Guess what?
It’s almost time for this:
(In case I forgot to mention it.)
It’s really not my intention to hijack the blog for the rest of sweet forever to talk about The Book so this post is going to be chock full o’ information and then I’m shutting up about it forever.
Or at least until the next time I bring it up.
Let’s go at this in list format:
1. Firstly, how about I give away five copies?!
You don’t have to be a ministry wife to win. In fact, my hope is that Cute Shoes is a church relationship building resource for laypeople, too. Or you can give it to your pastor’s wife as a token of your affection.
To enter, simply answer this question in the comments:
Are you typically on time for church or not? (I plead the 5th.)
You can also add up to two additional entries by Tweeting/Facebooking and/or adding a button to your blog as a link to this giveaway. The button code is in my right sidebar.
I’ll randomly choose the winners on Friday, January 22. There will also be other giveaways taking place at other blogs during the month of February. I’ll make sure you are aware of which ones.
2. Don’t forget to enter your PW in the ‘You Deserve to Pamper Yourself’ Contest. Great prizes and she can be entered more than once as long as it is by different people. Go to www.lifeway.com/cuteshoes for more info and to enter! (You can also read the first chapter on the Lifeway page.) Deadline is February 28th.
3. You are cordially invited to a real live book signing at Lifeway Christian Store at Hamilton Place Mall in Chattanooga, TN on February 20th, 11 AM – 1 PM EST. Truly, I kind of feel like a goober doing this but my hopes are that I may get to meet some of you girls who live in the area! And if y’all don’t come, there’s always my mother. (Mom? Helloooo, Mom? You are coming aren’t you?)
Okay, enough blabbering. Enter away!

Thanks for writing, just from what I have read so far, we have alot in common!!! God Bless!
Robin Willis´s last blog ..
Yes, I’m on time for Church…I am the Pastor’s wife. When I’m not, I hear about it…..good naturedly, of course:)
I’m usually on time, and I work really really hard to be! :)
Rachel Boldman´s last blog ..Oh well.
I am most always early for church. I help out in the kitchen so my goal is to be there atleast 30minutes before first service, if not earlier. Looking forward to reading your book!
wow! how exciting!!!!! I wish I was off on Saturday, I would sooo be there…guess I’ll have to get you to sign my book at church! ha
So proud of you and blessed to have you as our own preacher’s wife!
Love ya!
Oh and Im never on time to Sunday school but now that I teach at least im early for church haha…btw.. you don’t have to put me in the drawing…ive already ordered mine! haha
I’m always a fashionable 5 minutes late. And yes, I do live in the parsonage. And yes, it is right next to the church. What? I don’t get credit for the time it takes me to walk in the cute shoes!?! :)
I am so excited about your book!
Amber Benge´s last blog ..Over the Top
I’m never on time for church. Never. Ever. Just sayin.
And you rock. For real.
Robyn (3girlsmom)´s last blog ..Haiti.
most of the time i am there 15 minutes early! some days it is only 5 minutes early. so the answer would be yes!
tzigane´s last blog ..Putting Our Best Face(s) Forward!
I am on time for church, if I don’t “check in” with our greeter (an older gentleman) before Sunday School he gives me a hard time about being “late”. I’ve been reading the first chapter of your book and I’m loving it. My husband will be ordained as associate pastor the end of January, so this book is coming at the perfect time. I love reading your blog.
God bless!
Jennifer
Brian and I are usually on time for church since all the kids started driving on their own (they’re usually late and they fill up the parking lot) unless we have a ‘feed’ afterward. That completely messes up my Sunday morning schedule and the food usually doesn’t turn out that great either.
PS. Goober is a great word.
i added your button to my blog!
tzigane´s last blog ..Putting Our Best Face(s) Forward!
Count me in… and, yes, always on time for church. Even early. Congrats on the book release. I know that many will be blessed by your transparent heart and superb writing, Lisa.

