Today I was completely planning on posting a follow up to
Monday’s Margin in the Rat Race of Life, but since I am frantically packing for a conference that I am going to (yes, I am now an official blogger when the thought of leaving for four days without a computer is mortifying…I am bringing my hubby’s:),
still have to finish the talk I am giving (shhhh, don’t tell them….Procrastinators Unite…tomorrow),
still need to make meals for the kids (oh, forget them…I’ve trained them, they can cook),
still need to buy a strapless bra for the awesome dress I bought (can you guess from where…with the tags still on),
still haven’t gotten out a suitcase yet….
Ok, enough already, you get the picture.
I am sure you’re asking what I am doing in front of the computer.
Good question – pull away, Jen. Come on, you can do it. Remember balance is good!!
But I wouldn’t feel right with out leaving you a point to ponder.
(You may be wondering where my beauty and bedlam moment is today….trust me….it was good, and includes my sis-in-love…mom who has born ten…yes, all hers… is that bedlam enough for you? That moment will be shared:)

Here’s the deep moment to ponder. Since we now are all rethinking our fall schedules, adding a little margin to our life, and hopefully “cleaning house” with some of those unrealistic expectations that we put on ourselves. I want to encourage you that when we really realign our priorities, there is a total light at the end of the tunnel….just ask him. He’s cleaned out, and he’s free… yes, free indeed.
Ok, I have just been informed that some people can’t see the picture. Then the post makes no sense….bummer. It’s a funny one!
Next post…straight from Dallas! (If you don’t know, I live in NC, so this is a big deal for my first time “cross country blogging.”
Have fun!
Have a wonderful trip! :o) Is this home school related? It is funny how many things we have in common! I’m loving it! :o)

Have a great trip! Where do you live in NC? I am in Raleigh. 🙂
I enjoyed checking out your blog today.
I read about your love for Christian music…Did you watch Third Day last night on Jay Leno?
They were the best thing on his show! (the rest was horrible!)
Hope your trip to my state is so wonderful!
Be Inspired,
Vern
Have a safe trip! Make sure to eat lots of yummy bbq food!
Have a great time on your trip. Dallas is great. I know what you mean about the blogging addiction. I was away at a work event the other week and missed it so much- and it was like 2 DAYS!!!
Hey Jen,
I can see the picture now! Too funny!! :o) What a blessing to have a new dress with tags still on it!!
Sincerely ~ Tricia Anne
Oh Yes the picture definitely adds SO much to this post. Thanks for letting me know it was up…I am all about laughing! This is too funny.
Have a great day!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. You have a such an adorable family! Good luck at your conference 🙂
Too funny!
Enjoy your conference. Hope you can sneek in a little blogging while you’re away.
Love the picture. Completes the post nicely, I think.
Enjoy your trip and travel safe. Looking forward to your blog-across-the-country tour. 🙂

Good luck and have fun! “Traveling” bloggers always fascinate me… such devotion! 🙂
Your "margin" posts are encouraging. Our summer is quickly coming to an end and so will be my sleeping in days. Everyday is exchanged for something and I'm working hard to be sure we're ending up with the RIGHT & REAL things!
Have fun on your trip. Looking forward to your long-distant posts!
Have a safe trip! I love this photo!
come home, come home!! i miss your posts!
the flash light concept makes me realize that the Father can see right thru us….sin and all! Ponder, is the correct word.
