"Not me!"

Have you ever said "not me!" about something! It seems whatever you say this about always happens! My mother grew up a preachers daughter and she always said " I will never marry a preacher". Well she didn't...my dad answered the call to the ministry just shortly after they were married! She would always tell me "don't say you are never going to do something!"

So I "never said never"...out loud anyway! I mean I really felt like after being a preachers daughter, granddaughter, niece, and sister surely I was safe from anymore ministry related vocations! I guess I was wrong because now we are on our way to seminary and this past Sunday, Sid brought the message at church! I laughed Sunday morning and told Sid years ago our last name would have been "Parsons"!

Our preparations are proceeding just enough to let us know just how much work we have ahead of us just to get there! Here are some more prayer request:

-finding good medical insurance
-wisdom in cleaning out and downsizing our home
-to continue to seek God and grow in Him daily
-(this may seem weird but..) pray for the person who needs to buy our house

Thanks again for your support and prayers!

Our entertainment as of late has been studying for Sid's MAT test. We do parts of the practice test in the evenings when it gets quite. They are really interesting questions and they are all analogies!

Here is an example:

Blackstone : (a. medicine,b. politics, c.law, d. teaching):: Roberts : Parliamentary Procedure

answer next time!
