Got the pantry done and the fridge! I feel so much better. I just had been needing to do those jobs! Now they are done for now.
We raked leaves and we have a ton on the curb waiting to be recycled by the city. My blower ended up frying for some reason. I ended up getting a small electrical shock and burn! It was pretty painful and it still hurts. It is on my finger. The extension cord looked very strange with black stuff on it. I decided to pitch it and the blower. I usually have my kids using that and I do not want any of them to get hurt.
Dinner was porcupine meatballs. Boy are they good! My daughter made them since I had to run my dd to dance class. They are thrifty and easy to make.
Went to the kids resale shop to turn in some toys...they are so darn cheap now at that resale shop.. I think becasue of all the eBayers......the prices are just pennies on the dollar now. I took the cash. I still felt a bit ripped off. I went to the half price dollar store and found a ballet calendar and two ballet books for a song for my dd for Christmas. She collects dance books. They are very hard to find it seems.
I found a book I was interested in. My friend is giving me some Beverly Lewis books to read. She has the entire collection. They are books on Amish life
I started one but never got thru it. I hope I have better luck this time.
I heard from my friend who lives in Colorado Springs via email. She goes to the church-New Life- where that pastor was found in a bit of sin. She told me the church is just reeling in devastation. She seems good but hurting. I lived thru something like this as well.....in an old church and it is not fun. I felt sorry for his wife in some sad way I could relate to her pain. It has to hurt......
Life is fragile. People are frail.
Jobs can be here and then gone in a blink of an eye. Marriages are solid one second and then crumbling the next.
Stocks are up and then stocks are down.
Life is fleeting and fast at times. People love you and then they hate your guts. People are human and not perfect. Financial plans are flawed and not perfect. We can only do the best we can with what we have. I do not have all the answers as far as money goes but I AM thankful to be part of this group where I can find support and good counsel.
Pantry and Fridge too!

Isn't that sad? My husband and I were just talking about something similar before he left for work this morning. It's sad when you have to say that you really don't trust your pastor.

It is very hard when one apple spoils the whole apple cart so to speak, it makes it tougher to witness. My sister is a Christain...so I feel like I have one family member who understands. I just try to have good fruit in my life as best as I a can.
I know what it feels like to have your family ripped apart. I do think of his wife and pray she finds some help as well to get thru this awful public and private storm.
