Toppling Mount Washmore-

Mark my words- Mt. Washmore will be obliterated this week. Bags and boxes of hardly worn and too-small-for-the-kids clothes will LEAVE THE HOUSE for good. I am down to the winter clothes that were neglected when the summer clothes came out of hiding. Thus, the mountain base was formed. I have realized that this happens every spring and fall, just when the family laundry is under control, the season changes! Pray for me, that I may stay persistent in tackling this monumental, yet trivial and mundane task. On second thought, I'm sure that you have much more important things to pray for, so just encourage me and ask me how high Mt. Washmore is when you see me next. Thanks!

I just found your blog linked to Nancy Wilson's....wondering why your name was in red (I'm still learning computers!)

I know so well Mt. Washmore! I still struggle with piles of clothes during seasonal changes, as we have to keep those changes in the attic. We have 5 kids and not enough dresser space.

I see that you are a member of Christ Church in Spokane! I am losing one of my best friends to Spokane, and to Christ Church! They are moving way out there from over here in hot, humid, eastern NC. What a change...from 100 degree weather over here to snow in June over there! Incredible. I imagine your snow is not normal any more than our extreme 100's are not the norm...at least in June.

We live in a theological desert in Eastern NC as far being reformed goes. We are happy that our friends will be able to feast at the abundance of your table there in Spokane.

Keep perservering in your climb of Mt. Washmore!

Quotes-

"The gospel of sheer grace enables us keep it simple -- love God and hate sin. Everything other than sheer grace enables us to run away from keeping it simple, and to run away fast." Douglas Wilson
"Home-making--being a full-time wife and mother—is not a destructive drought of usefulness but an overflowing oasis of opportunity; it is not a dreary cell to contain one's talents and skills but a brilliant catalyst to channel creativity and energies into meaningful work; it is not a rope for binding one's productivity in the marketplace, but reins for guiding one's posterity in the home; it is not oppressive restraint of intellectual prowess for the community, but a release of wise instruction to your own household; it is not the bitter assignment of inferiority to your person, but the bright assurance of of the ingenuity of God's plan for the complementarity of the sexes,especially as worked out in God's plan for marriage; it is neither limitation of gifts available nor stinginess in distributing the benefits of those gifts, but rather the multiplication of a mother's legacy to the generations to come and the generous bestowal of all God meant a mother to give to those He entrusted to her care."
Dorothy Patterson
"True contentment is a real, even an active, virtue---not only affirmative but creative. It is the power of getting out of any situation all there is in it." G.K. Chesterton
"I have no faith in that woman who talks of grace and glory abroad, and uses no soap and water at home. Let the buttons be on the shirts, let the children's socks be mended, let the roast mutton be done to a turn, let the house be as neat as a new pin, and the home be as happy as home can be." Charles Spurgeon
"An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is an adventure wrongly considered." G.K. Chesterton
"When we are Christians, to the extent to any degree we are faithful to the gospel, we are bigger than ourselves. And that is why whether they are Arminian, Roman Catholic, or Calvinist, people who are truly serving the Lord are bigger than their own thinking, bigger than their own faith. We transcend ourselves. And that is the glory of the gospel. It enables us to do more than we can do. It is the grace of God working through us. It is not that we teach different gospels; we are trying to teach the same gospel even though at times our emphasis will be a warped one, a limited one, a partial one. All the same, God can use it". R.J. Rushdoony
