It is May 29 (already!) and the summer hasn’t officially begun, but that does not prevent it from filling up quickly!
There are so many options, so many ways to spend my time. What is best? I don’t know! The summer seemed so long …….. back in March. Now I can see the end of it, and it is jam packed.
July is full, and perhaps part of August.
Should I spring for 4 more units and commit all my weeknights, from now to June 22?
When will I fit in ………..?
*sigh*
It makes my head spin!

1 Praise the LORD.
Praise, O servants of the LORD,
praise the name of the LORD.
2 Let the name of the LORD be praised,
both now and forevermore.
3 From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,
the name of the LORD is to be praised.
4 The LORD is exalted over all the nations,
his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like the LORD our God,
the One who sits enthroned on high,
6 who stoops down to look
on the heavens and the earth?
7 He raises the poor from the dust
and lifts the needy from the ash heap;
8 he seats them with princes,
with the princes of their people.

Dinner at Luna’s
Her name is …………. Clara? Nephertiti? Dustie? Kitty?
Anna hasn’t decided on a name yet!
Just a few more hours ………. and two more finals.
After that …….. finis – for this semester. :-)
How I am looking forward to tomorrow! No more (forced) studying, no more (forced) early mornings, no more bus rides (!), no more depressing evenings with the math professor (she is retiring), no more, no more.
I love the feeling of the last day of school (disregarding the mild stress of finals)!!!!!!! It is a bit similar to going barefoot for the first time in the spring …………. (happy sigh).
full moon over the fields (april 30, 2007)
Sometimes the night was beautiful
Sometimes the sky was so far away
Sometimes it seemed to stoop so close
You could touch it but your heart would break
Sometimes the morning came too soon
Sometimes the day could be so hot
There was so much work left to do
But so much You’d already done
Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
I will seek You in the morning
And I will learn to walk in Your ways
And step by step You’ll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days
Sometimes I think of Abraham
How one star he saw had been lit for me
He was a stranger in this land
And I am that, no less than he
And on this road to righteousness
Sometimes the climb can be so steep
I may falter in my steps
But never beyond Your reach
And I will follow You all of my days
And I will follow You all of my days
And step by step You’ll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days
And I will follow You all of my days
