In the last twelve hours…
In the last twelve hours, I have started five different posts. Two were posts about my early life as a Mormon. They were full of interesting anecdotes, then tapered off to become extremely boring. Baptisms for the dead…Mormon missionaries…blah blah blah…Sigh.
In the last twelve hours, my mother-in-law (whom we haven’t seen since the day of David’s funeral) decided to come down for a visit. She has never driven more then thirty minutes by herself until today. But she just arrived, laden with cookie-making materials. I would estimate she has lost almost forty pounds since February. She’s melted away – her face looks old and sad.
In the last twelve hours, I started planning my upcoming school year. I am vacillating between excitement and frustration as I try to figure out how I am going to teach High School English and History.
In the last twelve hours, I finally had a joyful prayer time. I repented for anger and lack of faith in God yesterday during church. We had communion and I cried.
In the last twelve hours, I went to Earth Fare and spent 322 dollars. Last week in a crazy fit, I threw away everything in my house that wasn’t organic – even things like….salt. So I had to buy spices and vinegar. It felt like a “I just moved into a new house and there is nothing in my house” shopping trip.
In the last twelve hours, I read almost two Christy Miller books. Oh, fun summer reading!
Yay for summer reading! Boo for RA! (which, in my life, normally are Randy Alcorn’s initials not an auto immune disease which stinks.) Boo Hoo…
