I long for focus, you long for variety. Maybe we'll have a chance one day to meet at a playground, before our kids are all too old to hang out at playgrounds.<BR/><BR/>Liz, I'm also grateful for you tagging me for the Thinking Blogger meme. I think my post about it is ready for tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>Wess, have you read both new books already? Mark's just came out last month! Now I know why I wish I was in graduate school.<BR/><BR/>Let's hold Fuller as a last resort - but it's always good to have a back up. I'll let you know if I find anything else. That's another blogpost in the hopper.Robin M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10336915224193704866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13642801.post-29196485281958470312007-06-05T08:41:00.000-04:002007-06-05T08:41:00.000-04:00Robin I am really jealous that you're getting to g...Robin I am really jealous that you're getting to go to the emerging leaders conference. I've heard great stuff from Ryan about all those guys and both Doug and Mark's new books are really good. <BR/><BR/>About our convergence in LA - I plan to be there - and if we can't find a house I am pretty sure I could find a menno to host us, or maybe we could do it at the Mennonite church building. Another option would be to meet at Fuller, at the catalyst or something. The catalyst is the living room style student center (that's pretty posh for a seminary) with lots of couches etc. Those are some options. Let me know how else I can help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13642801.post-88480687123468420612007-06-04T18:13:00.000-04:002007-06-04T18:13:00.000-04:00I try to be grateful that I have choices and see t...<I>I try to be grateful that I have choices and see them as opportunities to examine where God is leading me instead of becoming resentful of the blessings in my life.</I><BR/><BR/>This is well said and rings true for me, especially these days.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>Liz Opp, <A HREF="http://thegoodraisedup.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">The Good Raised Up</A>Liz Opphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09802348848085930901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13642801.post-43113068801512630352007-06-04T17:36:00.000-04:002007-06-04T17:36:00.000-04:00Moms get to wear many different hats and I admit a...Moms get to wear many different hats and I admit a little jealousy about that. I don't have so many hats. (The fact that I don't look good in hats being irrelevant...) I've offered more than once to switch places and be the stay-at-home-one, but alas, it has not yet come to be.<BR/><BR/>I smiled as I read many similarities in the summer things-to-do and also that I hadn't realized until now that our kidlets are only a year apart. Mine being 6 and 10 and heading into 1st and 5th next year.<BR/><BR/>I hope your many opportunities, as you commented, do not feel like burdens during what should be a time of fun. The balance may come in unexpected ways.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13642801.post-81050590892534776582007-06-04T15:41:00.000-04:002007-06-04T15:41:00.000-04:00Thanks, Gregg.

One important thing for me is to remember that these things change - some days, months, years need/offer more homemaking, some more writing, etc. Whether I like the current phase or not, this too will pass. <BR/><BR/>I try to be grateful that I have choices and see them as opportunities to examine where God is leading me instead of becoming resentful of the blessings in my life.Robin M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10336915224193704866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13642801.post-52812662753522659762007-06-04T15:09:00.000-04:002007-06-04T15:09:00.000-04:00I'm glad you're all of those things: homemaker, wr...I'm glad you're all of those things: homemaker, writer, and minister.
