Strange Coincidence

Looking through a pile of paperwork I noticed something I had not seen before...

The twins bio mother's middle name is the same as mine.

Their bio father's middle name is the same as my husband's and it's the same as the one we chose for Buster.

We aren't changing Buster's given name. And just so you know, his name is not Buster - nor is it even close :-) We are only adding a middle name and our last name.  Missy's given name is dropping three letters so that we don't confuse her with another daughter and we are adding the middle name Hope to match the other girls middle names; Joy, Grace, and Faith.

Our second eldest child is SICK with a fever.

I spent the afternoon washing windows at the church. The church open-house is Sunday afternoon and we aren't ready. There are major changes happening every time I step foot in the place, but there is so much to do. We've had several major set-backs in the construction process. Maybe we should have burned the old place down before we tried to expand and remodel.... but the finish line is within sight. Should the old world last long enough, we definitely have a wonderful, very functional place to invite people to worship with us. A friend and I knelt on the new carpet and prayed together for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the latter rain. It's only a building after all. We need the filling of the Holy Ghost, love and unity and a spirit of service in the people who attend for the place to be anything other than just another church building on the street.

We have a brand new church and homeschool library. It's just perfect and decorated just so.The room is sunny and bright.

What used to be the old library and Young Adult classroom has been completely redone and dubbed the Chapel.  Our Spanish speaking friends are moving in and starting a new Spanish church. It's pretty exciting!! Steve has been studying the Bible with some people that may be interested in attending.

Cindy and Natalie have absolutely transformed the youth Sabbath school classroom.  It's fabulous with an African theme . . . . . . and totally highlighting the fact that the junior room is stark and bare. We were just assigned a brand-spanking new room on the third floor for the junior class and the part of my brain that is suppose to come up with decorating ideas is on the fritz.  Totally on the fritz.        *Sigh*
