Jumbled Thoughts on Monday Morning

~ I need a haircut - badly. I'm wondering if I want to get something new done, or if I just want to refresh what I already have. In any case, something must be done. It's starting to get a mind of its own, and this sort of behavior should not be encouraged. (Actually, when hair can be said to have "behavior," that's your first sign that there's a problem, no?)

~ Leah has developed a little cough. It sounds kinda congested and wet, so I'm wondering if there's something I should do. She doesn't seem to feel bad at all, but it kills me to hear the hacking. Opinions? Should I wait to do anything and see if it goes away, or do I go ahead and call the doctor? Gracious........this is where it gets hard. Motherly intuition, where art thou?

~ Why do the grocery stores in my area all mark down the same things, to nearly the same price, at the same time? I mean, I understand the idea of competition and all, but seriously? Come on. Throw me a bone or something. Can't one of you mark down meat this week, while the other marks down diapers? I promise to visit you both! I'm trying really hard here.

~ I'm going to be sad when my Bible study is over. It's been so wonderful. It's bringing me back where I need to be, I think.....though from the dry spot where I was, anything would have been an improvement. I've missed being in the Word so much.

~ A couple of weeks ago in church, we had 7 people spontaneously come forward to be baptized after a message on how God wants to use our pasts for our good and His glory. So powerful! I've been thinking about it since then. It was amazing.

~ I'm still not watching TV during the day! Hurray for me! This has helped my mindset so much. Seems to breathe life into my day.

~ On a seemingly contradictory note....... The season finale of "24" is tonight, and American Idol finishes up this week. Bittersweet. =) I'm pulling for Kris Allen, for anyone who's following, though Adam is mad talented, too. I just think I'd be more likely to sit and listen to Kris's music for an extended period of time. I like the acoustic vibe. Oh, and of course I'm pulling for Jack Bauer. He's really gotten himself into a pickle this year, hasn't he? Man.....when that guy has a bad day, he has a bad day!

~ This is my new favorite song - so, so powerful. (When I looked on YouTube for this video, I found one of - get this - Kris Allen leading worship and singing this song. Man, I hope he wins.)
