Roller Coasters
I have already been to Elitch's this summer...I'm not talking about that kind of ride. I'm talking about the roller coasters of life. I have been on one today. Do you think if I scream loud enough with my arms waving in the air I could make the ride come to a complete stop? Then I could exit slowly from the right side and walk around the park for a while...enjoy the sunshine and the sounds (and the funnel cake!) before I get on the next ride of life. I know that these roller coasters are the things that "make us stronger" and "build character"...today I feel like screaming "God, can you hear me?" I trust in Him, I walk with Him, I adore Him...and still do even today...but it is days like this that I cannot figure out what He is doing with me and how He is molding me. I guess this is faith...trusting in those things that I cannot see or understand.

Favorite Holiday
What is your favorite holiday? Dave loves the 4th of July. I am not sure I know anyone else who has this day as their favorite holiday. The fireworks are fun...and it is summer...and this does mark our engagement anniversary (how romantic!). Dave gave me a ring this year at Green Mountain...the place we were engaged. It was awesome.
I have to say I'm with most Americans when I say Christmas is my favorite...I just love to give presents, decorate the house, and have people over to eat lots of food. Of course, the best part of the holiday...Jesus was born...the man who saves me.
Brick at Zenobia
This is the corner of our kitchen in the new house. Why do we continue in the viscous cycle of doing things to our homes that we will undo years later? Case in point...removing plaster (has probably been there for 60 years) to display brick. Is this completely crazy or cool?
