Long Lost and Hopefully Not Forgotten

Sun, 4 Oct 2009 08:44:00 -0500

I thought I would just check in this morning. I haven't posted in a long time. I haven't been feeling good lately but that wasn't an excuse for before. I just really didn't feel like I had anything good to blog about. Good things have happened, I just didn't feel like putting it all down. I don't know how much I will be around but I would like to try to come in and do something. I really spend a lot of time at Facebook now too. It is just so easy. Oh well, we will see what happens.

I am working on it

Is this not just so true of God's love in us? I know that a lot of people will get all mushy on Valentines Day and use this another way but it sure does mean a lot when you think of it in God's light.

I just wanted to let you know that I am working on a big post. It will hopefully be done this afternoon. Just a warning....

Have a blessed day! HUGS!

We just got to sit down together and watch this movie. With Paul being a truck driver, it just didn't work out to go to the movies. I had pre-ordered and paid for it around Christmas. It was in stores on Jan. 27th. We didn't get to go and pick it up till last Saturday. By the time we went and got it and did everything else that goes with going somewhere, it was 11 o'clock when we got home and church was a must the next morning. So, we didn't get to watch it. Well, Paul got to come by the house tonight and he was early enough that I had dinner fixed and the movie was ready. Our sons watched it with us too. Oh my goodness, it was awesome. I loved it. I can so see this happening. I know that my husband and I were at the breaking point like they were at one time. Neither of us ever got the papers but we sure didn't like each other. We did a thing called Marriage Encounter. We also found a few other resources and MOST of all, we let God into the marriage. Up until then, we had been doing it ourselves. THANK GOD, He was still willing to come in. I hope you have all watched this movie. I will be passing it around starting Sunday. I also just ordered the Love Dare from ebay. We are more in love and like now than ever. It just never hurts to do more to make it great.

There are a lot of marriages that are under attack right now. Ones that we know about and some that are under hidden attack. Please stop now and say a prayer for marriages. It is a good thing to have a partner. I just wish we could share the truth about how awesome it is and really get people to listen. Oh wait, we can....we can have a Godly marriage and let people see it. Wow, God thought of everything.

Good Cold Morning to you

I just thought this was a neat graphic. I haven't been out much in a couple of days, so I didn't have any pictures to share. We are supposed to be up toward 60* for the next few days. I might be able to go out in that. It says that the temp has risen to 21* as opposed to the 10* it was when I first turned on the computer. I still feel like their is a chill in the air, even in the house.

We are doing school today and will probably have to go get milk at some point. We will be out in a little while. I am amazed at how pretty it is today. Well, I better get moving.

Have a blessed day. HUGS!

A Game Of Hope

I borrowed this from Bart from Mercy Me and he got it from NBC/Dallas Fort Worth. It is worth the time to watch it. It blessed my heart. If you haven't visited the Mercy Me Blog, you are missing a blessing. Those guys are so real and just wonderful guys. Not to mention their wives and families. If you can, jump over there and visit. Go Here.

Not often you get to see "GOOD" news. Anyone that is a christian has gotten a second chance. I love this video.

Have a blessed day! HUGS!

Trip to the Vet turned field trip

We took Bob to the vet this morning. So, since we were out anyway, we went ahead and looked at all the animals. Thus, the field trip.

Bob got a great check up and he was so good. The vet said he was unlike any Chihuahua he had ever seen. He is the most awesome dog ever. It is like he was just meant for our family. I can't believe it. Paul even asks about him on the phone like he does me, Matt and Pat. Well, now we have to get to work doing some school book work, not to mentions dishes and clothes and all that stuff.

Have a best blessed day!!! HUGS!!!

One winter day in January.........

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

This is the view from our door, right now. How awesome is that? I love snow.

I have good news too. Bart's (Mercy Me singer) daughter Sophie is doing much better. Please continue to pray. She is still in the hospital. You can go here to read the report. That is a great praise for today.

I thought I would throw in a bonus Bob pic.

He is just so "DOG GONE" cute.

Have a blessed day. HUGS!!

The beauty we woke up to this morning

Tue, 27 Jan 2009 16:18:00 -0600

This is pictures from our door this morning. I thought it was beautiful. The good part was that it seemed all the ice was on the trees and not on the roads so much.

and one final pic. This little guy was making lots of noise out there. A few minutes later, there were about 10 of them and a red bird.

Even with the ice, you can't deny the beauty of God. Kentucky is a different kind of place to live. Our weather is wild here. One day last week, we were freezing then the next day, it was in the 60's and now this. You just never know. I have figured out how to tell the weather. Send Bob out:

*if you see his shadow, the sun is shining

*if he gets wet, it is raining

*if his hair starts moving, the wind is blowing

and if he bucks up and won't go outside, then refer back to the pictures above.

We did something odd today. Normally, we do school, even when public school gets snow days. Well, guess what??? We took a snow day today and just bummed around. IT FELT GOOD. I didn't even think twice.

My honey gets to come home and spend the night tonight. That is always an awesome treat. He will be leaving in the morning for Alabama. We need to "tidy" up a ~~bit~~ lot before he gets home. (Remember the above statement about the snow day) Have a best blessed night. HUGS!

Bump: Prayer for a friends baby

Tue, 27 Jan 2009 06:06:00 -0600

Sophie got worse last night and they are moving her to ICU. Please join with me and others to pray. This has to be tearing this mom and dad up. It is horrible when your baby is sick and you can do nothing. GOD can do all things.

Hey friends,

I just wanted to ask all of you to pray for a friends baby. Most of you have heard of Mercy Me. The lead singer, Bart has a very sick baby. Her name is Sophie. They have said pneumonia and RSV. That is not a good thing. So, I am asking you to pray for Sophie, Bart and the rest of the family. This year has had a rough start medically for this family. Shannon (Bart's wife) and Sam (oldest son) have both had medical issues. Thanks for your prayers. If you want to go visit the Mercy Me blog and let them know your thinking of them, you can go here. I know he would be happy to have any and all prayers. This is an awesome group and an awesome group of families.

You are more than welcome to pass this on. Prayer is awesome.
