Read it here first.

Unless of course it's already Monday and you've already read Dr Wilson's "It's Monday Again.."

As of today, it is official that Jeremiah and I will be leaving Monticello at the end of this Conference year (June). We feel that God is speaking and showing us that it is time to leave Monticello, and so with heavy hearts, this morning Jeremiah tendered our resignation to the congregation.

Do we have somewhere else lined up? No - this is a complete step of faith. We have not been speaking to other churches; "greener pastures" have not lured us in.

Pray for us as we go in faith, believing that God will make our way clear, one step at a time.

We are praying for others who we know to be in the same position. Remember that God has a place and a plan for each and every one of us. Trust in him, and he will show you that plan.

RIP, Fishie

I thought she was pregnant. Apparently it was a little more serious than that.

She will be greatly missed.

It's too bad too. She would have been a great mom - provided I could manage to keep her from eating her young...

hum drum

I'm bored.

*M*A*S*H* quote :

Interviewer: What do you do when you're bored?
Hawkeye Pierce: What do we do when we're bored... The same thing as when we're not bored, only slower.

Check in next week. Maybe I'll have something interesting to say.

Dear Cronin Family
I did not know your daughter. From what I heard about her, she was a great friend to many. I only wish that I could have known her.

I have retracted my earlier blog. I apologize for any hurt that I may have caused. My intentions were none of the sort. My prayers and my continued condolences are with you all.

I love my husband.

Sweet Dreams???

Jeremiah and I started the South Beach diet last week (this is day 6). I was not feeling well for the first 3 or 4 days, probably because my system was on withdrawal from all the sugars and starches that it has grown to love.... I have gotten past the feeling sick stage - except for in the mornings - my stomach has NEVER been able to handle bacon and eggs in the morning (yes, even Canadian bacon and egg substitute doesn't settle *or* sound appealing to me) -=--- and NO, it is not morning sickness and I am *not* pregnant --- back to the real story. So I usually eat sliced turkey for breakfast. At least it's a food that is permitted.

Anyway, I haven't really been feeling the craving for sugars anymore. That is, I haven't been feeling the cravings **while I'm awake**. For the last three nights, I have woken myself up having bad dreams (or sweet dreams perhaps) about nothing but sugar. In one, I was at Bethany, and all Greg was serving in the cafeteria was sweets and candies. I couldn't get enough. There was never a point in the dream where I was not carrying (and eating) at least 3 cookies or Nanaimo bars (college favourite) in my hand. The last night, I believe I was in high school, that fit the setting better than college would have. Anyway, I would skip my classes because I was eating cookies!! Then, by the time I went to class, I was still eating treats.....

Is my body trying to tell me something??? I have asked Jeremiah to not tell me to have "sweet dreams" tonight!!!
