Life in Conway

I haven't been posting very much lately mostly because there is nothing to write about. It is pretty mundane here. Still getting the house organized and just caring for JJ. I did go to a Bible Study yesterday at Fellowship Bible Church in hopes of meeting some people. I didn't visit much with anyone but it was only the first meeting. It is only a four week study on one of Beth Moore's studies called 'Loving Well'. I think it was a great time for JJ who was in the nursery while I was studying. He is so social and has no problems on his own. I peaked in on him during our break and enjoyed watching him.
I had another visit with my neighbor Margaret across the street. They are grandparents living with their grandchildren whose mother died last year in their old house. The mom fell down a flight of stairs and broke her neck and the son found her. Very sad. The two kids are Maggie, 12, and Leck, 20. Maggie met JJ before when I first went to meet them and Margaret said she has not stopped talking about him. I shared with Margaret about my own mom and that I would like to be a friend to Maggie. It excited me to think that God may have me here to help her. Margaret agreed that they would be glad to watch JJ since it is getting close to the time I need to go to dentist, hair, etc. I can tell they are great people and it will be nice to have them as neighbors.
On another note, I talked to the leader of the Young Life branch here and he wants to meet with Robert and me later this week. This could be a great place for us to make good on our 2008 goal of getting involved somewhere and volunteering. It is also just another starting point for us to start meeting people and becoming part of this community. My friend count here is still 0, zero, goose-egg. I'll blog sooner next time.
