Extra Grace Required

So many things demand grace. Loving. Living, Walking. Waiting. Talking. Serving. Listening. Forgiving. Driving. Working. Dancing. Nearly every relationship I've experienced, from family to friendships, deposits grace into my life. I'm so thankful. My identity as a child of God, and the grace offered to me there captures my astonishment and my gratitude. Perhaps you can relate? If not, I hope my record presents the joy and the struggle genuinely and to God's honor.

Suck no more

You know how certain words are somewhat off limits?
Well, suck is one of those words.

Here is an acceptable use: My vacuum sucks!

Unfortunately, that is not currently true.
My vacuum no longer sucks so I had to take it in for service.
Sad.
Of all the cleaning jobs, I love vacuuming.

When we were kids, particularly on days off, but also on weekends,
(as my sisters could testify to) we always had jobs to do.
If choices were on offer, vacuuming and ironing were the jobs I picked.
Dusting is a chore I still avoid. Dusters don't seem to breakdown like vacuums do. Bummer that!
