1.  Being on time for church!  Usually I've been late, because I've had the hardest time making the various connections to church - but now I know, what time is the best to go and make it there on time! :) YAH!

4. Leisure Sunday of resting and catching up w/ family and friends - magic jack has been so wonderful.  I love being able to pick up a phone and call my family and friends in the US!  

5. The smell of vanilla - which is around our house these days!  Gotta love it...

I kept thinking about the refugees and how t...
