I can't believe I FORGOT to post about this!

Too bad SF Giants beat the Phillies but just knowing the Rangers are going to the World Series makes me happy.  That's it.  Nothing else earth shattering that I am thinking about. 

Wait!  That's not true.  I am thinking about bed bugs and the fact that they are in lots of places in NY city.  Eeewww.  Philadelphia has them, too.  I am not leaving Womelsdorf.  We don't have a hotel, motel or movie theatre.  I feel safe...

Trounced them!!

I went to bed very early last night so I didn't hear anything about the Yankees/Rangers game until this morning on my way into work.  I nearly wrecked the car!! Doing the dance of joy here!

(Sorry, Chad & Brian - your mama loves you but you KNOW how she feels about the Yankees!!)

At the risk of annoying my sons

Go Texas Rangers! Put on your big boy underwear and beat those darned Yankees!!  (And, yes, this probably has more to do with Alex Rodriguez than anything else.  I just can't forgive him for lying to Mariner's fans.)

It's midnight and

there is one of these in my bedroom















Can you say "eeewwwuuu"?  I loathe stink bugs.  Ugly, prehistoric, creepy little bugs.

Think I will get much sleep tonight?

Apologize

for making BP pay for their stinking oil spill?  Is it any surprise that the Republican congressman that apologized for the Obama administration's insistance that British Petroleum set aside funds to pay for damages is a ranking member of the Energy committee and represents Texas?

Suppose any Big Oil money has been in his pockets?  I'm just saying...

Oil fiasco

Folks getting all worked up with President Obama regarding the oil spill?  Exactly what would they like him to do?  Pitch a fit?  Please explain to me how that will solve the problem.

Notice Dick Cheney is keeping quiet on the subject?  One word - Halliburton.

Sisterhood

I had an incredible experience last weekend with 3 women whom I have known for years. We were all members of the same parish in Virginia. At present time, one is the wife of a bishop, one is an Episcopal priest and one is the daughter of an Episcopal priest. We gathered at my house for a weekend "Spring Fling" since I am located in the middle geographically.


On Saturday night and over many glasses of wine, my love life (or lack thereof) became the topic of discussion. I knew they were curious but at the same time I also knew these women were asking questions because they are concerned about me. The discussion went from here to the moon and back. Somewhere in the midst of questions and sharing, there was a realization that we were sharing "God moments" and they were ministering to me.

The bond of sisterhood and a common belief system were so incredibly powerful. I felt as though the cloud had lifted and the light was shining on me. We all knew we were experiencing power beyond ourselves, beyond our collective selves. Truly, for the first time in a really long time, I feel like I have a plan and a direction. They assured me of my worth as a woman, as a friend and as a child of God.

I am so thankful that these women remain in my life after years of separation, many miles and life changes.  Again, I am reminded of God's grace.