I have a 3 year old…what do you think??? We try to go to the 9:30 but make it to the 11!
i tweeted and facebooked!

tzigane´s last blog ..Putting Our Best Face(s) Forward!
Does it count that in my heart I desire to be early? Unfortuately, never happens! I too, live next door…… in the parsonage and yet I am consistantly late for Sunday School. We jokingly call our class the “Latecomers” – because none of us seem to be timely =) At least we have found a bond in one another LOL!
I do not being late. I have to play occasionally so I can’t be late.
Unfortunately, I’m usually late – but it’s late to my own “time”. I always make myself think I need to be somewhere 15 minutes earlier so that I will fool myself on being on time. And even though I know I’m fooling myself – somehow, it usually works! :-)
I’m so happy for you, Lisa!!! I’ll put your button on my side bar. :-)
Jennifer
Usually early. :) I just hate being late. And, my husband is one of the pastors, so he kind of likes us to be on time. ;)
Wish I lived closer…would love to meet you in person. :) But, looking forward to reading your book!!
Veronica @ A Quiet Heart´s last blog ..One Thousand Gifts: 16-30
OOPS – When I grabbed the code for the button, on my blog it said something like Photo Bucket no longer had the image? Maybe I’m doing something wrong… I’ll try again, but wanted you to be aware????
jennifer
Girl, you know I’m never on-time for ANYTHING! You are my favorite preacher’s wife, so I don’t guess I can enter you in the contest, huh? Ok, I wanna go to your booksigning, can I be the first in your official celebrity entourage? I’ll keep fresh Sharpies & Starbucks comin your way!
Karri´s last blog ..My sweet baby boy is turning 6! Through the years with Cohen
My husband gets us to church early but if it was left up me I would be late. Last Sunday we were there 1 hour 45 minutes early. We started a church June ‘09 and so I usually get kicked out of bed about 6:30am and sometimes I have to brush my teeth when I get to church.
I’m looking forward to reading the book. This book is coming out just in time with me being new to being a senior pastor’s wife.
Thank you.
Christie
for the most part, I am on time. now, don’t ask my husband. :)
I tweeted the giveaway! :)

Jenilee´s last blog ..Mystery
Well, I get to the building early with my husband, but being on time to Sunday school and service is another thing. Usually I get tied up visiting with people and showing our adorable daughter off. So I guess it’s a yes and no for me. :)
Dana Schmoyer´s last blog ..BONK!
We arrive on time for church (amazingly)! I am going to post a link to this on Facebook, if I can figure out how.
Yes I’m always on time and usually 15-30 minutes early. We drive to church together and since my PH needs to be there early, I am too. I’ll admit this is a lot harder than it used to be, since we have a 3-month old. And it usually means I have to be up by 5:30 AM to get everything ready on time. Hopefully that’ll shorten over time!
Sarah´s last blog ..most embarassing PW moments…
If I’m having a good hair day–we are on time! :) Love you Lisa and praying for you!!
Becky´s last blog ..Oh Deer!
This is a loaded question…depends on if I’m with my husband, with my kids, how many kids, if I’m on mic for worship, if I’m in the choir, if I’m taking the Sunday off to attend…mostly yes, I think. Mostly.
Andrea´s last blog ..How We Pack for a Trip
I am very anal about punctuality and this is really bad because my dear husband, the Pastor is not and we are never on time for church. It’s not like we are really late like forty minutes or so but more like ten or fifteen. It still bugs me. I prep the night before. Press my clothes and lay them out. I am prepped down to my slip, nylons and shoes. I set the coffee maker to brew in the morning and breakfast is on the table and hubby is on the computer doing some last minute editing for the sermon. IHe hasn’t even showered yet? I”m running around like a chicken without a head and he is taking his time. Hehe. I love him so much . I might add that we live five miles away from the church and have to go through a major highway that is usually filled heavily with traffic.
Pastora Dee´s last blog ..I Love You Lord…
Sometimes I arrive at church as if a tornado just blew me in and dropped me, the baby, and diaper bag in the middle of foyer. I straighten my windswept hair as I rush into the auditorium. I get there, but just barely!
PS–my blog link didn’t work. Just for kicks, here it is:

