Upended...
So much that God is revealing to me these days comes from the dark side of my heart. I am not overwhelmed with condemnation or even a conflicted soul. In His unending Kindness, He is simply letting me know that MY time, MY energy, My thoughts, were not all about Him and His business. I LIKED my life. Oohh bad thing to say out loud. And; I had. Ha. You know, I still like my life, but my time, energies, and thoughts have been redirected by His Hand in my life. For His Glory and my good. I guess He got my attention. It is my prayer that I allow Him to keep it.

And I write comments about how much I like my sandwich.
Well, I finished my adoption classes tonight. Quite the finale... three of us families decided to switch agencies. (I can only imagine what you are going to say Rob...)
We are switching to the Westmoreland County Children's Bureau (aka Westmoreland County CYS.)
I believe that Catholic Charities slightly misrepresented themselves. I can get my home study through them but really don't have as good of odds actually getting kids placed with me because that isn’t really their specialty. They specialize in families that need home studies and families that want to do private infant adoptions. That is not me…
Two families were there tonight that are from Westmoreland CYS and they were really singing their agency’s praises. They also reported that they both had kids placed with them (that they are able to adopt) within a few weeks. One family tonight was possibly matched with three kids that have had parental rights terminated and could get them very soon. There were a lot of questions and answers and I liked what they had to say. I could still adopt from out of the area, but this is the direction I think I should go. My mom has sat through all the classes with me from start to finish and she came to the same conclusion.
I am calling the Westmoreland CYS in the morning to see what all I need to do. They sometimes still subcontract out their home studies, so I could still go through Catholic Charities for my home study possibly.
Thank you both for writing. It is nice after a long day to just have a little glimpse into someone else's life and hear how they are doing... even if it is just about sandwiches and diapers...

But it was a really great sandwich...
Oh, and THIS should cheer you up!
Please don't ask me how I find this stuff.
Uh... yeah... didn't need to see that...
I haven't liked clowns since my parents took me to see Poltergeist at a young age because a guy at work told my dad that it was just like E.T... hummm... little different.
VICKI, it's to benefit MS! How can you be so cold hearted and closed minded?
MAN!
Off to visit my dad for his birthday today. It is a bit of a drive. Up near Franklin, isn't that one of Rob's many stomping grounds?
And Rob,the whole sandwich thing is ENJOYING one of God's gifts in your life. You have not made the sandwich your life.
Vic, Follow what God is speaking and He will lead you where you are supposed to be. Love to all,
Babies come back tonight, so I slept until after 8 and laid around in bed until ninish.

Working from home, today. A TON of phone calls to make and some policies to work on. I'm trying to get an ad put together (and paid for!) in the next 48 hours to run in the November issue of Pittsburgh Parent. I'm getting sucked into a swirling informal investigation that, no matter the outcome, will crush my relationship with the site. Weird games, and now I'm in them more than usual.
On the plus-side, I bought my airline ticket home for Thanksgiving, and am working through several projects that are actually going well.
Fun times, all-around. I'm in Harrisburg and Chambersburg a couple days this week, and I'm gone for six days in the middle of the month. Otherwise, however, either working from home (about 2/3) and day trips.
My care group book, The Heart of the Cross, continues to be great... what's everyone else reading/doing for/in care group?
What's everyone else up to, in general?
