I had this dream that I was cooking baked beans, my alarm clock would ring (in my crazy dream state I thought it was my kitchen timer) I would turn it off, and the whole crazy dream would start over again.  As a result, I woke up 45 minutes later than usual and proceeded to a kitchen that had precious little free counter space for me to make sack lunches and breakfast.<\/p>\n<p>I guess having baked bean dreams and a disaster of a house is a small price to pay for our feast turning out so well.  It was organized chaos, to be sure, since we had almost a hundred extra people turn up, but it was also great.  We were bursting at the seams last night and we couldn&#8217;t have been happier about it.  You know how I said I sincerely hoped that all of the chairs in the gym would be filled?  Well, they were, and then some.  We did not run out of food, YAY!  We also didn&#8217;t run out of sanity, because we had some of the best folks who came from sister churches to help keep the whole thing going.<\/p>\n<p>What a blast!  What a blessing.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, I&#8217;m going to scoot because my laundry pile is truly scary and I&#8217;ve got miles to go still putting this house back together.<\/p>\n<p>I hope y&#8217;all have had a great Monday!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baked Bean Dreams are what I had last night.
