First thought: Why do the green-colored parts of my page appear neon on a pc? Our Mac shows them as a nice mellow hue, but this is atrocious! How does it appear to y'all?
Second thought: We're leaving this Wednesday for Tabasco. Feeling just a teensy bit nervous about the plunge. But excited. And intimidated by the packing of personal belongings again. Please pray for us, and if you're interested in checking out our ministry website, go to web.mac.com/abnerandkelly.
Last thought: We've been pondering a name for our ministry. During our passport trip to Houston this weekend we brainstormed. Didn't find anything that fit just right. Here's a silly one that made us laugh after about thirty minutes of "Such and such" ministry or "this and that" ministry -
THE ONLY Ministry HA!!!
Only a joke, guys. Only a joke.
I'll post sometime next week probably. We have a two day drive Wed and Thurs.
Love to you all.

New Name...for now
I'm renaming my blog. Read "Mansfield Park" for further enlightenment. I'm not confident that it's the perfect blog name for me, but it'll do for now.
Long overdue
I crave a few moments of quiet, just to myself. And then when I get them I don't know what I should do. Tackle the mountain of laundry? Get in a few chapters of reading? Take a nap? Update the blog and website? Hit the paperwork that still needs to be done before we leave? Write the Thank You's and How Are You's that are waiting. It's like living in Vegas. Gambling my time.
A few weeks ago I read a devotional for moms that reminded me that soon enough the girls will be pretty self-sufficient, and I'll be longing for the days when "Mommy" was interrupting my quiet moments. I wish I handled life with more grace and genteel-ness (is that a word? if not, then I'm inventing it) than I do. I feel like such a klutz as I stumble and grumble through situations and daily grind. I am forever fighting against my grumpy attitude. Sometimes I don't even want to be around myself. Where did my cheerful disposition go? Where is the quick wit and silliness that (I think) I used to have?
Enough of that moaning.
We're leaving for Tabasco in two weeks. I'm ready. There's still so much to do, and Abner has had a stomach bug for much of this week. So it's going to be a race to the finish to get everything done before Sept. 30. I have a feeling it would have been like that anyway, though. When do we ever have everything done right before a deadline? By His grace we'll have the important stuff done. Check out the Mac page if you haven't already. I put up the July Mexico trip pictures, and started a ministry blog. Here's a few for you to enjoy here.
