Summer 2010

Charlotte Cole — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 07:53:39 +0100

It has not been the best summer altogether, but it is having a sweet ending.

It seems as though I either over or under schedule my children in the summer and this year was under for two, and just right for two. I need a routine as much as the next guy and am really looking forward to school starting. In addition to the heat and my lack of routine, we complete one full year of daily workmen who stated at the old house and have pressed Read More...

I Haven't Dissappeared

Hello Readers,

I know some of you are disappointed that I have been taking a break. Besides spending A LOT of time with my children, I am preparing for more speaking. I am preparing a talk on forgiveness, and wouldn't you know I have something major to wrestle with in that arena. I will put in on paper soon, bare with me.

I am up for a huge time of being fed and nourished, I have no doubt that I will lots to write about when I return.

I used to always thRead More...

Hello,

The Lord did not well up in me a new article this week. On Monday I am going to publish archives each day (if I can figure out how to do it) for the whole week.

If you are a new reader you might really enjoy this and if you are a regular reader, who is feeling let down sorry.

I really intend to write more here (in the blog) but I find I usually don't have the time. That being said The Lord has laid a book on my heart. I am very excited anRead More...

Highlights of 2009 (Pt 1 Dad's 70th Celebration)

Charlotte Cole — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 20:15:27 +0100

I quit writing letters at Christmas when I heard someone carry on about how much she hated them. It had never occurred to me that people hated them; I love them. I save them for a time I really have to devote to them and it's like a gift to me, even if I barley know the family.

That's why I was really stung when Read More...

Be Right Back!

Charlotte Cole — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 18:35:44 +0100

I'm trying, in fact I've written some entries but I couldn't pull it off.

Monday I intend to have a great article on Step Families! I also intend to blog today of over the weekend.

It's hard for me, a blog is a journal and I can't help but feel 'who really cares?', but I believe people do and so I will try to bust out of my self consciousness in this matter.

Good News/ Bad News

Charlotte Cole — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:32:18 +0100

The good news is that while our basement was a bit scary at the purchase of our house we were able to gut it. More good news is that the sheet rock went in yesterday and the workers stayed late to get it all installed (which will make the work be completed sooner).

The bad news is that when we came down stairs last night we smelled gas at around 9PM. We surrendered to the fact that we needed to call the gas company and we concluded that one of the new pieces of sheet Read More...

Finally able to Breathe

Charlotte Cole — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:23:10 +0100

It's been the most wonderful time of my life, in a since- God has lavished me beyond anything I could imagine. I have been awestruck by His mercy on me and His limitless love. I have had faith it was there but for the last several months I have seen what it is I have had faith in for so long.

In spite of the blessings it has been emotionally, physically and in every other way draining. I am on the tail end of it and I love where I have landed.

I'm dying to write but Read More...

My Biggest Move!

Charlotte Cole — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:55:10 +0100

I’m on the downward climb of one of the hardest things I have ever done; move! For thirteen years we lived at our former house and called it home. We had babies there, our kids learned to ride their bikes and it was where our Christmas tree and pumpkins created memories as the seasons passed. We planted sunflowers every spring and my neighbor grew me Blue Bonnets (from my native Texas) that I planted in my ‘grow-anything-under-the sun spot’ by tRead More...

CMA's 2009

In reflecting on the Country Music Awards 2009 in Nashville I am so taken with the poise, grace and talent exhibited by the humble star Taylor Swift. Her unbelievable gift is not what struck me, but her heart and absolute humility left a lasting impression. I think my 14 year old son has excellent taste and I praise God for HRead More...
