WOW! For some reason, this past Sunday really helped to refresh and energize me (and Aisling). The sermon was the second of a series entitled, "The Language of Apology". Very personal, very. One thing I learned is that apologies have no "buts".

I have used a lot of "buts" lately. I just need to learn that things will always work out as they are supposed to. Which is why, as I stated initially, I feel refreshed and energized that my family is where they are supposed to be in our faith. We are in a place where there is no resentment, a place where things can start fresh, where we will not be judged. It's also a great place for our boys. We were approached the first week almost immediately about the nursery class available to them. They have attended from the second week there on, without issues about who is teaching, is there or isn't there a class? The services are at 9 and 11am, and the 9am jives perfectly with NAP time. (The boys nap, not mine).

What we have really enjoyed is the music; instrumental but not over-whelming. Watching the boys, especially Connolly, dance in the pews was so cool and emotionally touching!

I just thought I'd let anyone who still reads this blog know, (sorry I post so sporadically), that we are happy and more than accepting of our circumstances! There are also other exciting things that SOME of you know about..........cross your fingers and ya-hoo for Howie!

There will come a time when we connect with new friends and a new small group, and those are precisely the terms that are agreeable to us for truly connecting further and opening up to new brothers and sisters in Christ to help us continue our journey. We certainly hope to continue with the genuine friendships we have established with you already out there. We also hope to re-kindle ones that have been broken when the time is right.

Sincere thanks to those out there who have emailed or called to see how we are doing! We love you........ALL of you!

Above is a picture of our sons new LA-Z-BOYS........they will suffice for now, lol.
