worship

my mom forced me to take piano lessons. for the most part i liked them, but in late jr. high couldn't stand them anymore. i wanted to play and sing - not just learn the classic stuff. she agreed to let me quit. i continued, however, to play through out the years. i love it! i love to sit and play and sing to my hearts content. i usually do it when alone, but the kids enjoy it too. unfortunately i had not bought a book since my freshman year of college. even that was only sheet music to the old song "the rose" (which i love to play and sing)

anyways....i have been craving a good worship book. one that i could sit down and play and sing and worship my creator. a few weeks ago i needed to go to the family christian book store looking for curriculum. i decided to just browse their piano music. well...although i should have gone for the more challenging book, they had a medium level worship book that had several songs i love. so i bought it! and i have to say i've so enjoyed plucking away. it is fairly easy, but i've lost the gift of sight reading and need to brush up on my skills. some are coming faster than others, but i love to sit and sing..

ahh...there is something about that time that just soothes my soul. it is me being part of who i am. not afraid of what i sound like to others - just being in His presence while i play.

the hubby is at youth group tonight. the kids were playing so well and finishing homework. i decided to sit down and just play. i played the first couple of songs and came to How Great is our God. i started in and after the first verse noticed i had 2 little bodies standing on either side of me singing along. i loved that moment. i will cherish hearing their sweet voices sing as they bopped beside me.

God loves our worship....He really does!

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

from the kitchen...

chicken bruschetta bake if you know me, you know my great distaste of tomatoes. i usually pick the tomato chunks out of my sgetti sauce. yes i just called it sgetti!! i eat all the chunks of my salsa, except the tomatoes. but over the past few years i've gotten a bit brave and will eat small pieces of tomatoes in fresh salsa and in this dish as well. i hadn't fixed this in probably over a year. but a few weeks ago i pulled out my recipe file to find some old favorites. i found this and realized i had everything in the pantry. that's a deal!!!!! i did have to switch out the diced tomatoes because my can was crushed instead. i prefer the diced but this worked just as well. the kids loved the chicken, but not so much the topping. this was great as leftovers, too. i ate it for lunch the following two days. 1 can. (12.5oz) diced tomatoes, undrained 1 pkg. stove top stuffing mix for chicken (i use aldi brand) 1/2 cup water 2 cloves garlic, minced 1.5 pounds skinless...

life with izzie b

so i'm out of town right now and this time with my friend izzie b (names have been changed to protect the people we know). we are actually at a conference that is rocking my world, but we are two crazy girls alone in a big city. anyways.....she is a weird person. she likes car rides and she likes to watch the sunrise while riding in the car so we started our trip at 5:30 AM!!! 5:30 AM friends...ugh. but we had a non-eventful trip and honestly it wasn't so bad. i'm weird so i had packed us ham and cheese sandwichs. we stopped several times to get out and walk. we stopped for gas somewhere a bit redneck and they sold mostly fireworks. lots and lots of fireworks. that place also had some kind of super duper blue light hand dryer. it was honestly a bit freaky. then we checked in and found we had a smoking room. it was quite smoky and so we asked for a change. no luck, but the nice lady offered to bring up an odor remover machine while we were at the conference. um....
