the kids have been out of school this week for fall break. i had comedown with the october homeschooling blues, and fall break was the perfect remedy to cure this illness. i needed to be mommy again, and give the teacher a rest. i needed them to be MY kids again, and not my students. so we decorated the house for fall, went to a movie, made tasty treats, played in the sunshine, turned the music up REALLY LOUD (sorry neighbors), and we DANCED!

Jesus knows me this I love.
Praise is who I am, praise is what I do.
I love words: written, spoken, sung, lived.
I have a love/hate relationship with homeschooling.
I value time spent with a good friend.
I go nowhere without my lipstick!
"Even in childhood was implanted within me a trace of that mysterious unity from which I was derived" St. Augustine
Everybody has to change or they expire. Everybody has to leave, leave their home and come back so they can love it again for all new reasons. I want to keep my soul fertile for the changes, so things keep getting born in me, so things keep dying when it is time for things to die. I want to keep walking away from the person I was a moment ago. Only a good story has a character different at the end than it was in the beginning. Through Painted Deserts Donald Miller "Our whole life was only given to us to advance us by great strides toward our heavenly country." Lancelot Andrews In my life, God is always changing the way I think of Him. I am not saying GodHimself is changing, or thatmy theology is open and I blur the lines on truth;I am only saying I think I know who He is, then I figure outI don't know very much at all.

A proud man is always looking down on things and people: and of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you. Mere Christianity C.S. Lewis
