Nothin' much to say, just thought it was about time to add some pictures to my blog. Some of these are a few weeks old others are from this weekend when we celebrated Grandpa Thurber's 80th birthday.

The God of Yoga

I have been doing yoga on a regular basis for a little over 6 months now. It is the only form of exercise that I have ever found that I enjoy and actually look forward to doing. God, being cool as He is, uses all kinds of things to teach me truth and I am ever so thankful for it. I would love to tell you that I spend hours in the word every day, have weekly meetings with a Godly woman mentor who inspires me to great heights and spend the time in between serving the poor while I am meditating. Alas, that would be a giant load of crap. Currently, the Almighty seems to be showing me some truth while I do yoga; here is some of the latest inspirations: -While in balancing poses, you must keep your eyes on one spot of focus. The moment you start looking around, you start tipping. Watch someone fall and it doesn't take much to do you in. That is so like life.That is sooooo me. The moment I take my focus of God and his Love is when I notice what everyone else is doing. I start feeling ins

I don't wanna

-I don't wanna fold the load of laundry that I have already had to re-wash one due to neglect. -I don't wanna answer anymore questions from Elie including but not limited to "What did God make cat's out of?" and -I don' wanna call any more doctors offices to be told "no". Why is it that if I wanted to kill this baby I wouldn't get any flack, but since I want to give birth to it (instead of it being cut out of me) that no one is interested in helping me? What happened to "my body my choice"? -I don't wanna deal with the trash can full of nasty diapers that is sitting in my hallway smelling up the upstairs. I hate taking out the trash -I don't wanna have to look up all the groceries adds on line AGAIN because for some reason the mail man has decided he hates me and not longer puts them in the box. -I don't wanna make dinner....and I'm not going to. -I don't wanna deal with yet another hormone headache. Time to drink

Comfort Level

I am reading a book right now "Eat, Love,Pray". It is about a woman who had a rough break-up of her marriage and is a quest to find...her life again. First she stops in Italy, that is the "eat" part of the book. Now I am at the part she is in a ashram in India. A disclaimer: I am not Buddhist , nor do I fully understand what all they believe, but I love a lot of the views this author expresses about who she believes God is and what He desires for her life. I am a firm believer God can speak truth through whomever he chooses and pass on wisdom in any way He desires. There is a part in the book where she commits to spending an hour in meditation, listening to God. She chooses a bench in the garden to sit on and soon is swarmed by mosquito's . As she sits quietly, she considers giving up and going someplace else until she realizes that is what she always does when she is uncomfortable, she runs. This got me thinking, as good books will do, how much of my life is s
