What's On My Mind?
I saw this headline this morning and couldn't help but chuckle: "Bill Clinton Needs 25 Interns For Meaningful Service". (Imagine Bill Clinton voice imitation here: 'Honey, I've got a very important job for you!') Here's the link if you're interested.
The MHDC Dancers had a great weekend at KAR in Northampton, MA. I'm proud of the team. I'm especially proud of Amanda - she showed me the heart of a champ this weekend.
Simeon, Derrick, Mike, Brian, Shelton and Booger. Without a new Collective Bargaining Agreement in the NFL, these and more of my favorite Buccaneers may be leaving Tampa. It's setting up to be a sad day in Tampa Bay. (And yes, that 350lb. d-lineman likes to be called Booger - What do you have to say about it?)
My mom's health - she was recently diagnosed with diabetes. She always rises to a challenge, so I will once again be inspired to see her face this one.
Winter break for the girls from school. Chores, chores, chores! And they collectively groan, "DAD!"
Maderyna - a young friend in Namibia who is said to be living on her own at 14. He is a 'Father to the fatherless'. I pray to see that truth realized tangibly very soon in her young life.
A quote that a friend just sent me from a Lee Stoebel book: "To have a relationship with Jesus Christ goes beyond just knowing the historical facts about him, yet it's rooted in the historical facts about him. I believe in Jesus on the basis of the historical evidence, but my relationship with Jesus goes way beyond the evidence. I have to put my trust in him and walk with him on a daily basis."
What will people think when they find out you're a Jesus Freak?
Dog, the Bounty Hunter... why is he on my mind? I don't know. My mind is a dangerous place.
What's on your mind?

My mind is pondering such things as what do you do if you really believe God is calling you to do something, but things seem to be stacked against you... when is a single woman supposed to be submissive, and when is she supposed to stand up and fight... why would any journalist use the words "Clinton, interns, and service" in a headline? What a bummer about all the BUcs stuff... remember I drove 9 hours to Austria to watch the superbowl at the Hooters in the town where Arnold Schwarzenagger was born... my poor Bucs.
I have a lot of things on my mind and that's probably why I have had a headache all weekend....

I have Leanne on my mind. Hi Leanne! Dog sounds like fun. Gotta go see if he's on!

I don't know Dog. Is that a bad thing? Things on my mind....Namibia, my Mom's upcoming surgery, how to be a good mother, a good daughter, a good believer, and a good friend!

Leanne,
Your words in these posts seem always to encourage conversation.
The "single submissive woman" track of the 70s through 90s really got the church going wrong, I believe. I think this is worth a good conversation all its own.
As for myself... I'd say, grab some prayer partners and PRAY like crazy ... then act.
Remember Deborah, remember Ruth, remember Rahab...
