Did you know.....

...that the year is almost 1/12th of the way over???  Can you believe it???  I haven't written one post all year!!!  So, HAPPY BELATED NEW YEAR!!!!

...that I have decided not to make a list of goals and resolutions for this year???  Instead I've decided to focus on One Word for the entire year.  My word is GROW.  I don't want to grow in height (or weight for that matter!!!)  But I want to GROW deeper in my relationships, GROW more intentional in the time I give to my family, GROW in wisdom and understanding of God, GROW in how I am able to be a servant leader. 

...that I have a new job???  Our church has been part of a 7-charge Cooperative Parish for 12 years.  Last year I was on staff with that Parish as the Youth Coordinator.  After much praying and deliberating our Church decided to step away from the Parish, hire a full-time pastor, a secretary and a Children/Youth Leader.  My position with the Parish dissolved at the end of the year and I am now on staff and serving my home church as the Children/Youth Leader. 

...that we don't have TV hooked up in our house???  When we moved, there was not option for switching our cable to the new house.  So we could either go with Dish or get a converter box which would allow us to get the main local stations.  We decided not to do either.  The television is hooked up for movies and video games on the weekend.  It has been so freeing to not be owned by a Prime Time line up!!!!  We have been spending more intentional time together as a family and as a couple. When we do watch a movie it is usually together. 

...that we have been playing a lot of board games lately???  Little Dude really likes Memory and Sorry!

"I WIN!  I WIN!!!"

....that it is a lot of fun to put on your swim trunks and "swim" in mommy and daddy's bath tub on a day off from school with your brother??
