Identity
The local LCMS pastor’s wife is thinking about homeschooling 5 of her kids next year and I offered to see if I could find her some resources in the community to help her out. I gathered them and I went over there a little while ago to get out of the house for a few minutes.
I rang the doorbell and some of the kids answered. I asked if their mom was home and they ran to go get her. As they ran through the house, I heard them yelling “Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! It’s the pastor’s wife! It’s the pastor’s wife!”
That just so made my day because it was so cute!!!
Blogathon 2005
I’m all signed up! Come support me on August 6th!
Kind of Quiet Days
On Monday, I went to the knitting/crocheting group at church. It was awesomely fun and I’m feeling kind of bad about leaving because I’ll miss these ladies. I spent the rest of the day doing schtuff. I actually walked about 6 miles yesterday — the weather was just so nice. On the second walk, Jon insisted on introducing himself to the “new” LCMS pastor in town. We ended up being invited in and getting to know him, his wife, and their 8(!) kids. Apparently, I have good 2 year-old karma because their 2 year-old just chilled in my arms after throwing a massive tantrum in her father’s lap. It was great talking to his wife — it was interesting to have someone who speaks “my language” as a pastor’s wife.
Today, I got some medical stuff worked out, sorted laundry, did some taebo (for the first time in two months — it felt sooooo good), went for a walk, and helped to test the registration stuff for the Blogathon.
Compared to the last couple weeks, life has been incredibly quiet. It’s almost shocking not to have 1500 things to do.

Cool T-Shirt
Roy, one of my Jon’s more “colorful” parishioners (he’s a child psychiatrist who is a newly-minted Lutheran though stubbornly hanging onto his Methodist roots — I adore him because he’s so interesting and unconventional), had a truly wonderful shirt on when we saw him at lunch today. It read “Heretic in Good Company” and had the names of other famous heretics on it.
Let me just say that I TOTALLY WANT THAT SHIRT!!!!!!!!
