Over the weekend I pondered what the past year has been like as far as the spiritual and nonspiritual growth in my life. Also, I have had many opportunities I would otherwise not have.

Next Saturday I will participate in my first 5K Walk/Run. It is called Run for Their Lives. It is a benefit for a couple different local ministries. I thought it would be fun to say I “have done that.” Actually, since we had been walking 3 1/2 miles each day I know I can walk 3.1 miles. It will be fun plus I get a new t-shirt

I have been on t.v. twice since we have lived here. The first was the Knock-Knock makeover last December. The camera arrived at my door at 4:30 a.m. I went to a local salon, received a free makeover, while being televised throughout the morning newscast.

About a week later the kids and I were on the same station while we were visiting “Santa” at the River Market.

I have served on the Women's Ministry Team at our church and I am now on the planning committee for the FamilyLife Women's Retreat.

I am enjoying myself and am thankful I have been able to do these things.
