The Lord has continually, over the past week or so, been giving me this verse as an encouragement, "Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will cry to You, when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I." Psalm 61:1-2.Oh, how I have been overwhelmed. Today I was just praying through all the things going on and people suffering, and just was crying over all the needs as I lifted them up to the Lord. I am weeping with those that weep and right ...

Angus Lost
Caleb and I spent the week with the cute little black doggy named Angus, from the book by Marjorie Flack entitled Angus Lost. I happened to realize that this is my LAST YEAR to do all things "preschool" with any of my kids. ('scuze me as I go weep in the bathroom.) So, I need to be pulling out all these wonderful Before Five in a Row titles, other preschool favorites and fitting them in. Now! Caleb just eats up anything I find for him to do! I haven't known how he would enjoy ... Read More about Angus Lost
