I can't believe it's been almost a month since I have posted. So many things have happened in the *almost month* since I last posted.
A good family friend died and we spent about three days at home for that. He and his wife were like grandparents to me - they read Scripture in our wedding and he was just one of the finest Christian men I've ever known. He passed away suddenly while he and his wife were at the beach, and their family and the whole community was just devastated. And so was I. He's the type of man that won souls to Christ no matter what he was doing, in both word and deed. He was a man of great humility and I already miss him so much. But, he couldn't even talk about heaven without the tears rolling down his cheeks. For several years he has said, "I'm ready to go home. I told the Lord when He wants to take me, I'm ready." And that he was.
We also had an Open House at our house this weekend. I was a busy little bee trying to get everything ready for that. I prayed for at least one person to come, and God answered that two-fold. :) There were two families that came and our realtor said they both really liked our house, but weren't planning on buying until summer, so we'll just see what happens. We have totally placed this in God's hands and would like to sell as soon as we can, but we're not anxious about it. Two years from now, if it's still on the market, it might be a different story!!
And the other thing that's kept me away from blogging is that I finally caved and joined the wonder that is Facebook. I have had an absolute blast getting back in touch with childhood, high school, and college friends.....and playing PathWords!! I pretty much have to almost set a timer to pull myself away from it.
Anyhoo, I'm going to get back to posting, hopefully at least weekly because it is fun for me! Now, I'll leave you with a taste of what my next post will be about:Hmmm, any guesses?

I sure have missed you and I am so sorry to learn about the loss of your family friend.
I am afraid to start the whole Facebook thing because I can barely get everything I have to do now and already have to limit my blogging time. I know my kids all really enjoy Facebook, though.
Hmmm.....your next post. Do you have a jennie in a bottle? An incense burner? Could it be something from a truckstop somewhere?
I am also sorry to hear about your loss.
Can't wait to hear what you're going to do with the gennie lamp
Glad to see you are back! Sorry about the loss of your friend. But how sweet is it to know that they are ready to be with their Heavenly Father? We should all be like that!
And what the heck is that thing? looks like an old lamp?
And I too am addicted to pathwords on Facebook!!!
I am sorry to hear that your friend passed away! I didn't know that girl! That's hard to lose someone that is so special.
And yes, Facebook is crazy!
AND YAY that 2 families came to look at your house! Maybe they will pass the word and someone else will come! You never know.
I'm with Mimi... I think that thing came from a truck stop!
I'm so glad you are back! I've missed you. Sorry to hear about your dear friend. I'm so thankful that you have the peace that comes from knowing he is at his home in Heaven!
Can't wait to hear what's coming next...there is no doubt in my mind it will be good!
