currently

sitting in my office (which is a small desk in my crowded master bedroom) with a space heater blowing continuously at my feet.

getting ready to make the school pickup run

feeling filled up after going to bible study this morning.  i will look back at this time and see many blessings (quite honestly, i see many already.)  one of them, is being able to go to bible study.  not only engaging in the word, but doing so with a great group of women (and a few men joining us for our current study). 

avoiding housework and meal prep at all costs

loving this show.  i was up till 1:00 last night (not one of my wisest choices albeit) watching missed episodes.

excited for Friday night basketball.  mac's team is rocking it this year

smiling when i remember Charlie's words of wisdom yesterday.

Seriously?!?!?!?

Dear Facebook Friend:

This letter is to inform you that I have decided to de-friend you. While i still consider myself your friend, i can no longer take your political opinions.

Did you know that I voted for Obama? Yep, I did, and i would do it again. I would love to put a big fat Obama sticker on my car, but i don't really believe in putting signage on my car, that as well as being afraid my car might get egged in the church parking lot.

I will be the first to admit that I'm not politically savvy. Sure I do my civic duty and vote and try to educate myself on the candidates and their platforms, but it really hasn't been until this last election cycle that i really, truly investigated and researched and came to my conclusion about my vote. Before that, i pretty much voted Republican b/c of one issue, not because I necessarily support the platform. So basically what that means, is that i don't really support either party, i support the candidate. As a result, if i felt that Obama was whacked i would be OK with saying that, but to be honest I don't. Yet, i do want to hear both sides...maybe i should start a new party...the wish was hies. But man, when you post links to blogs that in my opinion are whacked, i think you have bad motives.

Why are we, this country, in such an uproar over the health care changes being discussed? Goodness we don't even have a bill...they are still putting a bill together. Is it worth people losing their fingers or getting in fights? At this point, i don't think so. Do you really want your president to fail? Really? Do you wish that on people...failure?? What would happen if we focused our negative energy on prayer, prayer for our country, prayer for our people, prayer for our president?

So goodbye my facebook friend, we'll see you later.

Your Obama Loving Friend,

Stevie

Words of Wisdom

Sometimes I get a little annoyed by the email that comes to you with a little diddy and then tells you to send it to x number of people so you don’t have bad luck or you find out who all your friends are. Every once in while there’s a good one out there and I thought the message below was a good one to remember…
Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right.. Forget about the one's who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it. Friends are like balloons; once you let them go, you might not get them back. Sometimes we get so busy with our own lives and problems that we may not even notice that we've let them fly away. Sometimes we are so caught up in who's right and who's wrong that we forget what's right and wrong. Sometimes we just don't realize what real friendship means until it is too late.
