Reindeer
Today, as part of a city-wide Christmas celebration, there were reindeers in my town! Today was the first day I've ever
seen a reindeer. They are adorable!

How I Want to Spend My Summer Vacation
Here are five ways I want to spend my summer vacation:
1) Decluttering - I want to cut the number of my possessions by a third - even better would be by a half.
2) Visiting Friends and Family - I want to visit some friends and family in IL and some neighboring states.
3) Create - I am working on a crocheted prayer shawl. I would also like to make some more crocheted projects and do some scrapbooking.
4) Quiet Time - I'd like to spend a couple of days on a personal retreat.
5) Exercise - I want to do some walking with my sister.

My Life Verse
Luke 10:42 "but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."
I chose this as my life verse because I want my life to be about slowing down enough to hear Jesus's whispers.

Finding a Life Verse
I am working on finding a life verse. I am going to use this space to keep verses that are special to me. Later I can narrow it down to the verse that I want to be my life verse.
"There is really only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it--and I won't take it away from her." (Luke 10:42)

My Simplicity Challenge
I have been trying to simplify my life for several years now. I have kind of been spinning my wheels. I want to blog about it and set goals, hoping that it will help me make progress.
I've seen one website called the 100 things challenge, in which you work toward eliminating everything from your life except for 100 items. I don't think I am prepared for that challenge, but I want to use it as inspiration. I need to set my own goal. I am working it out in my mind.
Here are some websites I am following to give me inspiration:

I am going to have company, this weekend, from Missouri! My friends from college are coming up for our college homecoming reunion! That's always a fun time.

Neighborhood Group Gathering
Tonight, I went to my neighborhood group gathering that is sponsored by my church. I've been going to it for 2 years. We meet once a month for a Sunday evening meal. That is our hub meeting. We have other smaller meetings for various purposes - service and ministry, bible study, recreation, etc. Our group has gone from about 18 to around 50 members in two years.
Tonight was fun. Tonight's host lives a block from me so I walked to the meeting. We had a "pilgrim dinner" with turkey, dressing, and lots of dishes to pass.
Soon, a new bible study will be started from this group. I want to attend that.
