You know that you are just a couple of hours away, right? I might have to take you up on that "in person" thing one of these days... :D Thanks, Kathy!

That snarl of midnight thoughts sounds so familiar to me. I'm glad it looked more manageable by day. Yikes, sorry about the church situation. I hope it works out.

Part of it is just the busy time of year, and another part is that I am not a naturally organized person, but part of it was that yesterday's issue caught me off guard. It never fails, though, that with the light of day and a change of focus (that "eyes on Jesus" thing), things seem better - or at least more tolerable. :D Milly - Now that I’ve had some sleep, most of these things seem much smaller.

I was a hospitality leader in MOPS, PTA mom with several committees to take care of or help with, cub scout leader and committee leader, plus handled a few events, and a woman in a CofC church that I work at and volunteer at. I do less these days working almost full time at a paying job. I ask a lot of questions in church and have been known to challenge the leaders. Thank God they are cool with it. I am going to hell according to my aunts though. ;-} Holding on to scripture is helpful. I did have to laugh a bit because I’ve said a few through gritted teeth over and over again until I can relax. A few times as I was going through paperwork I said I just want my life back. Things do slow down when you learn the word NO. We can rest when we are old I suppose. ;-} God bless ya Jenn,
