We are moving house this week. The moving truck came yesterday. The house is just down a couple streets from where we live. We are moving for more living space. Pray for us please!
Now, I have two messy houses, 4 kids with lots of school work, one hairy dog and a partridge in a pear tree! (That's me getting ready for the kettle season which is sneaking up quickly behind us.)
If I mentioned all that has happened this week you would want off the merry-go-round too!
Houses, family, corps activities, plumber (don’t ask!) and the irony of it all is I am teaching at continuing education next week. The title of my class? Juggling 101. It's about balancing life and ministry. Hmmm. It always gets this crazy before I teach this class. Anyone thinking what I am thinking??
Prayers for sanity would be welcomed!

well your the best juggler I've EVER SEEN! You should win an award or something...not only are you sylish, up to date with the tecnology of the world (for example texting, myspace, blogger!), easy to talk to, you have a great personality, your a great preacher and teacher and listener, and at the same time a mother of four beautiful girls, a wife and a pastor! You never cease to amaze me!
Your amazing!
I love you and can't wait to see you next week :)

Ditto on what Allison said!! You better email me your new mailing address! Need to know where to send Christmas cards, etc. Miss ya loads!! :)
You two are such brown-nosers! You're gonna give her a big head.
"Stop this train" by John Mayer has been on constant repeat for me lately. You're not alone. Let me know if you need help unpacking.
"No, I'm not colorblind
I know the world is black and white
I try to keep an open mind
But I just can't sleep on this tonight
Stop this train
I want to get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?
Don't know how else to say it
I don't want to see my parents go
One generation's length away
From fighting life out on my own
Stop this train
I want to get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?
So scared of getting older
I'm only good at being young
So I play the numbers game
To find a way to say that life has just begun
Had a talk with my old man
Said "help me understand"
He said "turn sixty-eight
You renegotiate"
"Don't stop this train
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
Don't think I couldn't ever understand
I tried my hand
John, honestly we'll never stop this train"
Once in awhile, when it's good
It'll feel like it should
And they're all still around
And you're still safe and sound
And you don't miss a thing
Till you cry when you're driving away in the dark
Singing
Stop this train
I want to get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
Cause now I see I will never stop this train"
Just hold on for the ride.
Wow! you girls are great. God has blessed me with each of you. Don’t Worry Caryn...this packing organizing thing...keeps me humble. It is not one of my strong areas. I will be calling you to help unpack. :)
Katie...address is the same except for the street... now we are 13 Elizabeth road....sent that Christmas card!!! E-mail me your address too...sunbeams want to send you something and we have Christmas cards to send too!
Here's my address: CMR 427 Box 1230, APO AE 09630. It's a regular stamp when sending from the states. Give the girls my love and the sunbeams too!!!
I emailed you, but in case you do not see it. I won't be at writers' group tonight. We have NJYB practice and I feel I need to be there as it is our last rehearsal before the Fall Festival November 11. You are going right?
Well have fun. Talk to you later.
Since when was sanity a requirment .... (hope it never happens to you ..... )
but you are being prayed for .... and are appreciated.....
and all of that STUFF ..... that's still happening .......
I'm in the corner of praying for everyone else in the house ...for kindness and understanding and practical help from the girls, and for support and grace, (and help) for Alistair too.... and if Barb and I can be of help.... Just shout
Parting shot---here is the confidence I have --- you are an amazing wife, mother,officer and woman, I have seen you in action ....blessings,
