Good morning friends, here are my thoughts and a question for you.
1) Michael and I finally finished season 3 of Greys Anatomy. We get to get caught up on the current season.
2)I am watching Private Practice this season and not sure what I think about it yet
3)I have no idea who I like on Survivor, I like James but he wont last because of his strength
4)Will be doing a Christmas Card exchange and will be accepting names and addresses Nov 1. You will choose how many people you want to exchange with. 1,5,10,20? Just letting you know!
So here is my question for you. This comes from the book I read for book club (the book listed on my blog below). When you see a homeless person, what do you do, what do you think? Have you ever gone out of your way to talk to someone who has nothing? Why or why not? Is it fear? Is it just uncomfortable? What do you think the homeless person is thinking when you do talk to him?

Book Review Same Kind of Different as Me
last night I attended book club with sister Kelly who was visiting from Fl. That visit will be talked about in my next post. Anyway, we went to the church, had a wonderful dinner of chicken casserole, rice, veggies and yummy apple pie and then talked about the book in small groups. The book we talked about it the book on my "What am I reading: column on this blog.
I want you to read this book. In fact, my next contest will be for a copy of this book. its that good. I don't care if you share my beliefs. I don't care if you are male or female or if you only read one type of book. This book is that good and will make you think. Mark Henry, our lead teaching pastor recommended it and I know why.
I wasn't going to tell you what its about but it involves modern day slavery and reads like a fiction book but its all true. I'm not sure any fiction write could write this story. Steven R and Tymm H, if you read this post, I really think you would like this book. I know a lot of people prefer not to read fiction books. Find a friend to read it the same time. Find someone you can talk about it with. I liked this book so much I would think about doing a yahoo book review group sometime. My sister checked it out at her library so try there. let me know if you are thinking about reading it or if you want more information. I did not read the back of the book before I read it and I am glad. I promise, this book will make you think and make you experience some emotions. Perhaps you are going on a long trip soon, I totally recommend it.
If you live in the Atlanta area, I cordially invite you to the next book club in February. A lot of people who went last night do not attend the church. I hope you will join me!

prayers needed for a very special family
I need all of you to pray for the Jason and Amber immediately. If you remember back a few months ago, their daughter Aubrey passed away from a brain tumor. This weekend Amber went into labor with daughter #2 and Ava was born stillborn. I am sooo sad for this special family. I can not imagine losing 2 children in one year. I pray that their faith will sustain them. Please ask your friends and family to pray for Jason and Amber right now.

fall
Its Fall. We felt it last night and early this morning. Yesterday I went to my Bible Study and realized I had a flat tire. After calling the service to come and help, I waited outside for almost 2 hours. It was okay. It was cool, sunny and a wonderful time. I had not been asleep for almost 20 hours but I really enjoyed this time just reading a wonderful book spending time outside.
I came home, slept a few hours and spent some time with Michael and Lucy talking to a neighbor after their walk. It just felt good. We played trivia last night and came home. This morning, I had to take the tire back to Kauffman Tires (who repair tires for free) and waited outside for about 90 minutes (they repaired it the day before but made a booboo, I appreciate their honesty) and continued reading this most wonderful book. I am reading it for book club at church and will do a full review after I complete it. My sister is coming up for work next week and will be attending book club with me, I am excited about that.
Anyway, its fall. I love this season. I love the apple festival that we will be going to this weekend. I love holding hubby's hand and snuggling.
I'm ready for pumpkins, leaves, apples, trick or treating, Thanksgiving, family and friends. I am working tonight and we have community group tomorrow (taco night) and then Apple Festival on Saturday and Discovery 2 class on Sunday..Busy times for the Christopher. I hope to get to the gym tomorrow but that will be a whole other post.
What are you doing today?

random thoughts
More Random Thoughts
1) Our 6th anniversary just passed, how cool is that?
2) Michael and I are working on Greys Anatomy Season 3. The last thing we watched last night was Meredith falling into the water. We also watched part of Field of Dreams
3) We were "ghosted" Michael left for work and found a bucket of candy and a ghost on the porch. We are to now "ghost" other people on our street.You put a paper ghost on your door to let other people know not to "ghost" other people. Lucy and I went for a walk today and noticed over 10 homes who have participated so far. I think its kind of cool.
4)See post below for the link to vote on Michael's costume. He also did a post on what we are studying at church
5)Our church is huge but its really starting to feel like a home church home. We are involved in a small group and doing a Discovery Class and our small group seems to get along. I hope they continue to love us unconditionally because we sure have our faults. My women's Bible Study is also great even though I fell asleep through it last week. Leviticus was not my favorite book.Michael and I have lots of homework this week. This church really rocks..Check it out at www.northmetro.org
6)Its really fall and leaves are starting to change. The Apple Festival is next weekend and I am excited about that.
7)Tomorrow we will see what everyone on my blogroll is blogging about
That's all. Hopefully it will be an uneventful night at work

Husbands and such
Back to your regulary scheduled blogging.
Michael posted some good posts today regarding tv, and just day to day stuff. I enjoyed each of his posts and those are the kind of things I like to read about. Hope you will hop on over and leave a comment somewhere. He has been pretty active these days!
I did this post before and hope I get a few more responses. Lets play "brag about your spouse"
In the comment section, tell us what you love about your hubby/wife/significant other.
I will go first. Michael went and got my membership back up at the gym for me today and we got me some shoes this week. Except for the ability to find time, I really dont have an excuse to not to work out. I actually like to go the gym. I can go over to Big Lots next door afterwards and walk around. I really want this weight off before China. Way before China. I want to be healthy.
Michael ordered Greys Anatomy season 3 and we are working on it. Michael was very social at trivia on Monday night. My Michael can be very silly at times, I love it when he is silly.

Life in general
I am waiting to hear from just a few more winners and then I will list what everyone won!
Last night, Michael and I played trivia with our new small group and a pizza place and we had a really good time. Michael listed several of the questions that we had.
Heading back to work tonight and then again on Thursday and I have a few days off. Friday we have our First Friday adoption support group. We will be spending our anniversary (Saturday) at the Greek Festival (we are always out of town and never get to go) and then probably dinner afterwards. Sunday we start a class at church and that will be good.
In our Women's Bible Study, we will be doing Leviticus this week.
Its definitely Fall here this morning, and I hope we get some pumpkins and things this weekend as well. Scarecrows and hay are already our and the leaves are just about to turn colors. its such a wonderful time.
Sorry about the lack of substance, perhaps later..HaHa!
