Bawling for God-sake
From daughter, Sember:
I too am so looking forward to Christmas. And yes I will probably cry. But it is good to cry. Especially when one is crying for such a lovely reason. It felt good to let myself realize in the moment that this is hard. And do what I needed physically in order to deal with what I was living emotionally in a way that God created me to do. So, in other words crying is Godly. And as such and because of the time I have clocked weeping, sobbing, crying, pouting, and general boo-hooing, I am damn near the most devout, Godly person I know.

Love it!
This made me burst with laughter...because haven't we all been there? I wish I had that same response! Margie, we are looking forward to having you with us this weekend at our retreat.
April, I'm really looking forward to it. Am working on stuff right now.
That is a great one!
I dunno. Sember is very cool and I'm sure very Godly, but I cry a lot. Lots. I might be her rival.
Jenni, I'm certain you are.
Well, I meant in the crying dept., just to be clear. :)
