Today was 8th Grade Day

It was not 2nd grade breakfast day.

And at 8th grade day, I got to go see a movie.

And while standing in the quiet 10:30am movie theater foyer talking with another mom and waiting for some 8th grader to buy something unnecessary, I heard this comment from a lone young man- who was not with our group and definately not an 8th grader.

"Woo Hoo, I'm not alone today."

And I thought,
"I am glad it is 8th grade day and my life is my life and that I don't normally go see movies in the morning and that I won't miss the 2nd grade breakfast because I mixed my days up and that I have friends to stand around and talk to while waiting for some 8th grader to buy something unnecessary and most importantly - I'm glad we brought that young man some joy."

Before we get into this, I want you to know something about little mr. j.  He is a go getter.  He makes things happen.

(Side note:  The clippers I bought this time have the coolest eyebrow attachment.  We're keeping very good care of my mr.'s old man bushy brows.)
It's a very fun time.  Lots of interesting conversation. And it all takes place in my bathroom. 
My bathroom, where earlier in the day a tweener son decided to go through some drawers that belong to me.  His mother. Who is female.
This is how the conversation went: my mr., "little mr. b, why don't you ask your mom what those things you found in her drawer are for?"
little mr. b (with- I can't believe you said that dad- eyes), "mom, …

Little Answer to Prayer

It's been a very long time since I've written anything on here. I've been feeling the call to come back. I feel more in control of my time and life and I'm remembering how much joy this tiny domain had brought me. Last night, I thought I'd be losing it. After a few hours of trying to figure out how to pay for and renew becomingversed.com, I just couldn't get it done. I asked for help from my famiy. I asked other friends if they knew anything about Blogger and Google and GSuites. No luck. So, last night I said a little prayer and asked Him for help. Just a little one. I said, "I know it's probably silly, but I think you want me to come back to this and continue my little work. If that's what you want, please help me find a way to get this thing renewed and back on track."

Tonight I got inspiration. I was able to see what I was doing wrong, and fix it. Becomingversed.com is back up. I need to get back up. This little experience felt like a littl…
