Alright, fine

Joel says I'm not really a quitter, just that I'm lazy.  I can take that, even though it seems like that can't possibly be true, maybe it is.  Because as we were talking with Hannah today, I was reminded of the whole, "if you're smart, you don't have to work as hard at some things" thing.  I'd like to think that I'm a smart lazy person vs a flat out quitter ;-) 

Anyway, enough of that.  Joel and I went on to talk about the school plans for this coming year.  Hannah is ready to get started with class again.  I think I have a pathway set up before us that might very well work.  I'm planning on doing a Five in a Row style class with the book of Genesis.  Taking a chapter at a time reading the same chapter each day of the week and then doing various lessons based on our objectives.  It could be awesome or it could be disasterous.  We'll see, luckily I'm a lazy smart person, so if it's not working, I'll find a way to do what needs to be done with less effort on my part, as opposed to making something that doesn't work complete itself for the sake of not being a quitter. 

In other news, we are enjoying our week off together.  I saw something last night that I have not seen in quite some time, Hannah crawled up on Joel's lap and asked to be held.  She does this to me all the time.  But it really struck me that she had not been doing this with Joel.  There could be a plethora of reasons, but instead of pursuing them in my brain, I will just enjoy the sight of such a tender moment and wish that I had my camera with me at the time. 

I have a goal for this week and it is to make it down to the DIA and see some art!  As well as work on my novel.  We've been resting from one another quite long enough.  It's time for me to get to work.  I'm also planning on pleating one of the two dresses I'm supposed to make for Hannah this summer.  It's been a quiet time around her with Lent and Holy week.  I think it's time for me to start making some noise!

Sweet Caroline by Kelda Poynot

  First off, my copy of Sweet Caroline  (aff link) is not a gifted review book, I spent my well earned Amazon No-Rush Rewards money on this book. Second of all, this is not my standard close door kind of romance. Third of all, this is a really fun read. Caroline is a hard working young lady that is doing all that she can to make ends meet and to get her graduate degree. Part of that work is renting out the room above her garage. When she answers the phone of an unknown number, believing it's a future tenant, she has no idea how much her life is about to change.  The young man on the other end of that call, Hashim, is tall, dark, and mysterious in all the right ways. The story quickly moves from the girl next door falling for a stranger to a fight for their lives. And in true real life fashion, those fights aren't just with external enemies but the ones we carry within.  It's an entertaining story of Caroline and Hashim, discovering their love for each other and fighting to

Loving Disagreement by Kathy Khang and Matt Mikalatos

  If you're human, which I'm assuming you are if you found your way here, there will come a moment in your life when you're right and they're wrong and you're going to have to not win because the relationship is more important than your rightness It might be over where to go to dinner, which type of coat to wear for the weather, what ever it may be, you're going to find yourself there. Khang and Mikalatos have got together and written Loving Disagreement for that exact moment, especially if that exact moment isn't occurring with a loved one but with someone you encountered on the internet or maybe the break room at work, the where and who don't really matter because we can be loving towards anyone, even when we're not in relationship with the offending person. The book uses the concept of the fruit of the spirit to go through different ways to handle conflict. Khang and Mikalatos take turns writing the meat of each section but there's a quite enj

The Edge of the Divine by Sandi Patty

I had my first experience with Sandi Patty when I attended a Women of Faith even a few years ago. The thing I remember most about her was her voice and her blonde hair. I did not know much of her history going into The Edge of the Divine , but after finishing it, I feel compelled to read some of her other books to find out more. Sandi had a lap band surgery about two years ago and in the midst of it, she learned a few things that she graciously shared with her readers. One of the recurring messages in the book is that God likes to make the ordinary extraordinary. God repeatedly uses the mundane to create the divine. Sandi talks about those moments as edges. The Edge of the Divine is not about her weight loss, but about the mind and spirit work that Sandi has been going through in the midst of weight loss. I am struck repeatedly as I think back upon the book of the phrase “I am enough.” She encourages us to believe that not only is God enough for us, but that we are enough fo
