The older I get, the more I realize there are folks who have invested in my life whom I know I could never repay.
When my new best friend, Pan (don't dare call her "Pam") invited me to church where her daddy was the preacher, I went. As far as I remember, the first time I heard him share the Gospel, I committed my life to Christ. It didn't matter that I was only nine and didn't fully understand. I knew I needed forgiveness, and Brother Jackson told me where to find it. |

Last Saturday night just after dark the Sims family was sitting in the den enjoying the fireplace and a little TV when the doorbell rang. The kids ran to answer, but no one was there--only a bucket of Halloween goodies and a note that read "You've just been booed!"
I don't get the warm fuzzies very often, but this made me fuzzy all over. It was a feel good moment for the whole family. "What kind of neighborhood have we moved into that has such fun traditions? |

One of my new friends from the bus stop had to have foot surgery last week. In a lot of pain for a long time, she finally went in for an x-ray and, much to her surprise, discovered her foot was broken. Not only was surgery a must, but the doctor said she cannot walk on it for over a month. On Friday I met her husband, who had baby in tow, at the bus stop. I introduced myself and told him I was bringing dinner over that weekend, and daughter, Emma, would be helping them out, to boot. |

I have never blogged twice in one day, but the Hearts at Home Third Thursday Blog Hop (www.hearts-at-home.org) is calling for fall recipes. After a year without fall, I had to dive in.
Aunt Marsha's Green Beans I know I raved about The Green Beans a few blogs ago, but these come mighty close. My daughter, Bethany, got this recipe from her college room mate who credits her Aunt Marsha.
2 cans green beans (any cut you like) 1/4 tsp salt |

It was three weeks ago today that the Sims family pulled into Virginia. We didn't know a soul the day we arrived, but we've already visited three churches and attended Ben's Varsity football game. Next week we will watch Emma's first cross country meet. And this afternoon 15 year old Mary is making a speech at school to convince the class of 2016 why she should be their Vice-President.
To put it simply, we're divin' in.
Captain Fun and I have lived in five states since the day we said "I do", and I'm convinced that whether you move once or a dozen times, diving in is the only way to survive a move. |
