it has been too long since I was here.......

Today I reading my son's blog (Phil Antilla is Thinking) and he reminded me of a summer time fun that i had forgotten.

  Fire Flys!

  They are amazing little flying flashlights. (As he refered to them)  I didn't have them in Idaho when I was growing up on our farm....( we had other fun things to keep us busy) 

but our kids had them growing up in Georgia.  I think they are mostly found from the middle to the South and eastern part of the United States.  I am thankful I have experienced these little flying delights, even some may think they are a bit pesky, they are really amazing.  So if you are reading this, and I am not sure how many actually do, and if you are ever on that part of the USA in the summer...look for them, but have a jar handy, they are pretty fun to catch and watch glow in the dark!

Now.... Back to blogging my thoughts. 

I think I will start blogging more often, but right now it seems difficult to make the time to blog.  

I am starting to read a new book, it is called "The Beautiful Fight" by Gary Thomas. Basically it is about how we need to surrender to the Transforming presence of God Daily in our lives.  So Iam very excited to read this and see what God has for me to learn.  I am also reading Strong Women, Soft Hearts by Paula Rinehart.  It is a amazing book.  Very helpful for me in many areas.   Then I will be starting a book that I have had for a while but haven't taken the time to read is Katie Brazelton's book Called "Pathway to Purpose for Women"

I think reading is important, and it keeps me thinking and wanting to grow and better my self.  I have changes coming up next month.  Changes I knew would be coming for some time but haven't really wanted to think about it.  But Bill and I will be come Empty Nesters.  Not officially we still have two un-married children, but they are both now in college.  So even though we don't have our children living at home 365 days of the year, they are still "at home"

So I will relish in the idea for the time I have left to enjoy their presence in our home!

Well, that is all for now....

Enjoy reading! 

I will try to be back a little sooner next time to share with you some Thoughts from ME!
