179 - Today's Reading
Prior to 4th of July, I try to read a book related to our nation's independence. This particular one has been excellent, and I find myself tearing up on a regular basis as I listen to David McCullough read it. Ever since I heard him narrate the Civil War series, I have loved this man's contribution to helping us understand our nation's history.

177 - Purpose-Driven Couch Potato
Ingredients for making a Purpose-Driven Couch Potato:
Bible - For Lectio Divina in Colossians 1:15
Journal - For thoughts on above meditation
Hinds Feet on High Places - For devotional reading
1776 - For knowledge of US History
Crunchy Cons - For leading a discussion at the Lampost
Computer - for looking up how to spell independence, the true meaning of Machiavellianism, posting on a blog about 1776, and leading a Crunchy Cons discussion.
Add all these together in a couch and turn on the mind heat. When the discussion on Lamp-post is just beginning to boil, stir in hot Chai Latte and simmer until children need breakfast and you need closure on cleaning the closet you started working on yesterday.
Yields one serving of a refeshed heart, soul, and mind ready to face the day!
(It was 9:51 a.m., and I looked over and saw this mess and started to laugh. I hadn't closed a book, put anything away, or gotten dressed, but it had certainly been a stimulating morning! Just had to document it! My other option was the clean closet, but my husband said that was WAY too boring of a shot.)

175 - Beaver Nation Wins National Championship!
These are pictures taken of a computer screen video. So, my apologies for the lousy pictures today, but my Alma Mater, Oregon State University, won the College World Series for the second year in a row tonight! They didn't even have a winning season, and they are the first team in the history of college baseball to win with this kind of record.
My dh went to high school with the head coach too! :)
Go BEAVS!
(Sorry Carrie that your team lost.)

We spent a great day Saturday at the beach with two other lovely families. This little fourteen month old sweetheart was just adopted from China on March 12. Adorable!
