BAF 5 Points

Bay Area Fellowship has opened up a new campus in the 5 Points area and even though I am very excited about that, I am especially excited about this...
And this...

And this...

Yes, that's my Byron helping out with the worship and I am so proud! He is so much more talented than I ever was and I love to see him using his gifts to serve the Lord. To read more about their launch, check out Pastor Jason's blog and get the full scoop. I totally stole these pics from him!

Pandora's Box

There is a closet in my house that I never open because if I did, everything would fall out. It's a closet in our study that served as the catch-all when we moved in 4 years...yes, 4 YEARS ago. But after reading Alene's post here, I was inspired to tackle what I have come to call "Pandora's Box". Because I have not seen any of this stuff in so long, I realized that each pile of clutter needed organizing in itself. For example, piles and piles of pictures have lived in this closet. Now they need their own space. And tax returns from the last several years really should be in a file of their own. And office supplies that I did not know I had...and the list could go on and on. It was pretty overwhelming because each item I "discovered" started a chain reaction on what to do with it. But I made it through and finished my weekend project with time to spare. So thanks, Alene, for the inspiration! I feel so much better now!

Only Three Weeks Away...

It's hard to believe, but we are just three short weeks away from Byron and Meg's wedding! It just doesn't seem possible. I have to say that Meg is everything that I have ever prayed for in a daughter-in-law and I can't wait until she is officially mine. Having two boys has been the sweetest blessing, but for years I have longed for a girl of my own and I'm about to get her!

Most of my wedding to-do list is marked off except one thing. Byron and I can't seem to come up with a song for the mother-son dance. Meg and her dad are dancing to "Cinderella" by Stephen Curtis Chapman and I haven't made it through that song once without crying. So by the time their dance is over, I'll be a mess. I was really hoping to find a song for B and I that won't leave me in a heap!

This is the happy couple in New Mexico this past Christmas. Precious to me!!!

Happy 4th!

I have so much to be thankful for, but today especially, I'm thankful for the freedom to live the life I choose. And I'm grateful for those who fight to protect that freedom. My Sohl Friend says it so well...Happy Independence Day everyone!
