Status Report: May
Tuesday, May 4, 2010 at 10:07AM Copying Lisa.
Sitting…at the big mahogany table that used to be a dining room table but is now my desk, and anticipating the day when my status report says I’m sitting in the adirondack chair on the front porch.
Drinking…nothing, but I am eating a big bowl of hot Red River cereal with dried cranberries, raisins, maple syrup and milk.
Welcoming…I can tell you what I’m not welcoming: any more snow. And the rain could go away, too.
Praying…that God will give me the strength and skills to do all the things I need to do over the next few months.
Feeling…ready for green—green grass, green leaves, green garden. A few blooming flowers wouldn’t hurt either.
Trying to memorize…the pronunciation of the words to all the non-English language songs the choir is singing for an upcoming service.
Missing…the days when every single day was full of children.
Pondering…what to write here. Should I make up something profound so you think I’m deep? Or should I tell the truth and show how shallow I am?
Realizing…that I’m not a spring chicken.
Reading…Always Ready
Recommending…hot Red River cereal with dried cranberries, raisins, maple syrup and milk. I’d recommend the Greg Bahnsen book, but I’m afraid it might be one of those weird things that I enjoy but no one else does.
Wanting…a little more enthusiasm, a little more energy, an organized basement, a little more love for God.
Wondering…what tomorrow will be, and next year. And eternity.

I love Red River cereal. I will have to try the dried cranberry idea. I usually just use brown sugar and milk.
Wishing I could send you some of our green and our sunshine! I am out on the porch and, I have to tell you, it is gorgeous out today! May spring come your way and quickly!
I enjoyed reading Always Ready! So how weird could it be that you like it, too?
But it's not really like most other books, is it? Not even like those old classics. I've been looking for good quotes to post as I read, but I've realized it's just not that kind of book.
I'm with you on not wanting anymore snow! And my curiosity is piqued about "Always Ready."
I kind of like your taste in things.
No, it's a book to chew on and think about. You'll enjoy sorting through the last chapter on Acts 17.
I bought my book from an Amazon second-seller and guess who owned my book first? Justin Taylor. : D
Well, that's cool!
I've already peeked at the last chapter and I can't wait.
