A cup o'coffee...mmm....It sure doesn't seem like August today! Our thermometer reads 58 and it's raining. But no matter. This is still a day that our God has made...and I will be glad in it. :)

God gave us a surprise yesterday. Bryan was finishing up a carpet job when the wife asked him if he could use a used jacket? She handed him...a like-new beautiful leather thick coat! Exactly what he was needing - his old one was not fit to be seen. :P Her husband had bought it for work, wasn't using it, and they were going to give it to Goodwill - until she "thought" to ask Bryan. God knew. God loved. God provided.
"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life...what you shall put on. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field...will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?" Matthew 6

Heard a quote recently..."Grace is God giving us what we don't deserve. Mercy is God holding back what we do deserve."

So what have I been up to? (after all, that's what a "blog" is supposed to be about anyways, right? :P)
We're getting ready for fall! :) Still working on last-minute things for Primetime - the new Wed. night program for 3-6th grade Bryan and I will be leading this fall. We're going to be teaching a "Journey Through the Bible". Many of these kids don't come from Christian families so our goal is to get them familiar with God's Word and teach what th eBible is all about - Jesus Christ!
My piano teaching schedule is all made out for this year. Yay! That's always a challenge. I'll be teaching Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I don't think I've been this *not* busy in a long time. Although...I've never had a house to clean, laundry to do, and a husband to look after either. :P
I'm going to be teaching three music classes on Wed. afternoons to a homeschool group at our church in Oakfield...so I have lesson plans in the works.
Organ lessons are still going very well (have one today actually!) and I'm excited about starting piano lessons back up again with Kayleen. With all the playing I've been doing lately...I'm realizing how rusty my fingers are getting. :P

In other news...Bryan was officially accepted into Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary as of Wednesday. His classes start up September 1st!

Time for me to stop writing and get going (pretty sure my hair has dried by now...lol)
Blessings! ~ Lindsay
