I got a call late this afternoon that the loan we were hoping to be approved for has come through! Borrowing is not my favorite course of action, but it is what God has for us right now. Praise Him. Thanks for your prayers.

Dear Marmot,
I've missed your blogs of late because I've been engaged in my favorite thing, dealing with federal bureaucracies (Social Security in particular, aka Mystery Babylon, the Great Harlot. Or at the very least, her mother).
So happy birthday, very late!!!! And praise God for His provision. Manna is a funny thing.
I wish I were deeper and more mature spiritually, but I'm still pretty shallow and immature. Lately I have spent NO time in Bible study, and it shows. Thanks for offering up such a meaty piece of scripture. I will gnaw on it for a while.
Love, Much Afraid (formerly dwindling genius) (still the entropic mom)
Dear Much: Ahhh, a day without bureaucracy is like a day without sunshine, hm? Gotta love the never-ending part-time job... So, I'm wondering if you're Much Afraid because your geni-osity has completely dwindled? Enquiring minds want to know! I am so glad you are blogging because you KNOW how awful I am about returning phone calls, and this way we can keep up better :) I know what you mean about bible study. Today I was wondering why I take care of everything else BUT study in the morning. I don't have small children running around, I don't go to work till 9 a.m., I have a house and a coffee pot and a soft chair. I have concluded I am an ungrateful pig. So, I asked forgiveness and started over. Of all the great things about God, that has got to be my favorite: that He is always there, takes us where we are at and is always willing to start over.
I don't know, I think a day without bureaucracy is more like a day without thumbscrews, but since I've never experienced the latter (and never wish to), perhaps I overstate. Such a manic whiner!
Thanks for the encouraging word. You are always inspiring, and you make me smile.
I think I'm smarter than I used to be, but I'm also much, much slower! Retarded intelligence? Maybe!
