from Jillian:

In anticipation of moving sometime in the near future, and in the hopes of simplifying our lives a bit, Josh and I are hoping to get rid of some of our possessions. Prices are negotiable.

Treadmill (Proform) - bought new January 2006 for $450-ish. It's still in top-notch condition, though at the moment it *is* a little dusty (hence the top-notch condition!). Asking $100.

27" TV - Asking $30


VCR - Asking $10

Dresser with mirror - This is old, but in good shape. There are two places where the stain is worn off ( I think I spilled a dab of nail polish remover when I was young), but otherwise, it's lovely. There are 6 main drawers, one small drawer, and two smaller drawers that are kind of 'hidden' behind a door. Asking $100.

Daybed with trundle - this is old, but still fully functional. We have the two original twin mattress that came with it. One goes on the top bed part, and the second goes on the metal trundle part and slides underneath the bed. Asking $100.

Full mattress/boxspring/head- and foot-boards. This was new as of 2002. It's all in excellent shape. The head- and foot-boards are wood and iron. Asking $100.

My 5-piece dining room set. Bought new in January 2007 from Raymore and Flanagan for $1500. Asking $850. (For those of you who haven't seen it, it's huge... both wide and long. It's kind of farmhouse style-made of wide wooden planks and stained an oak color. The chairs are all wooden-no cushions-and the chair back is curved. They're pretty dang comfortable.)

An assortment of DVDs and CDs. Asking $5/DVD and $3/CD and $10/DVD season of tv shows. I'll attach a list of our DVDs to this email. I'm in the midst of compiling a CD list... if you would like to look through them, you're more than welcome to. I'll forward the list along asap.

If you know of anyone who is just starting out or anyone who might be interested in these items, please forward this post on to them.

Thanks a bunch!

Love,
Jillian, Josh, and Jude

Pentecost Project - Going Public

This is something I've been chewing on for a bit; with the help of a few friends, it looks like it's coming to fruition.

Hope on over to http://pentecostproject.wordpress.com. Join the Facebook group. Consider how you or your church community might join in.

And let me know what you think.

Get Up, Stand Up

Our boy is getting big - and fast.

More photos (from our snowy adventure to get hot chocolate and chocolate chip cookie ingredients, as well as from recent random photo shoots around the house...oh, and the trip to the Pumpkin Patch back in late October) are up on Flickr.

One Action at a Time

Doing some housekeep re:e-mail this evening, and found this sitting in my Inbox with a Star. Helpful words at any time, especially one when I'm feeling overwhelmed:

People say, "What good can one person do? What is the sense of our small effort?" They cannot see that we must lay one brick at a time. We can be responsible only for the one action of the present moment. But we can beg for an increase of love in our hearts that will vitalize and transform all our individual actions, and know that God will take them and multiply them, as Jesus multiplied the loaves and the fishes.

- Dorothy Day, from Loaves and Fishes (via a Sojourners Verse & Voice e-mail, Sept. 4, 2007)
