The electricity went out! I so take it for grantedthat I forgot what a blessing it is. I suddenly realized how little I could to without it.
I thought, well, I will just heat some water and enjoy a cup of tea. The stove is electric. Okay, I will get some of those pictures hung in the hall that have been waiting on me. Hall is dark without lights.
Really grateful it is a warm, fall day as our heater requires electricity and so does our fireplace.
Can’t work on the computer – back to pen and paper. Can’t read unless I sit by the window. Can’t cook or clean. (Oh! Too bad!!) Can’t watch TV or talk on the phone. We may have to go out to lunch and sit and talk to each other face to face. :)
Hmmmmm. Amazing how quickly challenges can become blessings!!

What I learned in the early years of marriage:

- Past time for an update!
Okay, so it is way past time for an update on the progress of Tough Times Don't Last ~ Tough Women Do!! Simply put, it seems that we've been so busy with getting it 'to' press date, along with all the other activities of life, that we've just neglected making the time to share the info.

- Glorify Him in All Things
I wasn’t just sobbing, my soul was crying out. I vomited. I hung up the phone with my husband and vomited again. And then I knew without a shadow of doubt what I had to do, for really, there was nothing else to do.
I praised and rejoiced and thanked our Creator for what...
- When I Grow Up….
“When I grow up life will be so easy, I will have all the money I need for anything I want to spend it on. I know I will because my parents do. I will have so much time to do just want I want to. I know I will because no one ever...

As I was looking out at the most beautiful snow scene this morning, it occurred to me what a phenomenal thing it is that of all of those zillions of snowflakes, no two are alike.
Of all of the millions of people that have, are, and perhaps will live on this earth, none of us will...
- Things could be worse…
I told my husband that I had been repeating to myself, “Things could be worse; things could be worse.” And his reply has given me perspective ever since: “But this is pretty bad.” Yeah, this is pretty bad. Admitting that doesn’t diminish my faith in the God who controls things and loves me. It’s only...
- God’s Skill Drills
Breezy is a constant reminder to me, occasionally she’ll think she now has barrel racing mastered. I can just see it in her eyes when she’s saying “Kelci, I could win this race by myself, I don’t need your help!” Well she’s probably right, but her attitude isn’t very nice. Since we do have...
- Accepting The Unacceptable
There were many times during our son’s illness that things would happen and if not for a silent prayer, I would not have gotten through them. About three weeks after his first chemo treatment, he took a shower one morning, and handfuls of hair came out and were clinging around the drain in the shower...
