and then today again tomorrow, and etc. You know what I mean! Lots of today's!

Okay...blessings!

Yup...it's me. Really. After the crazy spring of travel and all, Allie and I drove to Indianapolis on Friday, and then on from there to Hanover to pick up Annie on Saturday, and then back home on Sunday. That shows you just how tipped over into the insane I am. But, Allie wanted to visit her past. Annie just wanted someone to help her pack-up and sweep her home. And there was plenty of things for us to do in Indy:
- Ice cream at Handels.
- Prayer time with Brian and Jeannie.
- A wonderful walk at the Flowing Well Park...our favorite place in Indy then and now
- Swinging at Cottingham Park.
- Seeing our old house.
- All the old familiar places.
- Allie getting to see her old friend, Kelsey.
- Seeing Evan and Linda.
- Seeing Dave and Shelley...seeing their basement project.
- Seeing Erik and Kelly...sitting with them...praying with them! Keep praying for Erik and Kelly!!!
By the time we got to Hanover, Annie had two hours to pack up her entire room More craziness! For the most part, we did it. Wow! And then we had dinner with Luke and Jess at the Red Pepper. Fun!

But spending two 13+ hour days on the road is also crazy! It just takes so much focus. I'm just not good at that whole focus thing. And because it was a rental car, Annie and Allie couldn't drive it. Ughh! But we made it home, and now, finally, after like ten months, we're all back together as a family and trying to catch-up a bit. We did M-Day with Crandall's. Annie has support to raise for her New Zealand Summer Project and another deadline tomorrow...(Want to help her?) Kate started her volunteer job at the Shakespeare Festival today. Allie is teaching her cousin art. We've got two cars down for the count...I worked on one most of the day today...and maybe it's running again. I've got tons o'support to raise, too. And, there are lots of decisions to be made yet for the summer.

So...okay...that's it for now.
