Yesterday when the cable guy finally showed up, I thought I might kiss him! It has been a long 19 days without Internet or cable. During that time one of my favorite shows came back, The Closer. I had been so sad (and mad) that I was missing it. When I got home last night from work I jumped for joy as it is on the On Demand. Guess where I was last night? Firmly glued to the couch!
I will put some pictures up of the new house as soon as I find my little memory thingy. I may need to give up the search and just by a new one at this point.
All the girls are fine. Chad is in heaven with his bees and his new plan to have a chicken coop. On some level I enjoy all the "naturalness" or as Meghan says, "he is getting to be MORE of a redneck". Notice the more portion of it.
Work, is slow (real estate) and kinda stressful. It's weird how stressed I feel at the end of a day of basically doing...nothing! They are planning to let some people go in the office if it stays this slow. My position should be fine, but I may end up being the only staff person at the office. That will mean most days I will be there all day by myself. I'm dreading it and I feel horribly about the other people.
I have been teaching the youth the last couple of weeks and have had a blast! The first week we talked about how we needed to focus on God a few mins. everyday. Knowing that a lot of the teens there have cell phones and texting, I thought, 'how about if I text you a Bible verse first thing in the morning and last thing at night before I go to bed?'
Can I just say before this started my texting skills were almost non-existent? Now they have improved but it is a little harder than I thought it would be. First I just can't bring myself to use the texting lingo with Bible verses it seems just plain wrong to me. Second, all my favorite verses are a little on the long side when I am trying to text them! Last night I was blessed by God reminding me of the verse that says, "Stop doing wrong and learn to do right."
I personally took that as a verse that showed God was ok with my TV obsession last night. Chad on the other hand thought it might have been a warning on the Closer.
Lastly for today, it feels good to know tomorrow I will be able to post again! Thanks to you all that kept checking in even though nothing was there new!

I'm glad you're back!
And I'm very happy for you that you have "On Demand."
I just starting watching "The Closer," after my mom begging me too.
My husband and I both love it now.
So I'm sure that was a terribly long 19 days for you.;) I don't like to miss my shows either.:)
I'm looking forward to your pictures!
Great idea on texting the Bible verses! That is an awesome way to reach teens.
God Bless,
Amy:)
Glad your back in blogger world and the move is over. Cant wait to see pics of the new homestead.
You may be able to send the text messages via e-mail- that way it would be easier for you to type them out
Oh, Jenny -- I think texting the verses in text-speak is an AMAZING way to reach kids. You must do this! I want to know how it works out, and then I'll pass it along to my youth staff.
Welcome back Jenny!!
Welcome back & love the bible verses being texted!
Welcome back!
I've been checking and waiting!
Can't wait to see some photos.
love the texting scripture idea! I just read in the P31 magazine to text to your teens since that's how they "communicate".
MISS YOU!! :)
