To sing is to pray twice...

I have been blessed to be a part of the most wonderful contemporary choral group at  our church. Today I had an opportunity to sit in the congregation and just listen. The  sounds were so beautiful! The voices blended so well. I was abIe to be on the "receiving" end of this gift.
So I say thank you to our awesome director, Kevin Burrow, for not only directing us but also for believing in us, encouraging us, teaching and challenging us...and all with a sense of humor and patience.
It is such a gift to be able to pray through music. I've heard people say that they "can't sing," don't have a voice, are embarrassed at their  voices (because somebody once told them they were  tone deaf)....but I want to encourage you to ignore all that and SING with all your heart. Sing in the car, in the shower, while walking, anytime and anywhere.....the Lord has given us all a different "music box." He wants us all to be able to use that music box. Receive joy and pray twice in song.
Joyful blessings....

Camels and LLamas and Zebras....oh my!

What a great day today! Patrick and I went on a field trip to Didier Farm  with his St Raymond's preschool. Sooooo exciting! We went on a hay ride, ran thru pumpkins, picked pumpkins for everyone in his family, saw lots of "aminals," even got to pet and feed them....but the best was Patrick's ride on a camel. The ride lasted all of 3 minutes, but he LOVED it. (imagine being 3 1/2 and suddenly being seven feet tall!) It brought back memories of a ride Jim and I took on a camel as adults! I remember laughing so hard I was crying, which, of course, made Jim laugh (almost) uncontrolably.  
Patrick especially liked touching the "aminals" because they are so soft. Maybe his tender little heart will one day lead him into vetinary medicine.

In speaking with one of the teacher aides we both agreed that children add a whole different perspective to life. They are so genuine.....literal....uncompromised.....fresh.....wonderful!

So today I am especially grateful for this opportunity and the happy moments we spent together.

I am so excited because I am going on a field trip with Patrick and his preschool to, none other  than, Didier Pumpkin Farm!!!! Last year I took Patrick there and he loved it. I can't wait to see all the animals, especially the giraffe. And it will be interesting to see how he reacts to the farm this year....AND how fun to pick out his (and mine)

Fall...the season of plenty

My favorite time of year is the fall. There is something about the fall that has always drawn me. I love the crunching leaves ....the glorious colors....the cool air.... pumpkins and gourds....the wind....the smell of logs burning in fireplaces....the squirrels scurrying around gathering nuts .... the sound of the high school marching band echoing thru the air during practices....baking pumpkin bread, zucchini bread....the wonderful aroma of my husband's chili cooking.... and so much more....indeed, the season of plenty.

I wish you an abundantly beautiful season!

We look like we're teen agers...actually we were in our early 20s!
44 years ago today I married the love of my life. Today I can honestly say I love him even more than I did then. I am grateful for the gift of Jim and the joy he has brought me.

Who could forget.....

I remember exactly where I was, what I was doing...everything about this day eleven years ago. None of us could possibly forget, and how different our world is because of this tragedy. I hold all those in my heart who have lost loved ones in the 911 disaster....all those children who will never know their daddies, who weren't even born yet. Lift these families up to the heavens.
