1 Chronicles 29:10-12

So David blessed the Lord in the sight of all the assembly; and David said,
"Blessed are You, O Lord God of Israel our father, forever and ever.
Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory
and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth;
Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all.
Both riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all, and in Your hand
is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to make great and to strengthen everyone."

Another "Last"

My last child now has a driver's license. I knew this day would come, and it is a bit freeing for me, but... So many of the things in my life are coming to an end this year. I now have no more children that I have to teach to drive. First thing Moriah said when we got in the car after she passed her driver's test was that I am no longer in instructor mode, now I am in critique mode. As nice as that sounds, to me it is just another "last" I will be going through over the next few months.  Sure, it will be nice to have another person to send to the store for a few items when I don't want to get out. And it will be nice that she can take herself to dance and bring herself home instead of having to stop whatever I may be doing in order to make the run. I'm sure she will be glad not to have to rely on having someone be able to take her where she wants/needs to go. However, while her world is opening up for her, mine is going through another closing. I am reli...

White Christmas

What a treat! We had a white Christmas here in Woodstock. It snowed all day and a good part of the next day. Christmas this year was on Saturday. Due to the dangerous road conditions, church was canceled for Sunday. Deborah, Neal and Amelia spent the day with us Christmas Day. Because of the road conditions, they spent the night as well. It was so nice having a baby in the house again. The day was very nice. We ate a leisurely breakfast (around noon!) and then exchanged gifts. It is so much fun to watch your loved ones open gifts you've given them, hoping they enjoy them as much as you anticipate! No "major" gifts this year, but a lot of love given with every item. We cooked a big lunch/dinner of ham and macaroni/cheese and so forth. My family could eat mac and cheese 365 days a year! After the dishes were cleaned, again, it was game time. We always play games together on Christmas. We played card games this year: Oh, Shoot and Hit the Deck. This took us well into the wee...

Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning

September 11, 2001. The title to this entry is a song by Alan Jackson written after the events of 9/11. Where were you when you heard about the attack? Will you ever forget that day? I was actually still in bed when my daughter came to my room and told me that a plane had just crashed into the World Congress Center. What? Honey, that's physically not possible. Yes, Mom, it's true! So, I climb out of bed and go downstairs where the girls are watching TV. Sure enough, a plane had crashed into a building. Only, it's not the World Congress Center. It's the World Trade Center! Unbelievable! For the next few minutes as we watch and listen to the commentators on TV, not real sure themselves what is happening, all of a sudden another plane is spotted in the sky headed straight for the other World Trade Center tower. We watch, horrified, as this plane smashes into the tower and fire erupts, debris flying everywhere. This is bizarre to say the least. I was standing on my ...
