I've been busy. BLAH. That is what happens. Real life gets in the way of taking time to write insightful and inspiring post (please, let me dream that those words describe these posts). So, here in lieu of a real post, is an obligatory apology...don't you feel special???
Anyway, we had an exciting Easter weekend with my parents visiting. The kids responded very well to them. Noah pulled my coffee cup off the end table...carpet is now officially ruined. We are probably going to break all our rules and go get a home equity line of credit (that dreaded "c" word) and go into more debt (debt and dumb both start with "d"...coincidence...I think not...but that won't stop us) and replace the carpet with tile.
Other big, new happenings you may want to know about:
1) Erin's dad was diagnosed with lung cancer a couple/three weeks ago. He has had two rounds of chemotherapy. We are praying very, very hard for him right now. I could write a whole post about this topic, but haven't been because I knew it would break my heart and I would have to clean tears off my keyboard. So, in typical Randy-esque fashion, I have ignored the problem so as to not have to deal with my emotions.
2) My mom had to go to the emergency room whilst she was traveling back from home. Everything appears fine, but nobody wants to have to spend a night in the hospital. It is especially worse when you are traveling and you end up stuck in Nashville with no family. She made it home safely though. Praise God.
3) Erin has decided to completely quit at PCA. She will not be teaching or directing spiritual life next year. God has blessed us to allow me to have a good job with good pay...so she gets to stay home and raise our family. This has been a tough, tough decision for her...but it is the right one.
Anyway, with all that going on...overburdened at work (doing my regular programming job plus being the interim director, plus managing the biggest project of the department), I've been a bit busy...so...sorry...please forgive me, my faithful and loyal readers...if you are still here.
OH....and because it is CONFINSCATE YOUR MONEY AND GIVE IT TO OTHER PEOPLE WE LIKE MORE THAN YOU DAY (i.e., TAX Day)... Remember to support the FairTax and make April 15 (or in this case, April 17th) just like any other Spring Day. I ran across a link the other day that showed how much of the Federal Budget is actually welfare (both corporate and personal) and how much of the budget is for operational purposes...I wish I could find it again and post it here because it was outrageous how much of our tax money gets funneled through Washington right back to other private citizens.
