If at first you don't succeed, find out if the loser gets anything. -- Bill Lyon
I thought that was a hoot!
And then I got a "word of the day e-mail" (one of many):
Mizzle (MI-zl), v.
To mist or rain in very fine drops.
. . .And what's wrong with saying "drizzle?" We need more than one word? Oy -- no wonder English is so hard for ferinners to larn!
I'm in a great mood! Tim and I went to the Irresistible Differences conference over the weekend. It wasn't the best one ever -- there really wasn't anything BRAND new. However, as we have just been through several grueling months in our marriage and have been working very hard to keep it in tact. . . well, it was perfect timing on God's part.
We are very much devotees of the FamilyLife model for marriage and have used our workbooks from past Weekend to Remember conferences as outlines for our Christian Marriage talk for Chrysalis weekends.
We keep going back because repetition has become a key tool for us in marriage relationship. It doesn't hurt to hear things over and over -- maybe you'll internalize it!
The other materials from FamilyLife are great too -- particularly anything by Dennis and Barbara Rainey! We've decided to start a Homebuilders group in our home -- probably just every OTHER week to start out. I'm very excited about this. I hope it is the beginning of a ministry we want to enlarge with FamilyLife. We're not ready to move to Little Rock yet . . . . mainly because of the kids. . . but, we're hoping God calls us to work with them as a vocation.
