Iowa
Way to go Iowa, on being one of the 'fattest' states.
Might be time to eat a bit more of our home-grown corn and a few less deep fat-fried snicker bars at the state fair this year.
Just a thought.

Quite the Week
I've had one of those weeks that just hasn't seemed to end. Lots of stress and unexpected things have made time CRAWL! And the thing is, I've been keeping busy, which is ironic because usually when you keep yourself busy, time seems to fly by.
For some reason, when this seems to happen to me, or if I am a bit discouraged, I always seem to crave two things: water and sports movies. Random? Yah.
In the last five days, I have watched "We Are Marshall", "Rudy" and "Glory Road". I have also consumed WAY more water than I normally do.
Lets just say that I'm VERY WELL hydrated and believe that ANYTHING is possible!!
In other news... one of the biggest trees in the McClanahan backyard was either struck by lightning or tipped over by a giant troll Monday evening/Tuesday morning.
This "majority of the tree" crushed our camper and did some rooftop damage (although not sure how much yet- it's still hanging out there til the tree guys can come to the rescue!).
If it weren't for the camper, we concluded that the huge "troll tipped-over tree" would have crashed into Marc's room and broken his femur that HASN'T been broken. Definitely quite the excitement w/the McClanahan family.

Words Cannot Describe
This past weekend of my life, I felt more peace, simplicity, love and direction than I EVER have within one short weekend.
Jules and I went camping in MN and it was AMAZING! I hadn't been camping since I was a lot younger- and I always remembered not liking it, so I was a bit hesitant, but I LOVED IT!!
There's something special and amazing about camping that I hadn't experienced before. I was surrounded by God's beautiful creation, and I think the biggest change for me was that I didn't have an agenda. I didn't have a schedule- no places to be, people to see, things to do- just being able to enjoy the outdoors and focus on GOD! Being able to just sit in the stillness and LISTEN! Being able to THINK for a change! It was SO good! (Not to mention, being in amazing company!:)
My eyes were opened to a lot of things- and a pretty major decision was finalized while being there- and for once, I knew WITHOUT A DOUBT that my heart and motives were in the right place.
(We also had a bit of fun...)
God is good! All the time!

This Is For You, Jules
Not sure if anyone else will find this video great, but I posted it on here mostly for Jules.
I love the music passion that is so evident within them. Excellent!!!
This song/video will always have a special place in my heart.

Sick
There are some days I experience so much sin it makes me sick to my stomach. These days I get a very clear picture as to the control Satan has over the world and how corrupt society is. Today is one of those days. My stomach aches. I hate sin.
I am so thankful for Jesus.

What's New?
I love children. VBS really opened my eyes to that. I also love music. That opened my eyes that maybe teaching music to children would be something I would enjoy! I'll be teaching one or two music classes in Honduras, so that will be a good trial-run!
I'm thankful for God's perfect timing. As an update to those who didn't know, I recently found out I have a thyroid disease. I get to take a pill for the rest of my life!! But I'm totally alright with it! My dad's mom and one of my aunts have both been on the same pill for 15 years. I guess that means I'm not adopted... God completely provided and timed everything that needed to happen for it exactly when it came about.
I love the book "Blue like Jazz". Haven't quite finished it yet, but I love it already. Can't wait to pass it along to others.
Kung Fu Panda is funny. I like the monkey. Thanks to a generous "summer fun" package from McFarland, Jamie and I enjoyed a full movie splurge with popcorn, milkduds, pop-the whole shibang. Best line of the night was probably when we were ordering food and the guy asked if we were going to see "Sex and the City". He was kinda surprised that we weren't!
Both brothers graduated in May- I think Dan calculated that was 66.666% of the McClanahan children, but if calculated off of mass, it was about 76% of the McClanahan children.
Well, I think that's about it! Thank you few, but fabulous, readers! Love!
