I told my son-in-law today that I wish I was younger so I can stay in my job longer. I think I’ve been saying this recently.
At the interview for this job 7 years ago, I told the search committee that I don’t see myself working beyond 5 years. I never wanted the pressure of working in ministry. I thought ministry as a job would take all the fun out of ministry.

More 36 questions with hubby:
#13 If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future or anything else, what would you want to know?
Me: I don’t want to know when I die, that would be scary.

Sure – after all, you can’t have a Christian gathering without food. Did you ever wonder how the early church made it without coffee and doughnuts? I’ll tell you: They had something better to provide togetherness – persecution. That’ll weld you together in a hurry.” p31 Teaching to Change Lives, Howard Hendricks.

God gave me the words and wisdom to talk to a disgruntle dad. At the end, he graciously said: I understand now that you explained it.

However, on Friday, another disgruntle dad was not as understanding. I was not the one talking to…

I don’t remember that my husband and I have ever gone to Disneyland just the two of us. We did yesterday, because his office offered free tickets as a reward for a good year.
My husband doesn’t love Disneyland. The times I’ve gone is with my girls. So as I expected, he was ready…