Not on time.. it’s something I’m trying to work on though… because it’s totally my fault!
Crystal´s last blog ..I’m over it.
On time…I mean RIGHT on time. If it starts at 9:00 then I am screeching into the parking lot and running in at 9:00!
Congrats, again, on the new book!
Jeanette´s last blog ..The One Day Way Review & Giveaway
I’m always late even though we live right next door. I have a good reason though with 3 little ones (5, 3, and 6 months)!!!
Jennifer´s last blog ..My Girls…3 years apart…
Early if i don’t have to haul the babies… if i haul the babies well then i’m fashionably late :) I say fashionably because we all walk in as the holy family barley put together. lol.
I blogged about it and put it in my side bar too!
Rachael´s last blog ..Preachers Wife.
I am usually on time for church…very rarely are we late. But in my opionion…better late than never!!!
I am typically on time if not early. I do the 2 and 3 sunday school so i need a little prep time for snacks and coloring pages.
Vernie Slaton´s last blog ..I’m not a profound thinker but….
I tweeted/FB, but you can take me out of the drawing. I will more than likely buy the book by the end of the week. Thank you for all you do!
Dana Schmoyer´s last blog ..BONK!
Yes I’m sorta on time, we drive in the parking lot a few minutes early, but my class is the last one down the hallway and I sometimes get distracted to the time by saying hello to everyone between the door and my room. Loved reading your first chapter and love your blog!! Can’t wait to get my copy!
I am an associate pastor’s wife and I teach a Sunday School class of Senior adult women. I am getting to Sunday School by the skin of my teeth on time after dropping off the baby in the nursery and getting my four year old dropped off in his class. The 12 year old fends for herself!
Hope I win!!! I want to read this book so bad!!!!
Such fun!! But I guess I should be good and not enter since I’ll get to review it. But the one from you would be autographed!
Just blogged about the book and put your button in the sidebar of my blog!
Jennifer´s last blog ..You Can Still Wear Cute Shoes and other advice from an unlikely pastor’s wife
Late, but I just tell myself they started early. Makes me feel better;) Denial – maybe?:o)

Looking forward to reading the book! Yes, we are usually on time for church.
Patty´s last blog ..a birthday boy
Of course we are on time for church….or not.
Josh, where are your shoes? “Sorry Mum, I forgot.”
Hannah, you havent even brushed your hair.
We’ll be late for Sunday School, we’ve already missed prayer.
Clean your teeth and no more eating the toothpaste.
Come on, in the car, we have to make haste.
Never mind breakfast, you’ll be right for today.
All this and we only live 2 minutes away!
Donna´s last blog ..Apply Daily
I’m on time…most of the time! Definitely the 11 service, of course I’m trying to make it to the 9:15 service, so you know…
Just added the big day to my calendar…even though it’s not Christmas, I’ll be there with Bells on… ;)
I also set this post as my status on fb.
Patty´s last blog ..a birthday boy
OK, do you mean on time as being what time the bulletin says SS starts? Or what time my class actually starts. The older people’s classes start ON TIME, but the younger people, we just start when we all get there. I’m always on time for the younger people class!
Wish I was closer to the book signing! I would stand in the back, smile big and clap my hands. I’m so proud of you and what you have accomplished. I know PW’s (Pioneer women? Nah,!) all over are going to love this book and feel refreshed after reading it!
Julie´s last blog ..I love TV
I usually arrive in the parking lot on time or early, but I’m never “In” service on time because I just love visiting with people who are either coming or going from the other services. :)
I want to read through your book with all of our staff wives; I know it will make for some great discussion during our staff wives get-togethers. I’m looking forward to it.
Gena Larson´s last blog ..Winter Formal
Always on time for Church because I’m the pastors wife and I ride with my hubby. Also I lead pre-service prayer.
Hoping to get a copy of your book. :)
Donna
Hi again! I just added the button on my blog!

We’re usually early or on time…bribing with a trip to the donut shop helps get the kids (and mom) motivated. :)
Looking forward to your book!

