Flies Time!

Yes, and time flies when you're having fun!  And I have been having a bunch of fun, or should I say, work, lately.

I am still working temp jobs, the latest one seems to be sticking longer than the rest (knock on wood and rub a lucky charm)!  I actually like what I'm doing even though it is probably the most boring thing I've done in a long time, but since it's so boring, I'm getting a ton of crocheting done at the same time.  Now that's what I call multi-tasking!

I've been getting more involved with the Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) and have started a small Prayer Shawl ministry.  That's why I've been crocheting so much.  Last Sunday Alice, the other woman that has taken up this ministry with me, knitted me a beautiful Prayer Shawl!  Alice is a wonderful woman and between us we will have most of Boise covered in Prayer Shawls! :)

I've also been helping with the writing and gathering of writing for our Sunday services.  Sometimes I amaze myself with what I can come up with when I just let the words flow from my heart to my hands.  I'm going to have to post some of the writing here on the blog one day when I figure out how to do that.

I've also begun to sew again after an 12 year hiatus.  I'm making some chasubles for the Pastor, along with some stoles.  It feels good to make this breakthrough and start to create more in a positive way. 

Kris is doing well and has lost almost 100 lbs since her gastric bypass she had in October 2010!  It's quite amazing, although I still don't think the surgery is something I want to go through.  We each must pick our own road through this life, and I'm relatively satisfied with my choices thus far.

Kris and I are also getting more involved in the LGBTQ community, just making tiny baby steps out into the world of politics and such.  The politics in Idaho is a bit different, conservative, and takes some finesse to get things done.  It seems that the whole world's political environment is changing so quickly, it's hard to just jump into the stream and not get swept away by the force of the changes.  Hopefully by participating a bit more we can help make a positive difference, at least in Idaho.
