Here By Grace

This is my brother Lyn. Lyn passed away in October 2004 of a massive heart attack. He was a 43 year old husband and father of four. He was also the most inspirational minister I'd ever heard! My brother was the type of person who never met a stranger. He was such a beautiful person...inside and out. This was a total shocker for the entire family. I know I will never be the same. See, Lyn was the kind of person you could tell anything. He was trustworthy and dependable. He was also a man of his word who was truly in love with his wife and children. I named this blog Here By Grace because he always told me that the reason my life is so good is because of God's grace. I miss him terribly.

All I Want For Christmas

Well, it's Christmas Eve and I'm tired. I'm not tired because I've been working, cleaning, or shopping. I'm tired because I've been home with my own kids for an entire week! Look, I'll be the first to admit that teachers don't get paid enough. I realize this every 2 weeks when I get my paycheck, however I would be willing to give up some of that cash in exchange for a free week at home... Alone...By myself! Don't get me wrong. I love my children, but sometimes I just need some time alone. Some time to have an uninterrupted thought. Some time to watch a television show from beginning to end. Some time to realize that my family is what makes me tick and they are the reason why I'm such an all-around happy chick.

I've got a date tonight with my man Gregory, so I've gotta go get cute! Merry Christmas all!!
