the luxury of time

ByBeth Ferguson

This has been a “take it easy” kind of day!  I have been studying catalogs, reading magazines, surfing the Internet … looking at recipes, gift ideas, and holiday decorations.

My favorite magazines today are … Bon Appetit; Every Day with Rachael Ray; Real Simple; and Good Housekeeping!  I still want to read Southern Living!

I’m thankful today for the luxury of time (albeit a short while) and the joy of daydreaming!  Can’t wait now to start making those lists!  Thanksgiving is just around the corner.

uncomfortable gratitude – updated

ByBeth Ferguson

I wrote the following words in January 2011 … shortly after our small sweet church disbanded:  It is uncomfortable to be without a church home right now.  I shared with a few friends last night that I don’t like these circumstances.
