Tara asked me if I wouldn't mind baking the bread this week as she is at camp.
"Sure!" I said.
FOUR DAYS LATER. . .
I completely forgot! So, we are going to call this week a sabbatical and I will be back on Monday, July 5th with a new post.
Pinky swear!

Oops! Technical Difficulties
Hi everyone,
I was playing with Blogger in Draft, creating a new template, and I inadvertently deleted the Mister Linky widgets. I have submitted a ticket to have them restored. I am not sure if it will work OR if it will be done any time soon.
In the meantime, I will re-widget this post. If you want to relink, that would be much appreciated!

Spring Break
Hi there everyone,
Between Tara and myself, we've not managed to get a post up today. I told Tara I'd take care of it today, but the day is rapidly passing by and I am about to fall asleep.
I think we'll take a break today and get back on track next week.
Still, anyone who wants to, can leave a little SWB love in the comments!
Until next week,
Mary and Tara

On it's way... and it's here!
Hi there! Just a heads up that I will be late in getting my post up this week. Come back late Monday or early Tuesday and you will find a host post here!
Several hours later... Thank you for your patience!
It seems like I am always full of excuses and you all are always so gracious to me. I think that might be on my best things list for the week! Actually, I would also add some wonderful friends who I reached out to last night as I was having myself a Mary-LUE crisis of confidence. I asked for prayer and they came through.
I am finding myself at a time in life when I am somewhat overwhelmed with all that is going on. It isn't all bad stuff. It is just a LOT of stuff. I laughingly asked my husband the other day how we had managed to go so many years without the level of busyness we are experiencing now. However we did it, we are grateful, because this stuff is very challenging right now! I am teaching four classes, with three different preps (which means that three of the four classes are different and require different things to prepare and get ready). My husband has had another 1/2 a job added to his job description and so he is out of the house (he works from home usually) more often. We've had some near misses with the scheduling, but so far the kids have all been dropped off and picked up when they need to be! To top it all off, our landlord let us know he wants the house back. We were blessed and found a lovely place just a few blocks away. There are some downsides--it costs more and we lose some space--but the neighborhood is really nice and the landscaping and views are wonderful. We move in two weeks. Yikes! Not exactly sure how all that is going to work.
Anyway, one comfort in the middle of all this (in addition to gracious and praying friends) was this scripture that I came across in a devotion one day:
22 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,

26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
27 And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.
Number 6:22-27
I really don't think there's anything I can add to top that!
Blessings to you all this week.
Although the examen is a Christian practice, I would hope that anyone who has something to share would feel welcome here. Also, if you don't have your own blog and would like to participate, share your bread in the comments. To holding on to what gives life,

How do you do Sleeping with Bread?
Sleeping with Bread is a Monday meme. You can participate in one of two ways: 1) Pick one of the above examen question sets and answer it in the comments section of my SWB post; or, 2) Create your own Sleeping with Bread post. You are welcome to right click on the Sleeping with Bread button and save it to your own computer before uploading into your post. Then, make sure you come back and put the link to your post in the automated Mr. Linky form at the end of the current SWB post. We hope you will join in with the fellow bakers as we Sleep with Bread on Mondays!

Coming soon to a Sleeping w/Bread blog near you...
an actual SWB post!
Sorry everyone. I worked in my daughter's class this a.m. and thus began a crazy day, in which the universe seemed determined to frustrate me with the craziness of other people.
Tomorrow I will get a proper post up.

Monday, September 15th
Thanks to everyone who joined us last week and shared their bread.
It looks like there is a lot of illness, serious illness, in people's lives. It is heartbreaking, but I hope that looking at the consolations in our lives helps us to bear the desolation of illness.
This site is listed on two meme directories now; I'm hoping we will see some new faces.
Finally, I want to reiterate what I said over at Life, the Universe and Everything last week: although the examen is a Christian practice and I am a Christian, I would hope that anyone who has something to share would feel welcome here.

The Return of the Bakery
When I stopped doing the Sleeping with Bread meme here, it was due to the time and effort it took to round up even the few SWB posts by other authors. Now, with the magic of Mister Linky, all I have to do it put up the weekly post.
I've been feeling a need to "sleep with bread" and I think this is a good time and place to get started again.
So, please feel free to join me on Mondays with a little fresh baked bread.
God bless,
Mary-LUE
