<\/p>\nIt’s been a kind of long week, so I’m glad it’s almost the weekend. I realize that sounds odd coming from someone who’s not working right now, but it’s still true!<\/p>\n
Eric is going out with his brother tonight after work for a “last” hurrah…at least before the babies come. They’re having dinner at Easton and watching the Bond movie. But it means I won’t see him again until late. So it’s a long day alone for me. Still, I’m glad they can do this since it may be a while before they can do it again. At least I hope so! <\/p>\n
I love words. Having gone back to my personal Bible study in Romans, my favorite part is doing word studies. For example, in Romans 1:25, where it says “they exchanged the truth of God for a lie,” the word exchanged <\/span>actually means that they thought they were getting an equal trade. They thought it was an equivalent swap (Strongs). How sad for them (and us, sometimes), and how cool that a single word can tell us so much!<\/p>\n I think today is a laundry day. I need to get some things washed so I can finally pack a hospital bag. It’s probably important to get on with that! But since I’ve got a lot more hours to fill than normal, maybe I’ll try to get out and do some Christmas shopping or something. We shall see…<\/p>\n And, finally, last night, we picked up our new glider from Babies R Us. Eric set it up, and that pretty much means the nursery is as ready as it’s going to get. And here is a picture for you…<\/p>\n Happy Friday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s been a kind of long week, so I’m glad it’s almost the weekend.