Added the button to my blog! Thanks for the extra entries…will FB about it tomorrow
Cora´s last blog ..Lack of Commitment
It depends on what you consider “on time”. We are always there before Sunday School starts, but usually later than when we want to be there. Can’t wait for the book!
Tanya´s last blog ..Happy New Year?
Ummm…I plead the 5th on this one too! Glad to see there are so many more of you!
We are usually on time for church.
I so wish the UK was nearer TN! I’d love to come and meet and have my book signed. Except there is an ocean in the way. And Amazon-UK isn’t getting the book until Mar 1 which would be too late. Otherwise, I’d totally be there!
(and if by some odd force of nature I were to actually win these books, they would go to my stepmom, and stepsisters sine they actually live in the US and my book is already covered)
So proud of you sweetie to get the book this far!
Miriam Pauline´s last blog ..In Other Words–Happenstance or God Ordained?
I wake up every Sunday morning planning on being on time; wanting to be on time. Somehow, I always seem to miss Sunday school and dash in for Worship. Why is that????
I will be tweeting, facebooking AND blogging about this giveaway as soon as I hit Submit Comment…
Hugs.

No, BUT… I have 5 kids under the age of 7… so between getting myself and them ready….Yeh! You get the picture…. wanna know the worst part?!!?
We only leave 2 minutes (LITERALLY) from the church…. OUCH! I’m horrible!
(I blame my genes! My family is always late for everything…. even their own funerals! LOL!)

