this is random...


The pansies in my last post are at the office where I work. Doc has landscapers that keep things looking nice year round. Pansies thrive here in the winter since we have such mild weather. I love their rich colors.

Hubby got two of the things we bought at Ikea assembled Sat. So, now I have cabinets in my new laundry room! Woohoo!

I made two more burp cloths for a baby shower gift. I planned to make another nursing cover up, but my sewing machine started acting up. It wouldn't stay threaded, the bobbin kept bouncing up, the...   Well, anyway, I got so frustrated, I just had to leave it alone. Have you ever been tempted to throw yours out the door?? So, I went to Wal Mart and bought one... a cover up, I mean. Later, when I had cooled off, I replaced the needle, re-threaded it, re-loaded the bobbin...and wonder of wonders, it started sewing beautifully!  Go figure!

I've been trying to decide what to do with some of the pieces of furniture we had before our remodel. We gave the piano to our daughter, gonna sell our old dining room table and chairs, and have decided to re-purpose some of the other things. If they turn out, I'll share the process. Of not, you'll probably never see them...ha!ha!

Today, our pastor was talking about the the consistency of the bible....the fact that it never contradicts itself. He said if we ever find a verse that seems to to that, that means we just need to study harder, dig deeper and discover what it is really saying. I thought that was a good word.

Around here, we have an expression "he or she talks out of both sides of his or her mouth". In other words, they talk one way but act another. They are a walking, talking contradiction! I hope and pray that I will never be guilty of that. I want to be trustworthy and consistent. God expects no less.

Hope your Monday is a happy beginning to a blessed week!

  2. I love pansies ... they are so bright and colorful and will survive longer than any other flowers here in Illinois.

    I pray, too, that I will be consistent in word and in deed.
