Day 142/Day 2/Day 2

I mentioned a few days ago that I'd like to add some humor or something to this blog, but it's probably not going to happen. There's not much I can add to the positive moments of my day. I suppose it will remain fairly boring, but I'm cool with that, as long as it helps me through some things. We enjoyed church as usual. The sermon was meaningful and a continuing theme for this week. Wendy had mentioned the importance of prayer in her life and I realize how important it is in ours as well. She said she used to pray every morning and did not do so anymore. Her goal was to get back on track as far as that was concerned. I need to try and pray in the morning. I think that would help. I think about God often, but it is important to think about Him first thing in the morning. I should also choose a certain time to study His word. I'm looking forward to getting my new bible. I currently use an NIV bible, but under Jim Kirkland's request, I ordered the New inductive Study Bible which is an NASB. There was new music during praise and worship time this week. I liked the song and I wish I could remember some of the words or the name of it. We also got to see a couple of young girls get baptized. The youngest girls' mom was very near her daughter as she was getting baptized and looked very emotional and happy. Before the service, Fran told me I had made her day with an e-mail I had sent earlier. That was sweet of her to say.

We went to lunch afterward in Oxford at Casa Real. I really enjoyed my food as did Kim and Gabrielle, but Colton didn't care for his nachos. Noah liked my tortillas so at least he ate something. Afterward we went home to celebrate Kim's birthday later on. The kids and I made her a cake and I made a spaghetti dinner. Colton and I threw the football outside till we both sweaty and tired. After dinner, Gabrielle and I went over her verses and I helped Colton a bit with his workbook for Awana. Our prayers as the kids went to bed all seemed heartfelt. Good times. I'm tired. Thank you for everything, Lord.
