  • God answers prayer. I've got so many examples of it. One week I was even keeping a list of things I asked for, and the way God answered them. Sometimes if we don't write them down, we don't notice when we get an answer. …

  • Brandon, Justin and Michael went to the outdoor gun range tonight. They took a bunch of guns, including Brandon's "Mforgery" (a semi-automatic version of the military M4). Steve said it looked like they were taking over …

  • We just got a call at 9:30 tonight telling us that one of our church members died today. Her name was Tommie Tankersley. She and her husband Jack celebrated their 60th anniversary late last year. A party had been planned…

  • It's Thursday and I have nothing interesting to say. We have been rolling the money from VBS. In case it isn't clear, we have a contest every year to see who brings more money - boys or girls. The weight, not the amount,…

  • If anybody wants to see anger stirred up by a post on abortion, go to Page's blog: http://www.xanga.com/item.aspx?user=ultimatellama&tab=weblogs&uid=304812674&nextdate=last I'll warn you now, there is obje…

  • I forgot to post pictures of Beth's finished tree wall, with the kids' handprints for leaves. There's also a lion named Bob, a monkey named Dave, and a giraffe named Geoffrey. The bulletin board has zebra stripes, and pi…

  • Well, Steve is gone for the second part of his sleep study. When he sleeps on his side, he wakes 35 times an hour and 50 times an hour on his back. So guess which way he sleeps most often? Mmm hmmm..... Tonight he is u…

  • We survived another year of VBS. We are all pretty battle weary, and possibly suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, but we'll make it. We had pretty good children in our classes this year. Some a little hyper,…

  • More VBS pics. The first is Bethany's Pre-K class. The 2 girls Beth is hugging are Candice and Jordan McMillin, 2 girls that I had been keeping since they were babies. They grew up in our VBS, and are now 13 and 11. For …

  • Hmm....did you know that the Chinese were not the original settlers of Taiwan? I got curious about Taiwan, because of a little boy in Vacation Bible School who was born there. Taiwan was inhabited by the same people who …

  • Three days down and two to go. Then Friday night is Family night. After it's over, all the workers will get together for sandwiches and possibly a game of volleyball. At least the ones that aren't too worn out will play …

  • Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Ethaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnn............ Happy birthday to you!

  • Some of the outer rain bands of Hurricane Emily are moving on shore in our area, much of which is already flooded. But at least it waited until VBS was over today to start raining.

  • Well, we are leaving for the first day of Vacation Bible School.

  • I finally got all the craft stuff together for VBS, and a couple of crafts made up for examples. I'm starting to breathe a little easier. But I still have to learn the sign language to one song to teach it in the music c…

  • With all the rain we are getting (it's trying to make up for no rain in June), we will soon be hunting for gopher wood to build an ark. We will be able to swim in our back yard without even getting in the pool This is …

  • Moses

    I stole this from Justin, but I thought it was hilarious.

  • Ps 37:44 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart . NIV God wants to give us good things - things that we long for, things that will make us happy. If your child wants a particular gif…

  • EDIT: 7:18 P.M. This post has been edited since I first posted it this afternoon. If you read it then, a lot has been added. One meaning of the word submit is to yield to the authority of another. Being in submission is…

  • While I was out shopping, I was listening to KSBJ radio, our local Christian radio station. Dr. Tony Evans came on, and I always turn up the radio to listen to him. He's always got good stuff to say. To read about him, c…

  • I was leaving HEB (grocery store) a little earlier, when I noticed a LifeFlight helicopter circling CVS (where Beth works) across the street. Then an ambulance left CVS. Being the inquisitive person that I am, and realiz…

  • Rachael and I just vacuumed one of our cats. Hurricane Dennis went ashore at Navarre Beach, about 15 miles east of Pensacola, Florida. In 1994 and 1995, we vacationed on Fort Walton Beach a little east of there. I love…

  • I finally got all the flyers done a few minutes ago. I had to type in 862 extra addresses on the mailing labels because some accidentally got deleted, but we have a total of 1512 VBS flyers to mail out in the morning and…

  • I just got through typing addresses for mailing labels to put on flyers for Vacation Bible School. We keep the list on file in the computer, but tonight I had to add about 350 new addresses to it. I don't ever want to se…

  • Sarah, stay out of the big cities. We are hearing about the terrorist attack in London on Fox News. I didn't tell the truth in the last post. I'm not done thinking for this week I was thinking about another way peop…

  • OK, third post of the day. Just had to say PRAISE GOD IT IS RAINING!! We have not had any real rain in over a month. Large trees are dying. The grass at church tonight was brown and it crunches when you walk on it (Mark …

  • DNA

    OK, I am in a thinking mood today, even with a migraine. Have you ever wondered why some people dislike, and cannot get along with, people of (what we call) other races? Why is that? It's something that I think about a…

  • I was just watching a squirrel run across the back fence. I hope he realizes there are big dogs out there, just waiting for a chance to catch him. I'm sure it's the male, because he doesn't seem to have a clue There was…

  • One of the advantages of having cats in the house is that we don't have too many foreign critters that go uncaught. I just discovered another disadvantage, though (there are many). I just stepped barefoot on a dead lizar…

  • We have been working in the backyard today. Brandon and I were digging holes, and he started singing. I was hot and tired, and the song was so stupid that I couldn't quit laughing. Tears were rolling down my face. Someth…

  • I think we might have found a boyfriend for Beth. He's a good boy from a Christian family. He's active in the church and has musical talent (he's our pianist). We discussed it with his father this morning at church. And …

  • We are putting the final touches on the special patriotic program at church. There have been some changes this year that I don't like (one of the singers who has been in it for the last 2 years will not be in it this yea…
