Question: How much do I already love this weekend?
Answer: A WHOLE LOT.
Some friends of ours are coming to town, and in addition to a menu line-up that would make a dietician weep, there’s a whole bunch of college football on our horizon. There’s also a forecast that features highs in the mid-80s, lows in the 60s and sunny skies all the live-long day.
(By the way, do you know what we’ve enjoyed all week long in Birmingham?)
(A BREEZE.)
(Hallelujah.)
Anyway, here are a few things I’ve been meaning to share:
– This past week I mentioned Deeper Still – Birmingham to two different friends, and neither of them had the faintest idea what I was talking about. But when I explained what it was, they were understandably delighted. So I thought that there might be some other folks in this neck of the woods who might also be delighted to know what’s headed our way in December.
Deeper Still is a two-day women’s event with Kay Arthur, Beth Moore and Priscilla Shirer. Travis Cottrell leads worship. And there’s going to be a Deeper Still here in Birmingham on December 3rd and 4th at the BJCC. I for one cannot wait. If you’re interested in attending, here’s all the info.
And if you’ve never been to a women’s event like DS because you think it would be too overwhelming or you haven’t been to church in eight years or you have a lot of questions about your faith or whatever, BE YE NOT CONCERNED. I think you’ll feel right at home.
– There’s a new group of Compassion bloggers heading to Guatemala next week. I can’t speak for them, of course, but I’m pretty sure that they’d treasure your prayers.
– If you’re a Mississippi State fan, remember: Respect The Bell and Ring Responsibly. :-)
– I’m going to be cooking up a storm tonight, and while I’m cooking, I’ll be watching this webcam. OBSESSIVE MUCH?
All righty. That is all. Except that I’m trying a new corn dip recipe this weekend. I’ll be sure to let you know how it goes.
HAPPY FOOTBALL, EVERYBODY!
Hail dear ‘ole State!! Excitement is in the air at MSU today! Everyone is decked out in Maroon and White, and we are all watching The Junction’s webcam (even though we could just walk to The Junction).
Go Dawgs!!
Happy Football to you too! I am going to enjoy the only game Tennessee is likely to win this season!
Deeper Still sounds so awesome. If I wouldn’t have to go all by myself all the way from CA, I would totally come!
I saw the 3 of them in Nashville about 2 years ago and it was wonderful. Kay Arthur is AMAZING. Wait – what God has done THROUGH Kay Arthur is amazing!
One of the PT’s I work with got his undergrad degree from State and he is crazy about it too. He is so excited football season is here. I am not a sports fan at all. lol :)
Happy Football to you!!! They put our game on PPV and I am ordering against my better judgement but PPV on game 1 is just wrong. :) I am making a cheese dip for tomorrow and cajun bean soup(78 degrees tomorrow…hello! ) cornbread, pumpkin cobbler (better than it sounds and has tons of butter in it) brownies cooked in a Power T in honor of my VOLS!
I will be rooting for your team. :))
Oh, hun. I know you love your team and that’s goodness, but seriously! A conference that bans or limits cowbells? That’s just wrong. You might want to think about a team where all 400 members of the band are ISSUED cowbells and the fans are ENCOURAGED to ring ’em if you got ’em.
Oh- don’t you just love SEC football! And it’s 62 degrees at my house! It just puts a little skip in your step doesn’t it?!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! So excited to see my Auburn Tigers play tonight!
Early fall in the Ham, heaven on earth! Great weather here in Jxn, too.
War Eagle and Go State! We meet up next Thursday, should be a good one!
I have been waiting in suspense to see what your Kick-off Football Weekend Menu will consist of! Please share, and don’t be shy with the details or regarding how much cream cheese was harmed in the making of your dishes :) Have a happily wonderfully tasty football weekend!!
HEY!! Let me know about that corn dip! If it has any mayonaise or cream cheese in it…..I’M ALL OVER IT!!!
Oh, my gracious goodness!! How sweet does it get? Ole Miss losing in OT to a lesser known but now much loved school and our MSU Dawgs busting out with a win!!! Hubby and son were at the game but I was deep in the Delta at a party with no tv. But thanks to my cellular device, I was in touch with the score!! Happy Labor Day and GO DAWGS!!!!
CAN YOU HEAR MY COWBELL RINGING??!!!!!And don’t you just HATE it for Ole Miss???What a great day!
If I had Dave Barry’s phone number I would be lobbying for some written observations on “Respect the Bell”. This is a deep mine of opportunity, but my shovel is broken. Truth to tell? I actually lost it.
Who was the winner of the NationsOutfitters giveaway?
Just curious..

I meant to email you after we drove thru Birmingham, on our way back from NC. The entire time I was thinking, we should stop and say hey to Sophie. Next time, by golly, we will! Alabama was really beautiful.
