Ramblings from my tired brain.

I'm pretty tired. I haven't slept all that well in the past several days. I keep having pains in my legs and feet. They are like dull aches that come on pretty fast and slowly go away. Just when I think that all is good again and I'm getting back to sleep another one comes on. It's not good getting old.

Speaking of getting old...this is fair warning to all you readers out there--my birthday is only 11 days away. I'm not telling you this because I'm planning on exploding or anything. It's just a notice so that you know how many days you have left to go out and purchase something FABULOUS to give me for my birthday.

I'm horrible about waiting for presents so it should be no surprise that I already have a couple of my gifts. The first one I received was a framed picture of Joe that Melinda took in her studio. I was blown away! It is so good and she was able to really capture the true Joseph. I'm not going to post this picture so if you want to see it you will have to come visit me. My second gift is a pair of Mary Jane Crocs (in chocolate, of course). No they are not coated in chocolate (although, how glorious would that be!) they are chocolate in color. Tim picked this up today. They are very hard to find so I'm glad he was able to find them.

I've been trying to think of what else I could possibly want for my birthday. I know that I would like to have another pair of Kari McGrath earrings. I love all the ones that I have now, but a girl can't have too many gorgeous earrings. A new praise and worship CD would be good, too. There really isn't much else that I want.

A really good birthday present would be a contract on the house. It was shown both yesterday and today so hopefully something good will come out of that. We are scheduled, I think, to have an open house this weekend so if the others don't pan out then we have that to fall back on. I think it can happen.

I have to say that my house looks MARVELOUS! We have worked hard to keep it in great shape for showing at a moments notice. This came in handy for the last minute showing that happened today. I got the call at 11:52 that it was needing to be shown at 12:30. Yikes....no, not really. Everything looked great and I was out of the house in 10 minutes (and that's after cleaning up from breakfast and keeping up with the boy!).

It rained good and hard yesterday for about 15 minutes. It was great to see the earth get the water it needed. It also rained again today, but only for about 5 seconds. I have tried watering the yard just a little every few days for the past several weeks, but I don't want to be a burden on the water supply. I'm hoping that we will get some good summer showers through here to keep the ground and plants looking healthy. Kentucky is so pretty when everything is green and blooming.

We had a really good service at The Point Community Church yesterday. Rick did an EXCELLENT job with the sermon that God had given him, and the music was wonderful! There was a person that accepted Christ as their Savior so that was truly a blessing! People just seemed to be on fire for the Lord yesterday. It was a great thing to be a part of. From what I counted there were about 175 in worship...that did not include the nursery workers or the kids being cared for. I think we could easily estimate that there were 200 people there. That's really good for a church that is only 18 months old AND it being summer. God is doing such a mighty work there. I just praise him every day for leading my family and me to be a part of it all. In case you are in the Frankfort area and don't have a church home please stop by for worship on Sundays at 10am. You WON'T be sorry you did!
