The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands by Dr. Laura
Dank u zeer!
Thanks for all the super ideas and thoughts about the graduation speech. Despite the fact that I blog ad nauseam, I was planning to keep the talk quite short–somewhere on the order of five minutes. I love Tim’s idea about saying, “Well, I’m not here to charge you,” and then to go on and say whatever it is that people normally say at graduation speeches. I also appreciated all the other great thoughts.
If you could pray that God would bring to mind just what He’d have me to say to this particular group of students, I’d be grateful. There are lots of nifty things I could spout about, but I really would like God’s leading. Then, I remember to give HIM the credit!
Also, this weekend is the big AP picnic. I’ve got folks coming in from MI, DE, NJ, PA, and ID. I’m not exactly sure how many people will be here, but I’m estimating 20 to 25 overnight guests for Friday or Saturday or both. The house needs to be readied for the many people sleeping here, and I need to think about what to feed everyone. Also, I pray for good, hot, pleasant pool and Ultimate Frisbee weather!
The book I’m currently reading is excellent. I highly, highly recommend it for any woman with a husband (or a fiancee). It’s an interesting, entertaining, thought-provoking, convicting read which will ultimately improve your relationship with your husband. Go to the online library closest to you and put in a request today! (I’m only halfway through, so I hope it doesn’t turn rotten.)

Sounds like a good book to me!
Sounds like a good time to me, I’ll pray for nice weather and a good time!
Wow, that’s a lot of people. I hope this lousy weather clears up for you.
Regarding the book you are reading, I am so into this topic at the moment! I’m almost got Dr. Laura’s book out of the library last week, but I got out The Surrendered Wife by Laura Doyle instead . . . But the book that is really interesting to me right now is Fascinating Womanhood (I always “read” several books at once . . . I “read through them,” skipping around. No, I don’t read novels that way.)
I haven’t been to the library in ages, so now I have a reason to get there! It’ll give me something to do as I wait for parents to pick up their kids during summer camp.
Hey, hey, what about me from NY? =)
I’m impressed that you can give speeches and can think of tons to say. My mind always goes blank in front of people. (your book sounds fascinating)
Sounds like an interesting book. I’d go to my library, but I’m too embarrassed. I had an overdue book for the first time in about ten years. I felt so horrible; I made Snincr pay the fine so they wouldn’t level me with a condescending look.
Have fun with the picnic! Sounds like a blast.