SuperMom´s last blog ..The Choice by Suzanne Woods Fisher
Yep! Despite having eight or more children to get ready we’re on-time. Although on many a morning, after getting settled in our pew and looking over my children and their friends, I wonder how I could have missed the powder sugar mustache on the one and the rooster tail on the other, but no one seems to mind. :)
i confess, i usually am late for church
I always start out being on time. …..does that count for anything?
Tweeted and Facebooked about your giveaway. Now on to blogging about it. Keep up the God work, Lisa.
Lori
Sunday mornings…always on time (volunteer in ministry so I HAVE to be!).
Every other time during the week…weeeelllll….not so much! However we still usually beat at least 50% of the people there! LOL! :)
For me it depends on what last minute catastrophes occur. If there are no last minute stinky diapers, juice spills or escaping dogs, I am usually on time. :)
CANNOT WAIT TO READ YOUR BOOK!!!
Yes, I am in time for church. I am the childrens Pastor adult daughter, and since I am the only sibling still living in the the area there are alot of expectations put on me. I don’t mind though. being a middle child, I enjoy the attention I get now that my sisters don’t live in the same state. (heehee)
We’re usually early…but we are both on staff!! I can’t wait to read the book!
Usually on time for church, since I sing in the choir and have to be there early, but I confess that I would not be on time if it were not for that! (Also, I love your book & blog since I was preacher’s wife for 9 years! Long story!! Wish you’d written it sooner!!!!)
I put your button on my blog:)
I tweeted with a link :)
Depends how quickly we all get ready and how many layers of outerwear we have to put on! Usually right on time, or a few seconds late!
Ummmm, if it weren’t for the contest part, I would plead the 5th as well, I’m always late for Sunday School, hubby and I drive seperate to church. But at least I’m on time for worship! ;)
I am usually on time. Most of us have to be at church an hour before SS for worship practice. ( No I am not on the worship team, trust me they don’t want this PW up front singing with a mic.)
I wish I lived closer I would go to your book signing. Congratulation
What exactly do you mean by “on time”?
Does ontime mean like before Bro. Luke actually starts, or before the choir, or before Sunday School lets out, or do you mean Sunday School??? LOLOL, I’m always late, it just comes naturally! :) Can’t wait to read “The Book”!!
Yes, I’m always on time for church, no so much for Sunday school but church yes. Can’t wait to read your book.
Hmmm. My older kids are on time for Sunday achool . . . my youngest daughter might be most of the time . . . but by the time I finally get them all in their classes, I’m usually late! My husband is one of the pastors at our church, so I do solo duty getting everyone ready. We (all) make it on time about 50% of the time!
Yet another pastor’s wife, but one that unfortunately has a 40 minute commute to church. I made a deal with myself that I can stop for a latte if I leave the house by a certain time. I am usually late anyway. I gave up after I realized that no matter how on time I was, someone would stop me in the hallway for something and I came in late to church anyway. Hubs gave me a hard time about it until he finally had to do a Sunday morning on his own (which I do every week, since he leaves before we are up). Well, not even really on his own, he had his mother staying with him to help. They were late! Surprise! It’s hard to have everything ready and going smoothly when we are traveling so far and packing meals and changes of clothes and things for the kids to do during meetings….
I was never on time for church…until I got married. Now I am always on time or I get the “look”…ha!
Yes, I am always on time to church (with a 2 and 3 year old in tow). My husband (a pastor) considers 5 minutes early to be on time. Over the years, he has ingrained that into me! We actually drive separate to church, but I still dare not be late :). He actually will call when church is about to start (which is actually 5 minutes til). I apologize if I make him sound harsh….he totally is amazing and very laid back….the on-time thing is just his thing. And I felt like i needed to justify how I get to church on time :)
Because of situations outside of my control… yes, I am always early for church. :)
I hope to read this book one day! So fun!
Janet
I put your button on my blog!
Thank you!
Janet
Hi
I am not a preacher’s wife, but I could be. My husband is a sweet man of God, which I am grateful for. We are always early for for church,
I love,love,love your blog. And your sense of humor! I can’t wait to read your book.
Any chance of a book signing in Wisconsin?
Take Care & God Bless,
Peggy
I think going to church is the EASIEST habit in the world to break…that being said, we are mostly on time …..even though, sometimes, it’s hard tro get up and go!
I am an on time person, and I think that is due to being a musician- we were always told (and I told those under my baton) that if you’re early, you’re on time, and if you’re on time, you’re late! :)
I am always on time for church. Then again, I dont have kids either haha
We are generally on time, but generally just barely on time! :)
I am rarely on time. Although I’m on the praise team, and we start practicing at 9:15… I’m usually there by 9:25. Which TECHNICALLY means I’m on time for church, since it begins at 10:10.
We are on time people! Actually, I like to get there 5-10 min. early so I can get seated and read the bulletin. I am not a pw though but would love to read the book and then pass it on to one of the pw I know.
We used to be early. We lived about 12 minutes from church and left a half hour before it started. Now we live 25 minutes from church and still leave a half hour before it starts. So, I’d say we’re neither late nor early–we’re usually walking in JUST IN TIME! Actually, by the time we drop the 2 boys off in the nursery and fill all the hubba-jubba paperwork about diapers/snacks,etc. we’re more prone to be a little late than on time. . . actually.
I’m always on time…usually early. I have this issue with being late, I get all worked up about not getting there on time. Singing on the Praise and Worship team helps with being on time too…since we have practice before church on Sunday and we are the ones starting church on time!
I am a youth minister’s wife who in the last few months started reading your blog. Right now the kids and I are always on time…but it helps that we live 5 feet away from the church. :)
I’m the Sunday School Superintendent at my local church so I have to be there to open service. Now, I’d LIKE to be there 20 minutes early so we can fellowship and get everything set up for service. Yet somehow we always seem to be running late.. Most of the time we’re pulling up at 3 minutes till. Talk about making it by the skin of our teeth!
In our defense.. we’re trying to leave the house by 9:30 so we can get there by 9:45. We figure if we go ahead and get in the habit now, maybe we’ll actually keep it up after the baby is born. Though, if I remember anything from growing up it’s that plan to leave at 9:00, really leave by 9:30… so maybe we’d better adjust that time a bit.
Actually my husband likes to be EARLY for church……even with 2 kids 2 and under…..crazy, I know! :) Thanks for the opportunity and blessings to you!!
are you kidding me! I am pushing the kids out the door at about the time SS starts just to make it in time to push them into their class and me run upstairs to the youth dept! (my 5 yr. old girl has a meltdown most every Sunday and I tend to oversleep which makes for an ugly combination!) LOL
Always on time for church…because we all take one car and my youth pastor husband has to be there early! Can’t wait to read your book!
I used to be on time to church. That was before we adopted the Twin Men from China…. now I seem to be late for everything! Help! Can’t wait to read your book!
I am always on time because I ride with the “Reverend,” and he will sling a rod if I’m late, and I do not want that burden on my hands on a Sunday morning. There is enough warfare without ME adding to the fray – truly.
Love you Lisa – so proud of YOU!!!
Your fellow PW,
Jan
Even when I think I will be on time I end up late! I totally had a cute shoes experience! I am SO looking forward to your book!
In the love of Christ,
Christi
Hi Lisa :)
Congrats on your new book release!! I cannot wait to either win it ;) or purchase it. I am so, so happy for you :)
I am usually on time for church.
P.S. I have your button on my blog :)
For church, at least, early! Our services get so crowded & I really am bugged if all the good positions are taken!
We have to drive one hour to church – yes, my husband is the preacher – and we’ve been late 3 or 4 times due mostly to weather conditions on the highways. That’s not too bad! Can’t wait to read your book! And even if i don’t win — i’ll still keep praying for you! How’s that? :)
I’m always on time, cause hubby will leave me home if I’m not ready hahahaha
Doesn’t really matter if I’m on time or not since we’re missionaries in S. America. lol NOTHING ever starts on time here!
I’m always late. On the rare occurrence I make it to the parking lot on time- I am distracted by chatting with friends, and arrive at my small group – yep, late.
I added your button to my blog! That means at least 3 people will see it. :)
Do I have to? No, we are usually not on time for church and it is my fault and not the grandchildrens!
I am generally on time for church, early when I have to sing during worship. There are Sunday’s however that I leave my children sleeping in their beds, especially when I attend the 8:15 service.
:0)
We are rarely ever late for church. I’m kinda big on the punctuality thing! :)
I can tell you that I read the intro and first chapter to your book and I love it! Our pastor’s wife is my closest friend and I love her so much! As close as we are, I don’t know that half of it when it comes to what all she deals with in the ministry. I find joy in doing all I can to be a help to her. Our church has truly been blessed!
I am usually on time for church my husband likes to be there early usually 2 hours early.
Girl, I am glad you are talking about your book! I already pre-ordered through Amazon but would love to win one to give to my pastor’s wife. :)
I just discovered you! My husband is on staff at our church. We are never on time. We live four houses down the street. I think that if we lived IN the sanctuary, we MIGHT be on time. But…probably not.
Almost always :)
I would love a copy of this book! Can’t wait to read it!
Sadly, I am often late or just on time, even though I live right next door! I am also the pastor’s wife. Ironically, I am the first one up on Sunday morning! Looking forward to reading your book!
I’m entering for myself! I am always on time for church but usually a bit late for music practice that occurs before church! ;)
We go in the same car. We’re on time, but not as early as my husband would like. HA!
So excited about the book! I did do a FB post about the Lifeway giveaway.
We are always early for Sunday school and church don’t remember a time we were late.I am a person that is always early for everything. Can’t wait to read your book.
I am usually way early. I’m not a pastors wife, although my husband is a minister. But I am a pastors daughter. So I totally know what living in the home of a pastor is like and I am like my father in the fact that I hate being late so I always end up being early.

