Gosh...time sure flies.  I cannot believe I haven't posted in my blog since October!  I have to re-visit a couple of things from the past few months. 

First of all, I still love my shower pole!  I know my friends reading this will think I'm crazy to love a "thing" so much...but I do.  I love looking at it every morning in the shower and admiring its organization skills.  Another thing I love is our new dinette set.  I struggled with that purchase as well because it was a glass-top table and the chairs are leather.  But I haven't been sorry for one second.  I love it everyday.  I look forward to sitting next to it to do my Bible study or sign our Christmas cards or just have a cup of coffee.  One day I will love sitting next to it and looking out on our landscaped yard.  (Maybe next spring.)  I guess it gives me pleasure because I have made some purchases over the years that I regret.  When you purchase something you have to look at everyday...you better love it, right?

Secondly, I'm sure glad my three WWS girlfriends and I are doing "Jesus, the One and Only" Bible study by Beth Moore.  I've really enjoyed it and see God at work in my own heart and theirs.  I've never been a huge fan of Beth Moore.  But I opened up my mind and heart and I have to admit I really am enjoying her commentary in this work book.  I think the thing that I am enjoying about her is how she can become so excited about Jesus and what He is doing.  She's almost giddy and I wish I had that trait.  When was the last time you saw Jesus do something that made you out and out scream with delight?  It's been a long time for me.  I'm more like "Ok Lord...that was really neat" with a ho hum attitude.  During this Christmas season, I'd like to scream with delight at seeing God work in my life and the lives of my family and friends.

Thirdly, I'll be spending the day with my three favorite boys tomorrow at Knott's Berry Farm.  Cameron, Cristian and Adrian.  I'm so excited and praying for good weather and a fantastic day of fun!  Hopefully, I'll have some great pictures to post.

Oooooo...I just remembered something.  I took a peek at Colette's blog and saw the little photo op about her glasses.  I want you to be the first to know (besides Richard), that I finally bought a pair of cheater glasses.  Beth made me do it.  Getting up early in the morning to do my Bible study I find that my eyes are kind of blurry and the print was looking smaller and smaller everyday.  So while at Bobbi's Hallmark last week, I decided to try a pair on.  I purchased 1.25 correction and they are perfect for Bible study.  Of course, when I look up everything else is a complete blurr.  I like them.  But it looks like you'll have to wait until our next study to see them.
