Living the Dream, Odds and Ends, and Jon and Kate


I just need to figure out whose dream- lol! I have way too much time on my hands and no real desire to fill it up with anything special. I've invested some thought into thinking about getting my master's degree.... but am not there yet. Too tired of being worn out I think. Not sure what I would do with it- I would love to teach, but am really just not sure.

Steph and I just got back from our annual journey to DC. I would so move there if I didn't have ties to Cincy. I have invested some time into looking at the job market up there- actually it's better than here. I wonder if I can get everyone I love to move with me? Nah, I didn't think so. Still, it's a thought. The attached photo is the fountain at the sculpture garden on the mall. We had a great time- she met a "boy"- who just happens to live in Dayton- how funny is that. He's a really nice guy- got his act together, college educated, successful--the type of guy a mom could see her daughter with.

Ok- I am going to admit I have a Jon and Kate Plus 8 addiction. I really do- it's all Steph's fault. (How's that for not being accountable?) Anyway, I got hooked on the first few episodes, and that was it. So, like 10 million other people I turned into the season premier the other day-- and was appalled at what I saw. I feel so sorry for the family, more so for the kids. They are the innocent ones in that whole mess. One of the things that really bother me about the whole thing is the public's attitude. It's like the world wants that marriage to fail. It's terrible. So- as a person who firmly believes in God's love, forgiveness and redemption- saving grace I am asking anyone that happens to read this blog to pray for the power of God's saving grace to touch and heal this family, and protect them from themselves, the vultures of the world and anyone who wishes them harm. Instead of rooting (sp?) for the demise of their marriage, let's pray for healing and forgiveness, and for God to work in them to make the family stronger.I don't think that's too much to ask. Through God all things are possible.
Blessings,
Teri
