Misc Thoughts on a Friday

I am too cheap to buy CDs. I buy single songs in MP3 from Amazon instead. Here is what I bought this week:



Vigilantes of Love:

Skin

Struggleville

Earth Has No Sorrow

Who Knows When the Sunrise Will Be

Weight of Glory (just for the title!)



16 Horsepower:

Scrawled in Sap



Patty Griffin:

Heavenly Day

Mary



Dave Matthews Band:

Space Between

American Baby


Rich Mullins:
These Days
Elijah



All of which cost me less than a CD and loads right onto my music player.

Clearing out the basement is exhausting but very amusing. Finding things I forgot I had, finding things I wish I didn't have. I am pushing it a little bit physically, though. I have to rest a lot.

We are going to the circus soon. All of us, Lee, the kids, and Nan. It will be the Friday night after Easter.

Easter being a pretty big deal in and of itself this year. For anyone that cares (one way or the other) the night before Easter will be when I am joining the church, at the Easter Vigil Mass. I watched the Mass last year, and it is an amazing service. Truly breathtaking, even, I think, if you're not into that kind of thing. The scripture readings are an overview of all of salvation history, starting in Genesis and going through the resurrection and the redemption of mankind. (I think we're all into that kind of thing!) A good portion of the mass is by candlelight, too, which is even cooler.

If anyone was wanting to have any friendly, casual dialogue about this whole thing *cough*Daddy*cough* before that time, I might casually mention that the time is running out!

Please continue to pray for us as we look for the right housing situation before the baby comes. And pray that I don't wear myself out.

Incidentally, my belly is soooo big. I have shiny new stretchmarks now, isn't that exciting?? lol :)

Rachel, when I went to Adoration today I prayed for you--the housing situation and coming into the church. I'll keep praying.

So many changes! What an exciting time! Since the children and I converted a decade ago, we've ALWAYS attended the Easter Vigil. Such a special night!

I had no idea....you lost so much weight in the first trimester, I didn't realize this baby was so much bigger. You look so tiny.

You and your family are in my prayers.
