What?

For those of you who are curious or do not know how our family is becoming a grouping of 7, Jonesy and I are adopting 2 little boys, brothers aged 4 and 2. We are adopting through the state of Kentucky. We are asking for your prayers for these little boys, our little boys, while we make this transition. They will not be living with us for awhile, but we will be taking the necessary and required steps to bring them into our lives as smoothly and quickly as possible. Please pray for Noah, Macy and Molly as they will be making some adjustments. They are super excited, but they have no memory of adjusting to a sibling, so the normal fears, frustrations and excitements are there for them. And of course, please pray for Nate and I that we will use wisdom, compassion, and mercy in dealing with all five of the children as they will be making the changes. Thanks so much.

Sara

    Not to be repetitive of your title, but WHAT!? This is so awesome! I'm so excited for you and can't wait to meet my new cousins! And I really want to talk to you about the process sometime, cause Jon and I have already decided that if we're able we want to adopt. We'll be praying for you!

    I"m kind of interested in the Jehovah's Witness translation. Why are you selling it? Should I have this as a reference, since I constantly have JWs at my door?

    haha...i think it's hilarious that he's selling 'The Complete Idiots Guide to Organizing your Life' amongst the rest of this clutter! haha

    What made you decide to get rid of all these great books?

    We are going through the Financial Peace University classes, and in order to obtain our financial goals we are selling, selling, selling. We are selling 2 of our bookcases, so we needed to pair down our books a bit ( we have 100s of books!) and so Nate went through and pulled the ones we have multiples, don't plan on reading again or has downloaded. Making room and making some cash basically!

    Looking forward to your thoughts. I'd be honored if you'd look over mine sometime soon also. I have a rough draft of my "speech". Totally nervous about this, but feeling like it's the best thing that's happened to me in a couple of years. Good timing on it, really.

I have enjoyed using pleonast for more than 4 years. I have not been using the site as much lately, as most of my writing I have done privately. (I tend to not want to debate every issue with myself!;P) I am moving my thoughts over to my blogspot site--I plan on writing publicly there. If you are so inclined and find the thoughts of my feeble mind humerous, irritating, provoking, or interesting or if you just want to know what I'm thinking--and really why wouldn't you want to know?--you can check out the blogger page at:

Thanks.
Sara

    Nice to meet you Sara.
    Probably a good choice.
    I'm not getting a lot of interest/activity here either, and get a bit tired of the debates as well. Good luck on Blogspot. !

    Thanks for your awesome remarks, Sara. Loved them. I hope I didn't come across in the "mad" post as thinking I was right. I was trying to get my mind around a different way of thinking. I think I have that now!
