| Summer Days..... |
Today is a lazy one, other than having to take care of a few VBS housekeeping items, I didn't have much to do.
Although today has been slow, my life lately has not. Kent and I have been waiting for months for them to approve his military transfer from Air Force National Guard to Army National Guard. No, he hasn't even been to basic training, but it was necessary and I'll spare you the story today. Well, FINALLY they have finished signing the paper work and we are now on a roll. Kent doesn't have a leave date yet, but it will come soon enough. I just keep reminding myself to breathe and not panic. I'm not one to panic, but months without my honey is going to be tough. Maybe I'll keep this more up to date and it'll be my sanctuary for that time, who knows.
Until then,
Me |

| Sifted... |
| Do you ever feel like you're being sifted? Not necessarily in a bad way, but just plain ole sifted. Some days I feel as if my whole being is getting a good sifting, even my feet. Like I am going through some sort of intense inspection of who I am at all times. Maybe I am finally discovering myself after 28 years, a husband and child. It's been fun most of the time, but sometimes I am very exposed. Exposed to myself mostly, which is scary enough in itself, but exposed to others sometimes and that's just down right embarrassing. I am going through a micro-inventory of myself. Does that make sense? I get to choose what I want to keep and what I want to throw away. I like it....I hate it. We all wish we could hand pick what we want our significant others to be like...almost like a take out menu. "Keep the mustard, take off the onions, can you add some cheese?" Down to the minutest detail...."Can you hold all the salt?". We would love to indulge our self in such practice, but lately I've been getting to do it to myself. At first it was difficult, but as time goes by it gets easier. Instead of ignoring the onion pieces of myself I just remove them. There, I smell better now. lol My point......SIFT YOURSELF INSTEAD OF OTHERS. :) |

| Medical Billing Smedical Billing.... |
Wow, spent 2 hours today to find out that my daughters well visits are NOT covered by our insurance. Well, that would have been nice to know, say, about 3 visits ago. After speaking with our insurance company for the second time (I called them 2 months ago and they stated my bills were denied due to a coding problem....thanks for that one.) I finally found out what the problem is. Now I'm trying to negotiate a price with the doctors office so that I am not paying 2000.00 in shots that I could have gotten free at a health clinic. I promise I looked through our benefits package carefully, not ever did I see that well baby visits aka child preventative care wasn't covered. Way to start out a new year....with a new debt. Yikes! I know that God is sufficient and I need not worry. However, these surprises are not wanted.
After today began with my neighbors house catching on fire, Reagan getting shots and now this new medical billing dilemma I sure hope the day ends on a lighter note.

| Grace |
I'm back reading the book "What's So Amazing About Grace" by Philip Yancey, thanks to Father Vince McLaughlin. It's taken me almost a year to actually read it. I read about 8 chapters then quit and decided I needed to reread it all to get the full impact. I'm so glad that I've pushed myself to finish reading it. This book has stretched my mind quite a bit about what grace is, what Christianity is and how we've distorted it.
The big impact for the day is this: When did we lose sight of the message of the Gospel and started putting morality in the forefront? Wow, what a thought. Philip Yancey wrote a chapter on the focus on morality as Christians and how in the New Testament there is little focus on non-Christians and morality, but a good amount on Christians and morality. It's true, when did we forget the real reason why we are Christians? When did we become moral police officers? I want to love and preach the real message of Christ, not patrol moral decisions. (This does not mean that I agree with immoral choices, please do not misunderstand.) As I am writing this I realize that I have been scared to preach the gospel for this very reason. I've been thinking that I need to challenge morals when really all I need to do is share God's love and give grace.

| The alcoholic Father |
Glad to post this in a forum where I know no one.
Oh Dad what are you doing
My sweet Dad how could you dare
Millions of broken pieces
Could never be put together again
If I could save you, I would
If I could be there to bear your pain, I would
If I could take it all away, I would
Oh Dad look in the mirror
Oh sweet Dad look all around
The hurting faces, the wounds
Can never be taken away
If I could perform a miracle, I would
If I could carry your shame, I would
If I could heal your heart, I would
Oh Dad how could you look away
My sweet Dad see what you've done |
