Posting

I know I need to be better about posting or I'm going to lose the few readers that I have. But honestly, I've been so busy singing and traveling and getting ready to travel and recovering from travel and taking care of the kids and homeschool and staying up late working on real important things, like paying bills and responding to emails and fixing broken things for gigs and ordering more stuff (O that reminds me, now I need to buy more "Prayers From Heaven" CD's). I don't have time to prepare my menues for the week - I just wing it - or (and I hate to admit it) take a shower. I was supposed to take one today (day 2) but somehow it just slipped away. It is not scheduled for tomorrow, but on Fri. It will mess up my week and weekend to juggle it around. However, I did meet Jesus for one half hour of prayer after lunch today when the baby took a nap and Grace watched Veggietales and Chris was gone and Marie did schoolwork. It was all I could do to keep from falling asleep. It was hard to "snap out of it" when Veggietales was over and I had to get moving again. Hmmm, sometimes I think the time would have been better spent if I had just taken a shower then. We'll, at least I "showed up", like my spiritual director suggested. Besides, it's not for me - but Jesus. I can honestly say to Him, "I'm doing my best and all that I can. You'll have to do the rest."

So now I don't feel neglected (in our friendship) or alone (in my busy-ness). Still, I owe you a tea party at the Georgian... we're going to have to find some time for that -- but showers first! (At the end of the day I judge how it's gone by whether or not I was able to fit in a shower. Wearing lots of perfume over here!)

I've just this moment discovered your amazing voice (on the Catholic web site) sung in Catholic prayer. As I write this, I'm listening to you sing the rosary. I'm overwhelmed by the power and beauty of your voice in combination with those prayers I've prayed for so many years! As long as I have your music with me, I'll never again be without beautiful, beautiful (and happy!) prayer...thank you so much!!!

:) Oh, heavens... don't worry about losing me as a reader! (I check in every week or so, regardless.) As far as I'm concerned, be good to yourself, and go do God's work, and write when you can!
