Okay! As I've been praying about this blogging thing I've decided that my main goal is to share the dailies of my life in a  fun and happy way.  In an effort to show that life (as a christian) can be FUN  [why is it that as Christians we so often think we have to be gloomy?  What a terrible 'testimony' of our faith] and we can laugh along the way in spite of our challenges, infirmities or just our own 'sorry selves' ( often I am my own worst enemy!)  I am going to share very randomly.  I don't have anything out of the ordinary going on in my life that would necessarily be my 'claim to fame' (not having 8 babies at once ( thaaaat one would really be hard to explain to my family since I am single!) or swimming the English Channel without arms and legs (oh my!)  but I DO have a lot going on!  When I blog ( I think this is the correct term (as opposed to write!) (help me out here young people) I want to 'blog' like I think.  I believe this could be somewhat challenging (writing like I think) but it's the style God is leading me to choose and I think it will make for a FUN and easy read!  I know my 'style' will continue to develop as I move along in this great adventure.  Don't you just find it amaaaazing that I can be typing in the privacy of my home at 4 in the morning and the entire WORLD can be privy of my life at the touch of a button?  And WHAT a LIFE!  So... I am starting to get reeeeeally sleepy. Winding this entry up would probably be a good thing since my alarm will STILL go off in a few hours!  My deepest thought for this posting ( aren't you soooo proud of me using my newly acquired on-line lingo?: posting, entry, blogging etc.) ( I know I am!) (sort of makes me feel PROUD) ( but not the bad kind of proud talked about in the bible!) So, back to my deepest thought... can I eeeeven tell you how niiiice it is to walk into my bathrooms with bare feet and not leave the bathrooms with DIRTY feet?!!  My house had been 'under construction' for almost a year.  I jack hammered up my ancient tile floors months ago ( amazon women!) ( this makes for a good story-the jack hammer was soooo heavy Greg had to carry it in there (the bathrooms) for me but when I turned it on I was able to hang on for dear life and guide it through its journey! (or did IT guide me ha! ha!) and I have been walking on dirt ever since!  Hmmmm.... usually one enters the bathroom and comes out cleaner - not so much here!   Anyway the tile man (or should I say slate man) 'floated out' my floors in preparation for laying the slate in a few weeks so NOW I actually HAVE a floor in my bathrooms (altho' concrete!)  and I can enter with bare feet and come out with STILL clean feet!   YAAAY!  Thank You GOD! :)  [I love how Julie (my wonderful older sister) ends all of her correspondence with Julie Joy! Or just Joy! or Joy Julie! I'm going to come up with some cute and catchy like that too ~ just give me time! ] Well have a great day all!
Onward! Laura
