6 Words and 8 Things

Here are a couple fun things to ponder...

This last weekend I had the pleasure of going to see Beth Moore in Portland with a couple friends. It was so good. Good to get away. Good to be with friends. Good to be challenged and stretched. Good to be quiet in a group of 7300 women. Good to worship with 7300 women. Here's one thing we were challenged to do... we were asked to describe our life in only 6 words. Where you are, where you've been, what you do, whatever. Just 6 words. Mine came pretty easily, but is a bit too personal to share here. So give it a try. Can you sum anything up in 6 words? Some were funny, some were serious, some were heartbreaking, some were hopeful. All over the place.

Here are 2 of my buddies, Molly and Tracie. The little white haired lady just over my shoulder was so sweet to sit by Saturday morning. She was there with her 2 daughters and granddaughters, and we had a couple short but sweet conversations. When we were leaving, she grabbed my arm and said, "Sweetheart, you have a very safe drive home today." It just warmed my heart. The kind of lady that mothers everyone around her.

Onto a totally different topic now:

I saw this on another blog, and thought it was a fun idea! I've not been tagged by anyone, so I'm tagging myself! I love a list!
