Birthday /baseball /children's church

First of all... this is for my sweet sweet sister in Maine!!

I love you Bean!

Second of all (great grammer, eh?), I just want to say that the Yankees are bugging me. They are in extra innings for the second night in a row. I hope Toronto has the stamina to hold them off again tonight.

Third of all, I must tell you that my children are excited about children's church tomorrow morning. The teen class is helping out with the worship, and the teens are excited about ministering to the younger ones. My husband just came home from rehearsal and told the boys what a great time they will be having tomorrow. Cool!

The evil empire (aka NYY) just won the game. *sigh* Oh well. As long as Boston wins tonight we'll be okay. Time for me to go anyway, I just got a call from a friend at church and she needs prayer. So off I go. Thank you Lord that we can come boldy before your throne, carrying the needs of others to you on the wings of prayer! You are awesome, God!

Christianity and baseball

I have come to the conclusion that the all-American sport of baseball is contrary to my Christianity. It's ridiculous! I sat here at the computer this evening (because I don't have a TV) and YELLED at the screen (like the pitcher could hear me) and displayed MUCH carnality! I was so frustrated with the Toronto relief pitcher for HANDING the game over to the Yankees at the bottom of the 9th inning. Grrrr.... This game is NOT good for my Christianity. At least the Red Sox won, although it isn't much to brag about as they played the worst team in the league......



Anyway, baseball playoff season is generally an ugly time here in our house, as we are a divided house... 2 Yankees, and 2 Red Sox fans. It is this way in homes all across New England. It is just the way life is here. Just like we can count on the leaves to turn gorgeous colors here in the fall, we can also expect family members to turn on one another and get in emotional conflicts... over BASEBALL!! Ridiculous, but true nonetheless.



In other news in my life (yes, I have a life), my son Adam brought home a new thing yesterday.... a trumpet. Yes, if the drums weren't enough to convince our landlord we need to be evicted, this just might do it. Just kidding. We have about a dozen rules in place about when and where the trumpet can be played in this 6 unit apartment building. God have mercy... it's a good thing we have a good relationship with our neighbors! Adam is pretty excited about learning the trumpet. He's also doing really well with his Moo Gong Do training, and will be testing for his orange belt the end of October.



And now, a picture my mother-in-law sent me... which pretty much describes my reason for NOT blogging here lately...

I am honestly trying not to be so addicted to this blasted computer! I am afraid that I have a long way to go....

Anyway, that is all for now. The Yankees/Toronto game is now in the bottom of the 13th inning, when in fact it never should have gotten past the 9th! Argh! I need to go to bed. Pray for our family during playoff season! LOL!

Fire Station

Hello world. I just want to take this moment to inform you that indeed, I do still exist. I have not evaporated from the face of planet Earth. I just haven't felt much like blogging lately... lots of personal issues going on, consuming my brain power.

I am currently sitting at the computer in the dispatch office of our local fire dept. while the boys watch the Red Sox / Yankees game (btw.. Sox are ahead 5-1... hee hee hee)! We are here because we had a cub scout meeting this evening here.

Currently, my husband is telling me it's time to go now that I am blogging... we've only been here for 3 1/2 hours...... *sigh* Oh well. Guess this is all you are getting from me tonight. Time to go! Bye!
