Recent Pics of Cellar Cir.

You'll just have to trust me when I say these pictures show SO MUCH progress over there at Cellar Cir. You may not see it, but I can remember the hours my dear husband has put in. Most of my time there thus far has been spent cleaning up after the "crew". :) We still have far to go, but we have come a long way too!



Living room. We closed in the far wall (the office is behind that wall) and opened a wide doorway to the right into the dining room. We added recessed lighting and rewired the room.



The Master Bath. Totally gutted, re-wired, drain in the floor moved, re-plumbed, added recessed lighting, new skylight, etc etc etc.



View from kitchen into dining room. Added recessed lighting, re-wired, removed paneling, added insulation, new sheetrock, knocked down a wall, created 1/2 wall separating kitchen and dining room.


Opposite end of same room; looking from fireplace through dining room into the kitchen. Added a skylight (the light part of the ceiling in the kitchen), insulated, re-plumbed, re-wired, added recessed lighting.



Close-up of the kitchen sans cabinets. We plan to order those this week.
I didn't include pics of every room, just the ones that have undergone the most changes. Let me reiterate that I am SO thankful we don't have to live there while we work on all these projects. As you can see, there is a layer of sheetrock dust covering just about everything right now (and I had even swept the floor that day!).

Wow! It's looking great! (We've been through the whole remodel thing--twice now--so I completely understand "progress" in the form of drywall, mud, and wiring!) :o) It'll be fun to see paint and all of those fun "finishing" details. We're actually still working on paint for our new place--someday! :o)

It's really taking shape. I guess we haven't been over in a while. We should see it some time. Keep up the great work!!!

Resolving Everyday Conflict

If you've ever been asked to lead a discussion or teach about a certain spiritual discipline, you can be sure that the Lord will lovingly bring just that exact topic to the forefront in your own life. He'll graciously put your ugly sinful tendencies "right on Front Street," as my good friend Dara likes to say. This is grace! This is God's kindness to reveal sinful tendencies in our own hearts so that we can repent, seek renewed relationship with God and others, and be used of Him. Here is a story about one such evidence of God's grace to me. Josh and I were late to our small group last night. Oh, we were there . We had technically arrived on time, but we remained in the parking lot of the neighborhood's clubhouse for over 45 minutes before we were able to walk in holding hands. Much later in the evening, on our way home from Grace Group, Eden begged to be the one to fill the boys in on why we were late (the boys had driven separately from a soccer practice

The Hand of God

 I am in Scotland. S C O T L A N D. This is me; Joanna, the one whose comfort zone is within about one square mile, who said she never wanted to leave the USA, who hates to travel on anything public, who nearly hyperventilates at the mere mention of airplanes. How is this possible that I am here? Only by God's grace. Every step in front of the other, every long line, every minute on those airplanes was enabled by God's grace. On my end, it wasn't always pretty--usually it was very ugly--and I may have said, "I can't do this" more times than we could count (Josh had to tell me to quit saying that), but God was faithful to me and I have a really great story about one such miracle to share with you, but for perspective and contrast I have to share a really ugly story first. Here goes:  We dropped off our rental car in Dublin about 11am, and had to ride a shuttle bus back to the Dublin airport to catch our 1:10pm "quick" flight over to Edinburgh, Scotlan

The Whole Truth

Our cat, Willow, has kittens periodically. By periodically I mean about 2-3 times a year, and we don't hate it. We actually enjoy guessing when her due date is, how many kittens there will be, what they will look like, etc. Then when she has them, well, is there anything cuter than kittens? But sooner or later, 8 weeks later to be exact, it's time for those kittens to go. At that time we will put an ad on Craigslist and find homes for each and every one. This brings the fun hassle of sending people additional pictures, telling them again how much we are charging (that was in the ad!), setting up potential meetings with people who will ghost at the last minute, after we've already given them our address. Everyone should put an ad on Craigslist at least once just for the experience. Should you finally get someone who likes the look of a kitten, wants to pay the price, can meet at an agreeable time, successfully finds your house, is okay with the fact that the kittens haven&#
