A new dress

How many of you have ever bought one of those clothing items that you have no idea where you are going to wear but it was resonably priced and you just had to have it??? I can say it rarely happens to me but today I fell victum to this very event. I was out shopping at a second hand shop where I get lots of my clothes and other things and there was this dress, a formal type dress, totally impractical for much I admit, and yet I had to have it. Where will I wear it? I have no idea, oh but I have shoes to match it so it's all ok!!! Mayby I'll wear it on my next cruise vacation formal dinner. I don't know but it's just so different than any dresses I own or have ever owned that I thought it should come home with me. It's navy blue, sleevless, with a narrow waist, 3 tiers of sheer fabric gathered and falling down from the waist, and then a sheer layer, cape of sorts falling over the shoulders. It's floor length, fits me to a T, and was under $10 so how could I leave it at the store for some less deserving patron???? I think I might have to take the fabric rose off from by the neck though and maybe figure out a way to make it into a hair peice or something because it might be just a big much! As if the dress isn't. Oh well hopefully someday I get a chance to wear it.

Now back to my homework...

Come be inspired!

Just wanted to mention a concert that I found out about that's coming up this Sat. that I think will be well worth attending. It is a piano concert, should last about 45min or so and is being presented by a young woman from the Phillipians who was born with only one hand and a stump. I have seen a video of her playing and it's truely incredible. She plays beautifully and as part of the program shares her testimony of how God has led her in her life despite her handicap. She has traveled the world touring with students from the music school that she attended and also plays the organ as well but I don't know if she will be playing that during either of the concerts. Here is a some more information about her. There will be two concerts offered in Whatcom county. One will be at the Bellingham Seventh Day Adventist Church, 910 N. Forest, Bellingham at 11am and is being presented in lue of most of the regular morning program. The second is being held at the Ferndale SDA church, 2488 Mountain View Rd. at 6:30pm and I think that one will be just the concert and nothing else though I am not 100% sure. Both are free with an offering being taken as far as I know.
I am going to go to the Bellingham one I am pretty sure and if anyone wants to come let me know you are coming and I'll look for you.
