Good dinner and wonderful conversation and a fabulous chocolate concoction for dessert!<br /><br />But still no final draft of the sermon. I find I'm distracted by my daughter's latest crisis, and the news that we will need to vacate our seminary housing earlier than expected along with the call committee's blithe information that with vacations and all, they can't meet to decide on a second interview until the <br />31st! Don't they understand that I need a job, my son needs to get enrolled in school and we need to know that we have a place to live before we need to move out!<br /><br />And now I have to preach on trusting God for daily bread!! Boy, do I know how hard it is to have that kind of trust. Maybe I'm preaching to me this week.ramonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01034492637745064803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-89357451490219349252010-07-24T22:37:22.825-04:002010-07-24T22:37:22.825-04:00children's message? anyone?

I did the big move today and will clean and live sparingly. But, what a pain. After modem died, I manged to FORGET that when I unplueed the big tv in the den that the little one would no longer have dish support and now I cannot get teh little one to hook up in the other spot. Something a bout the two not being able to "talk" to each other for it to work.<br />Soooo. I am dead tired with no tv and no net and a sermon to finish.<br />Normally I would have it on for background noise.<br />Anyhow, will print in the AM from church and just make do. Ready to get it over with though, so I can step into somehting new. <br />Got turned down for another job today, but at least they did contact me. I have a number of churches that do not acknowledge my<br />having sent anything at all.This is maddening and frustrating. <br />But, that is for another day.
