Just some thoughts....

So, once again I find myself wanting to write, but not having too much to say. I have a few scattered thoughts that I guess will suffice for tonight's blog.

First and foremost, I can tell you what an amazing evening we had last night! Bob and I were joined by a friend of ours and we attended a special Praise & Prayer night at church in honor of the National Day of Prayer. It was a great time singing and praising God, while praying for our country, our state, our city and our church. Several people got up and briefly spoke, and led the group in prayer. It was nice hearing what's on different people's hearts. After hearing one of them speak, we took a few moments for silent prayer, and as I dropped to my knees and became silent, it occurred to me what I needed to pray for. I don't want my children to grow up in a school where they can't pray. I don't want them to grow up in a school system that takes the word "God" out of the pledge of allegiance. I remember the beginning of every football game starting with a prayer. Not just the players in the huddle, but the entire stadium...over the loud speaker. I can't afford to have my children in private Christian school (though the thought gets more appealing every day), so I'll just have to hope that God will place Christian leaders in our state, our school boards and in our schools.

Secondly, let me just say that Bob and I are still having such a great time getting involved in the Church. We absolutely love VCC, and look forward each day to the next time that we can go there. In that light, we talked yesterday about how wonderful it would be for that to be your job. No corporate America, just being in the house of the Lord all day. How lucky are the people that get to do that? To get to go spend your day in such a peaceful place...making a living and providing for your family by serving God full-time. Wow. I long for that.

I am still very much looking forward to meeting up with some Church friends outside of church, but we haven't gotten there, yet. We continue to meet new people each week we attend, and hopefully soon, we'll find some people that like to sit around, hang out and play board games like we do. :)

It's funny...I wanted to win the lottery before because I wanted a new house, new car, new handbag, etc.... Now, I want to win the lottery so I can donate to the church, help with missions, go to DBU and get my masters in Christian Education, put the kids in a Christian school.... Such changes in my life, and I still feel I need to win the lottery. Guess some things never change. :)