Girl,
When I attend by myself, which is often. I am early and I like to sit in the front. When I attend with my unbelieving spouse we are most often a tad late and sit over on the side. I try to keep my hands down while singing praises so not to completely make my spouse uncomfortable. I love church and I sure hope I win a copy of your book. I can’t wait to read it. Hugs.
Lynn´s last blog ..Thankful Thursday – A Ratty Mess!
I’m going to be totally transparent here: I don’t really like being on time. I like coming in after the “action” has begun. Saying that, let me say this: if I am commited to a ministry, and someone is counting one me, then I’m on time. Right now I am the “coffee/donut” ministry, (yeah, that’s right, they count on me for the heavy spiritual stuff), so I’m actually very early. Man, I really would not like to have this confession psychoanalyzed. I’m afraid of what it says about me, like maybe I like to make an entrance! Buy hey, you do encourage us to be transparent, right? And I, too, have already ordered a book, but I want to give one to my daughter who is a senior pastor’s wife.
I have your button on my blog :)

We are sometimes not what I would call late but more like “skidding in on two wheels.” Not always a good thing since my hubby is the pastor but we do live 45 minutes from the church (which has it’s perks) so with 2 teenage daughters it’s a miracle we get there even right on time!
Can’t wait to come see you at the Chattanooga Lifeway, friend!
Hi Lisa~ Here is my official entry: I placed the code on my blog.

