8 Things

8 Things
I found this over at my friend, Pam's blog. Because I have too much to say, but not yet the words to say what is on my mind, I thought this would be fun! Consider yourself invited to play along!
It's really simple to play, just complete the 8 things. Oh and leave me a comment so I can visit your 8 things list.

8 Things I look forward to

1. Any time that I spend with God...the morning prayer time, Bible reading, singing to Him in the car, and going to worship services at my wonderful church! ...it is all something I look forward to!
2. Hanging out with my husband, even after 27 years of marriage.
3. Spending time with any and all of my kids, whether it is sitting on a bed talking, going shopping, or playing a game, I love spending time with my kids!
4. Having grandchildren one day. ;)
5. Time with my friends, whether it is Home Group, Al-anon, just dinner...whatever!
6. Dave Matthews concert this Saturday!
7. King Tut this weekend!
8. Visits from my mom...this weekend she will be here to go to King Tut with me and my kids!

8 Shows I watch
This one is going to be really difficult...I watch virtually zero television.

1. Tonight my son and I will watch Lost...my very first time. He insists that I will love it.
2. Law and Order, if I have nothing to do, that is what I will flip to.
3. American Idol...my daughter and husband suck me into this one.
4. Football games, preferably play offs and college games.
5. Dave Ramsey - sometimes
6. Scrubs, if I am still awake.
7. Saving Grace, if I remember. I love it because it is contraversial.
8. Seinfeld reruns. Crude, I know, but I ALWAYS laugh out loud!

Oh my, you're going to jump into LOST NOW????? Glory this could be fun to see what you think. All of our addicted friends insisted that we watch from the beginning. (there are lots of web sites where you can do that for free) IT IS A CRAZY SHOW!!!!!

Praying your spine issue isn't BAD!

And isn't the prospect of grandchildren SO EXCITING!!!! Our girls aren't even dating and I'm looking forward to that day.

Thanks for doing this...it is fun to see these kinds of thoughts of people you are getting to know. This blogging world is so bizarre...feeling like you get to know someone you've never met. I guess when pen pals were a big deal way back when it might not have seemed so strange.

Love your list. Great things for what you wish you could do...very heartfelt.

I could fill the tv list with faithful weekly shows easily...all tend to be in the murder-crime suspense...like the suspense of trying to figure out "who done it".

I do watch me some Seinfeld on occasion...I love George and Kramer. Never cared a bit for Seinfeld.

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...
