Revelations --why women are busy--

The things that we do daily are gone and used. We cook meals, do laundry, clean house and take care of everybody. This doesn't mean we aren't appreciated. We don't feel fruitful. I am so blessed with 2 beautiful children and a wonderful husband-- and I see the love in them. But creating art and preserving memories feels me with a sense of accomplishment. I feel so busy doing the day -- and yes it is by choice. By taking the time tonight to reflect in the company of friends helped me to remember why we want a full life. Thank you God for putting perspective in my eyes.

Whirlwind Tours-- Presbyterian Diaster Relief Fund

Returning from Nashville last night we stopped at our church and had dinner and watched a movie that was made by a group that we send over Christmas to help put roofs on homes in and around New Orleans.

After attending a business seminar it was -- well the other side of the spectrum-- but both were about using your god given talents. This past fall several of us helped organize a chili cook-off and auction with which we raised close to $10,000 to contribute to "The Whirlwind Tour." These funds plus much more given by Presbyterian Churches nationwide-- along with hundreds of hours of unselfishly given hard work have helped put roofs on houses that would have been otherwise been bulldozed-- and gave a new hope for those homeowners.

Thanks to all that took part-- There are more trips being organized -- the work continues. email me if you are interested in helping.