Angela´s last blog ..Parker’s Funny…
I’m a bit of nerd & am usually early for church, but I’m trying to work on it!
My girls and I are usually late for church! My husband is college minister and has to leave before we do to get ready for his group.
This is only our second year in paid ministry, so I could really use this book!
April´s last blog ..Bruised, But Not Broken
My man is associate pastor — youth/kids/education. We are “on time” for SS. The bulletin says it starts at 9:45 but really they don’t start til 10 and we are ALWAYS there by 10. :] Does that count as being on time? I’m just askin. Love you Lisa…and your blog! Such a blessing to me!!!
I have 3 kids and live 45 minutes from Church. What do you think?? ;)
Came over from Big Mama’s.
May God bless you and your family.
I am a Pastor’s wife so I try to be a good example and be on time for church. Lisa, thanks for the chance to win this book. I can’t wait to read it!
I’m usually on time, but it is easier now that our kids are older and can find their own shoes, etc. :)
I checked my comment and it IS here and also I’m submitting another comment to tell you that I facebooked it and blogged it and I’m pretty sure I tweeted it, too!

Crystal´s last blog ..I’m over it.
Yes, I’m usually on time for church but only because our children have their Youth Choir practice 45mins before the service starts! I tend to drip them off in the hall then go through to dh’s office and take the chance to read something or chat to other mums!

Hi
I am not a preachers wife, but I could be. I am blessed to be married to a godly man and we are always EARLY for church! I love,love,love your blog and I cant wait for your book to come out. Any chance of a book signing in Wisconsin?
Take Care & God Bless,
Peggy
Before I became a mommy, I was always early. Now, I must admit, I’m wiping poop/pee/puke off of me as we squeel tires turning into the parking lot. Ah, the joys of motherhood! :)
I have figured out that different churches have different ideas of what on time is.
We used to be early but now that we are going to a church that starts a half hour early we are usually a tiny bit late. Your book looks absolutely delightful, congratulations!
I usually get there just on time, with no minutes to spare!
I’m usually on time. There are often very few people there at the start of the first service, so for the sake of any visitors and also for the worship team opening the service, we try to be in the sanctuary by starting time or a little before.
Always on time for Sunday night b/c I’m there early for choir practice; always on time Wednesday night b/c I play the organ; Sunday mornings . . . usually running late. It seems that no matter what I do, something always hinders us from being there early!
I can get your book on my Kindle!!!!! I can’t tell you how excited that make me!!!
Julie´s last blog ..
I am a youth pastor’s wife. We have 4 boys and Larry has to be at the church at about 7:30am. So, it’s just me getting the little men ready (and my trying to manage my mane!)
All that to say that I am usually within 3 minutes of being ‘on time’. However, I am never early!
Colleen Daigle´s last blog ..To Caleb – On Your First Birthday
yes i’m on time… i’d like to dream that if i wasn’t a pastor’s wife, i could stroll in leisurely and late! but i’d probably show up on time anyway…..
i tweeted this :)
I will come and be your personal assistant… what do you think?
Mary Beth´s last blog ..Conversation With My 7 year old Niece
I am an early bird. I am almost always the first in my seat on Sunday. Can’t wait for the book.
I lead the praise team, so we have to be at church early to practice before Sunday School (7:45). I usually arrive around 7:59. *grins* BUT… technically… I am on time for Sunday School and worship! :)
Heather C´s last blog ..Buckle Up!
Oh golly…my pastor husband has a meeting at 9 on Sundays, so if we want to ride as a family, then we have to be ready by 8:30…and we have done that successfully for a year now! Church doesn’t start till 9:30, so yep, I am on time.
