I am a house-loving, bargain-hunting mother of 3 little ones. I love creamy coffee, my good-smelling man, a clean kitchen and a nicely painted wall. I am sometimes tricked into believing that I have to be amazing and perfect while saving the world. I am learning what it means to trust Jesus to be Himself in and through me.
I delight in finding the
holy moments
in the midst of everyday life.

Tuesday, after a reckless
and used day,
I was running and running
without a chance to stop
and chat at the sky
And finally, I stopped
for a breath in the evening.
And suddenly, I was caught
by the scenery...
painting a picture of You.

oh yes! We had this when Jeff was in the ministry--and he wasn't even the youth pastor. Remember, they only pick on those they love! :-)
OH my, so glad to find you. Your sister showed me the way. Can't wait to read more and find out about your new house.

hysterical! Too funny
lovely!
I like the look!
Nice...did your sprinklers turn on? That's always nice...
Did you recycle?
At least they were thorough.
Ha! I was one of those youth group kids that did that to our youth pastor! So funny! I love that you got a picture of it! You are so great at capturing all your memories!
Oh look---now you have forks enough to use for the rest of the year :)! It sure is festive looking!!!
What was your first reaction?
and I am afraid to say it....
Do you think this will be the last?
Wow, they did a good job! I wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry. But since it's not my mess to clean, I am totally laughing!
My first thought was What do your new neighbors think? I know bil lives there but what about the others? I'm sure they think riff raff has moved in. LOL!! :)
totally gave me the giggles.
I miss the days when I actually did that--but to boys I liked.
At least it wasn't styrofoam cups (full of sprinkler water)toothpicked into the ground. I knew who did that one and returned the favor.
You have great trees for TPing...really, you can't blame them. Far too tempting :).
I do think you should reuse the forks the next time they all come over for some snacks. If not to eat from then make a fun picture for their youth room.
i remember those days!
looks like you have the perfect yard for a little "rolling"...
That's a first for me...... never seen that before!
Hilarious!.... did you find the little bliters and make them clean up????? teehee
please don't blame me for my brothers actions. . . haha. yeah im sorry about that i swear we're not really related. one of us must have been adopted.
I got ya. I teach high schoolers. Enough said. :)
Well, welcome to the neighborhood!
my husband is a youth minister too. how in the world we've managed to not get tp'ed over the last 7 years is beyond me. in august he's leaving youth ministry to start teaching at a private school. scary. i hope the snobby teenagers don't find out where i live. but seriously, now that i've typed this, we'll probably get tp'ed this weekend. sigh.
Mine is too! Amazingly we get T.P. ed on Saturday nights when my husband has to be at church at 5:30 the next day. Guess who cleans up? The one at home desperately trying to flat iron her hair and get two spicy toddlers ready in time for the 10:30 service. Oh, and we get "forked" all of the time too. Imagine crawling on the lawn plucking out 500 plastic forks. Fun fun fun!
my dad is a pastor and my mom's a teacher, so we grew up with this phenomenon.
to get rid of the tp, just light a match to it. it burns up so quickly that it won't hurt the grass or trees. of course, it doesn't work if it's wet. :( just wait until it dries out.
no answer for the forks, though. that was past my high school years. i like "cath"'s suggestion of using the forks at your next youth event. that's funny!
