Am I Old??

My son, Adam, has lived in Fairfax, Virginia for a week now. It is his new home and I don't really like it. I am proud of him because he has a good job, but I don't like it that he couldn't come over for dinner tonight. I don't think I am old enough to have a son who lives half way across the country, making his own salary and his own dinner tonight!

However, our dinner tonight was fun even though we missed Adam. Most Sunday's, Aaron (my other son) and Amy (girlfriend) join us for dinner. I heard Rebecca (my daughter) tell a friend that we always have pasta or meatloaf on Sunday nights. True and sort of funny. Tonight was Italian night. We also included a friend of mine and her two children. It was fun...crazy but fun. I choked on black pepper and thought I would die coughing! Then, I accidentally let Amy's dog out and fell down while trying to catch her. Fun stuff. I am certainly too old to chase dogs and apparently too old to eat pepper!

We have a new family member. Our niece delivered her baby last night! Makena Ryan Grace Voyle entered the world last night at 8 lbs and 5 oz! This is our first great niece! Wow! I feel really old since I am a GREAT aunt.

Ok, I thought only old people fell asleep in church! Ha! I did that today and don't even really know why. The message was good, I was just so tired. I think I kept my mouth closed and I am pretty sure that I did not snore, but I can hardly believe that I did that!

I went to see a movie last night with some girlfriends. I can say that I didn't feel that old because the movie we saw was based in the 1920's! We saw Leatherhead and it was very good. But what did make me feel old was watching George Clooney and Renee Zellweger play young parts. One of the girls that I was with is around 30 years old, and she said that George Clooney was old and that Renee looked a little wrinkly in the movie playing a 31 year old. Now, I was thinking that they looked pretty good and were able to pull off the young parts. I happen to know that George Clooney is exactly the same age as myself...is that old? Anyway, the movie was good...go see it if you get the chance. It is a decent chick flick about football! Who would have guessed?!

Speaking of old...it is past my bedtime. It is after 9:30 and that is when I usually go to bed. My kids think that I am really old because I go to sleep on the couch if I don't go to bed at my bedtime!

So, I guess some people might think I am old...but I know that I am young at heart!

I Got A Feeling....

that this is gonna be a good, good year!!!!!! I have great expectations! And I don't make New Year's Resolutions, but I do like goals. And prayers. I know God will answer prayers, and there are a few that I look forward to seeing the answer to, hopefully in 2010. It would be great if love and peace and forgiveness would win out in a few broken relationships. I am still praying. And I am look forward to how my marriage will become more wonderful, as it does every year! My health should improve since I am training for a triathlon. I lost 23 pounds in 2009. I look forward to losing about 15 to 20 more. Completing the Caveman triathlon with a couple of my very good friends is a goal that I am excited to achieve! It is going to be fun to see what God is going to do because I said "yes" to Him and stepped up into Home Group leadership with my church. And my church.... I have to say I am amazed and thrilled to love my church! What a blessing after so many years of being a s...

Gone

A fire burns behind me I run to keep ahead Those who I once cared for becoming cold and dead Red and black the flames grow high Smoke rises in the air The pain of my unworthiness Seems more than I can bear In front of me I see the sun I long to feel it's heat The iciness inside my heart has paralyzed my feet I see the moon, I see the stars They swirl and dance for me I see the hole, the big dark hole Where one star used to be

Behind Those Eyes - Chapter 8

We are completely loved and accepted completely. That is the chapter title this week and it is such good news! It is news that I have heard before, but news that I was glad to hear again. Lisa's story at the end of the chapter touched my heart...you know, the one where she woke up the morning after her prayer asking God to let her know that they were okay. The song in her head, that really was in her heart is awesome. I have had those times. Recently, I have had quite a few. The last few months (years maybe?) have been a little difficult. Some days I have wondered, "Does He REALLY love me?" And then some sort of confirmation will come along, He will let me know that we are okay and my heart sings. His love is gentle. His love is perfect. His love is comforting. And his love is absolutely unconditional. My blog time is shortened this week due the death in my family. My post is short, but honest and heartfelt. This week, I had a couple of conversations with a good...
