Coffee, brownies, and The Delgados

mmm...
I was just thinking about how depressing the daily grind can sometimes be. But then I reminded myself that since I'm a Christian, everything I do should be to God's glory. Even if I'm just going to work every day and singing with children. So I made some brownies and a cup of decaf and decided to "unstress" about it. I got to digging around in my music folder and found some anime soundtrack tunes that I hadn't listed to in a while, and they're quite good. Through anime I have discovered the music of The Delgados. Nicely done. Thank you, Glasgow.

Anyway, feeling better now about living my own little daily grind. Amazing what music can do for you. That and a good cup of coffee. As we used to say at St. John's, "thank you, Jesus!"

Y'all need to check out my friend Bonnie's blog. She is a wonderful young woman - quite inspiring. She will welcome her second child on Monday, but sadly, her husband will be watching the birth from Heaven. He went to claim his mansion, robe, and crown in January. Anyway, check her out and send up a couple of prayers. Guess that's all.

More than a year???

I was reminded by a family friend that I needed to update my blog. So this one's for you, Tamara.

Currently I am working at a small private school, doing many different things there. Computer teacher, reading teacher, preschool music teacher, etc. Also the after-school program. I'm taking a couple of night classes this semester and am doing pretty well. Although it's not too complicated to complete a math and a speech course...

Jon and I have been married for four years, and our cat Harley will be four in May. My parents are recently divorced (this August will be one year), and my mom finally got to live her dream of living between her two kids and moved to Texas this past January. Yay!

As for all things inspirational, nothing comes to mind at the moment. Sorry, Tamara! But I did haveone of my pre-kindergarten kids come up to me today and say, "Miss Laura! One, two, three, Hallelujah means praise the Lord! He is good, He is great, He is who we celebrate!" That made me happy. It's one of the songs we've been singing in music class. And I thought it was so cute that she counted herself off! (Because I dont' count - I just let the CD play.)

More to come later. And not in a year.

Adios!
