Six Days A Week

I've been writing six days a week. No less than seven hours a day, depending on the day, usually eight to ten, lately twelve.

Today, I planned on writing, but after getting up early for church, leading worship, going to a lunch to discuss some things with our senior pastor, I was beat! So, I decided to take today off.

Tony and I watched "Knotting Hill." I love that movie. So quirky yet deep in places. You can actually buy this super star American actress falling in love with a quirky English book shop owner.

Brother Joel called. Yay! Loved talking to you, bro!

Pastor Gary brought up a good point in his sermon this morning. Some times God "prunes" us so others can bear fruit. Ouch. Not a refrigerator verse, eh? But, He does. And after our pruning and regrowth, we are stronger and more beautiful than before.

So, guess I can endure the occassional snip, snip.

Am fixing to read a Robin Lee Hatcher book, A Carol for Christmas. I picked it up at the ChiLibris retreat. It looks good.

Have a blessed Sunday, or whatever day it is that you're reading this!

Peace out.

Like Heather, the phrase "Sometimes God prunes us so others can bear fruit" really resounded with me. Very deep. Very true.

I love hearing the tidbits of your life and I also love the little nuggets of wisdom (like this one) that are interspersed throughout.

Glad you took a day off. Notting HIll is one of my favs too. Actually pretty much anything Hugh grant is in--even ABOUT A BOY.

Miss you, Roomie! Let's finish these books and schedule a LONG phone conversation (after 7 pm when I have free minutes :) )

I don't want to talk about pruning, though. OY VEY

Love lots
