At this stage of my life, I choose to give a lot of my time to my young family. Serving them and pursuing their best interests demands a lot from me and often leaves little time for other independent interests. I did, however, break out the sewing machine and let my creative side stretch a bit over the last few weeks. Making two Easter banners for my church was a very personally fulfilling (and worshipful) project for me.
Interested in some other projects I dream of completing some time?
- running in an official race (not necessarily a full marathon...but I've never actually signed up for and run in any event of any distance)
- directing a 100+ voice choir
- writing an article for a scholarly journal
- sharing a particular jazz band piece in 5/4 time in a worship service
- becoming more proficient in French
- traveling (especially to warm places...for business, pleasure, ministry, etc.)
- ...
While I was working away, finishing up the banners today, Abby and Jadon concentrated on some work with charts. They really got into this activity. Perhaps the sparkly jewels helped!

I LOVE your banners! You are very talented. I also have a sewing machine - which completely intimadates me.
If you don't mind, I'm going to borrow your chart idea. Brilliant!
I recommend the Eugene Half-Marathon. I know a runner who would run it with you. :)
