And I was able to log in, thank goodness. I miss my little blog. It's been such a long time since I wrote. Stupid Google doesn't even list me anymore. You gotta be some fancy-dan influencer to get on the first page now, and making money off of views. Anonymity is all gone. The joy of just surfing and reading about other people's everyday lives is over.

Oh how time flies. What a worn out old adage, but truer than true.
The highlights and lowlights of this year are... My husband surprised me with an awesome boom box for my car so now I can feel my music.
I'm still learning to play the guitar which I bought in August 2016, and I can play a chord melody of "Silent Night" although I'm not fast enough for anyone to sing Lilianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14277404229549584813noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104487.post-4053091789878716102016-08-14T21:27:00.002-06:002018-01-06T13:10:34.591-07:00Our new hire is awesome. She's fast. She's efficient. She's helpful. She's nice. And I like being around her. She always calls our boss "sir." I think he likes it. It's just another nice thing about her. We did get our across-the-board raise. We were all happy. My raise was the smallest though, so I was little disappointed. Still, Lilianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14277404229549584813noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104487.post-31635939307411400012016-02-06T21:47:00.000-07:002016-02-06T22:19:54.699-07:00Monday our new hire starts work. Her name is Carolyn and I'm looking forward to working with her. She's has experience as a Certified Nurse Assistant and has worked in a warehouse which is a perfect combination.
I finished filling out my yearly job evaluation and am waiting for my boss to give me his eval. I got a real good one last year. I hope he still likes my work.&Lilianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14277404229549584813noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104487.post-5126613293765452592016-01-17T10:26:00.000-07:002018-01-06T13:38:22.592-07:00I got an A in my class! I was happy and pleased. Now I am thinking of how I might earn more money to save up and take another class in August. I need a third stream of income. I have seven months to save $1000. The money I have saved now I want to use for a car. A Toyota Corolla is what I want. Everyone says "blah!" But I like Toyota.

I got a B on my midterm. And I have so much reading to do to write a book report and then prepare for the final. I have absolutely no time to blog let alone change my background image. I just spent two hours on looking at backgrounds. I don't wanna study right now though. Waaaah!
My new, cool background is salt.

I was thinking so hard and now here I am. I could start on my paper if I could just think of what to write about.
My class is great. I'm loving it. Today I got my book by D.A. Carson called For the Love of God. It's a devotional to guide you through reading the whole BibleLilianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14277404229549584813noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104487.post-76334268678448898122015-07-25T12:24:00.000-06:002018-01-06T13:47:24.721-07:00They let me in! Yay! SWBTS accepted my application into their Master of Theological Studies program. It's perfect for me because I will be taking all the classes a pastor would take except for the actual pastoral classes. In other words, it's a degree for the layperson. I'm not qualified to be a church leader nor do I have the desire to lead. But I do love to learn.&Lilianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14277404229549584813noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104487.post-41815947181067800302015-07-01T21:46:00.001-06:002015-07-25T12:30:04.025-06:00Big week. I have my new iPhone 6 and husband bought me a beautiful camouflauge Otterbox for it. He got me the one I wanted. He drove all the way to Cruces and surprised me with it.
SWBTS (Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary) finally received my transcript. Today. Now I wait ten days to find out if I'm accepted or not. Awesomeness.
Last night I went to Lilianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14277404229549584813noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104487.post-41680786610285124502015-06-27T21:46:00.000-06:002018-01-06T13:52:30.714-07:00My transcript still isn't in. I called Cal Poly last Tuesday and they'll send it out again. Guess I'll wait a few more days then, heck, request it and pay again. What's wrong anyways? I confirmed that I have the right mailing address. If I have to order again I'm putting a name on it so it'll go to an actual person at the Office of Admissions.

Cal Poly cashed my check for my transcript request in April but no transcript arrived. I called last week and they've mailed another one so I hope this one makes it through.
My daughter-in-law said if I get a phone that receives photos she'll send me pictures. So now I super want a better phone.

Dreaming of being a seminary student. Wondering why Cal Poly hasn't sent my transcript to Southwestern yet. They cashed my check in April.
On Saturday I went and practiced singing with the choir director and pastor's wife who plays the organ. I loved it. However, the choir director gave me a microphone for the last song.

Whew. It's about time. I reread what I wrote a month ago for "My Specific Call to Ministry" and it sounds good still. That one flowed out of me easily apparently.
Our youngest is 18 now. Graduation was yesterday. He missed the practice walk-through so he wasn't part of the graduation ceremony.

We're soon going to be a quarter through the entire year. Unbelievable.
My dad is in the hospital. He couldn't breathe very well so he went to emergency yesterday. They expect him to be released tomorrow. He's had some bronchitis since December and they say now COPD. No results from the x-rays or tests, so nothing is conclusive yet.

I still have a residual cough.
Bible study went really well Friday evening. It lifted my spirit so much. If it goes well it means the Spirit led. If it goes poorly, I wasn't led by anything but the flesh. To receive affirmation from members of our group gives me the greatest joy of all.

Have a head ache, low grade fever, slight cough, sore throat. Bummer.
Son sold one of his trucks for 4k and he's floating. Husband went with him to Pecos, Texas, to sell it to a veterinarian. And the guy went to college with the teacher from son's school that took his graduation portrait. She's talented.

I didn't use my last paid class and I probably never will. It became clear to my mind to let go of the whole Holy Yoga thang. I don't even miss it.
For two months my knees became increasingly stiff. It was affecting my walking and hurt, dang, it hurt. Oddly, I was still able to do Zumba but not bend my knees, which, there is not much knee-bendingLilianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14277404229549584813noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104487.post-36845591982768613872014-11-07T22:42:00.003-07:002018-01-06T15:00:21.896-07:00I'm looking forward to church!
And it's Friday. Yay! We may go to Cruces tomorrow. I haven't decided.
I sent my sister on a recon mission. That's how she put it. Haha! She's doing an exceedingly good job. Such a good job, in fact, that I realize the yoga classes I'm attending in Cruces are a dud.

I will write the check today because I forget to write a check and my husband told me to stop giving cash. I used to put my cash in the basket and my husband would say why don't you have any money? And, well, I had no defense.
I will take half the money from my Zumba money and half from my paycheck.

Some thunder. And now lightning. I love thunder and lightning.
I sat and talked with my pastor for a few minutes after church this morning and he was really talkative and he answered my two questions about prayer. I think he may have enjoyed talking with me a bit too. I hope so.

Some introduction, eh! Apparently Damson Dene Hotel in the U.K. has taken the Gideon's Bibles out of the rooms and replaced it with "Shades of Grey," a book described as "mommy porn." Tsk, tsk. I hope they don't have young children there. That's not a good book for your 8-year-old to pick up.

Who can guess where I found this? Hint: It's the introduction from the...?
The Bible contains the mind of God, the state of man, the
way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers.
Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are
true, and its decisions are immutable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be
holy.
