The Little Engine that Could

By -

A few weeks before Christmas I was at Preschool hosting our Christmas Party. A man, J, came into our party and asked for my truck keys. I told him where he could find them and sent him on his way. Later, I learned that my new-to-me truck was being used for the most audacious of tasks.

Apparently, the light bulbs in the steeple needed to be changed. I went to investigate this situation. What I found was appalling! My Suburban was being used to hold the steeple onto the church!! Or, keep it from falling, I'm not sure which! I just had to take a picture. You can't see in the photo below but there is a rope tied from the back of my Suburban up to the steeple. J's truck was on the other side of the church with a rope tied to it as well.

Yes, there is a man up there waving at me. He think's he's famous now!

For some reason, I was very proud!!

On Valentine's Day 2007 Patrick and I decided that we would not get each other a gift. This was the first time we had made such a deal. I did pick up a card for him and filled it out. Valentine's Day was on a Wednesday and we really didn't see each other much until after church that night. He came home exhausted. We had our little family of five all together in the Family Room and I handed him his card. I had signed it the way I usually do with an extra note on the very bottom: P. S. Baby Boy due to arrive in September. (Now, I didn't know for sure he was a boy, but I had a feeling) Patrick FELL INTO THE FLOOR!! Fast forward 7 months. I was very busy getting ready to open WEE Love Academy, the weekday preschool ministry at church. I was thinking that I would get the Preschool started a few weeks then the baby would come. Well, Preschool started on Tuesday, September 4, 2007. It was a great day and I came home energetic! I thought nothing of it just busied m...

Pretty...

Hello There! There is something that has bothered me for years. I have begun to do better, and encouraged others to change their ways. This is it... Why do people almost always compliment little girls on their appearance first? Little girls are held to a higher standard in regard to their appearance and little boys are held to a very low standard regarding their behavior. This baffles me. I know you've heard it, probably even done it.  What's the first thing most people say to a little girl? "You're so pretty!" "Your dress is so pretty!" Why not compliment how compassionate & respectful she is because you just witnessed her let an older person get on the elevator first? Brave because you see the band-aid on her arm from a doctor visit? Smart...maybe she has a book in her hand! Funny...did she just tell the best joke you've heard all week? Creative...does she have an ornate hairstyle?  Or an outfit you would have never ...
