Two recent blessings.

These two things have been in the works for a week or so now. I just got final confirmation today.

First, the guys at church have offered to pay for getting my car fixed (brakes). We've been down to one car which means I miss classes and services since we live so far away. We've simply been putting it off due to other priorities. It's been like 3-4 months.

One of the ladies in my Ladies' Class ratted me out :) She told them that benevolence begins at home, and she suggested the church pay to fix my car. One of the guys brought his truck and trailer over and picked it up. That was a 120 mile round trip. I can't believe he did that. He will be taking it to get it fixed and I'll pick later.

Next weekend I get to go to a Women of Faith conference. A group of ladies are going, but one backed out due to having a conflicting engagement. I get to attend in her place. All I have to pay for is my food and souvenir type items. I am excited :) I can't wait to see Pasty Clairmont. Her books make me laugh so much. Anita Renfroe is going to be there too! She is an awesome speaker/comedienne. I am so excited to be traveling with the ladies from church. They are a laugh a minute. It's going to be a blast!!!!!!!

On another note, I haven't been blogging much the past couple of weeks or visting blogs. I've been spending most of my time studying or trying to take care of winter prep. I plan on taking a few moments here and there to catch-up over the next week or so.

Hi Ang, I have no idea how big the Warroad congregation is nowadays. I moved away late '04 and haven't been back to visit unfortunately. We attend church in GF now.

Hi Wendy, thanks. I love Anita and Patsy!!! Thanks.

You are going to have a blast. I have been to a WoF conference and it was inspirational, fullfilling, uplifting and renewing!

Bare pantry

My son cleaned out our pantry (dry goods) about 10 days or so ago. My son, who is 24, works in Retail/Grocery so he's the king of expira...
