Here I Am

Rock you like a hurricane!

Really, Laney, the Scorpions, on a homeschool blog? What are you thinking?? I will tell you what I am thinking...

My darling husband just called to tell me that he is leaving tomorrow afternoon for Louisiana or Mississippi or Florida, he will know when he gets there, to help those poor souls who lost everything they own to Katrina. He will likely be gone for two weeks and I am filled with mixed emotions. On one hand it is a huge overtime hit, on the other hand, he will be gone for two weeks and I will really miss him.

On the bright side, I can read in bed at night for as long as I can stay awake want, and I don't have to slave over the crock-pot for 20 minutes each morning.

Here is something cool, my good friend, Meg sent me an interesting e-mail this morning. Here it is:

Hey Elaine,
How are ya? I hope you don't mind but the editor of this magazine was asking for articles and I thought of you. I hope you don't mind me recommending you! Take care,
Meg

Dear Glynnis,

I just wanted to drop you a note to recommend a friend of mine. She is SUCH a great writer. She has a weblog and I thought you might be interested in reading some of her entries. She's also a homeschooling Mom of three boys. In my book, being a Proverbs 31 woman isn't about being perfect, its about fighting the good fight, daily. She does that, and with a sense of humor I thought you would appreciate. Thanks for your consideration of Elaine (Laney) G.

Hi Meg,

I did visit your friend's website and she does have a good sense of humor. Because of our small staff, we encourage potential authors to visit our website and review our suggested topic list and writer's guidelines. Here's a link to the information page:http://proverbs31.gospelcom.net/woman.htmYou might want to forward that to Laney.

Blessings, Glynnis

I was blown away by this! First because I am really not a great writer, but I am very funny and humble. (hehehe) What a compliment from Meg!

When I saw that Glynnis from Proverbs 31 ministries had read my blog, I was a little nervous though. After all, I was talking about looking like a crack addict on Thursday and more than a few of you knew that it was heroin, not crack, that you shoot!!! ROFL! In addition to that, I just referenced, what some people would consider, an unGodly band.

I will give it some serious thought and I might submit an article, we'll see how the Spirit leads. Thanks, Meg!

I have got to run, literally, because who knows how long it will be before I can go again.

Oh, I almost forgot! Tammy called today to tell us that the house we wanted to buy in N.C. is back on the market. Hmmmm. I'm not saying anything, just wondering what God has up his omniscient sleeve.
