  • We have so many cats, the only way we can store them is to stack them. You can't see the dog at the bottom wanting to get up there too!
  • Thanks to Susan for the prayer picture. Listen to Dr. Tony Evans again today. He is still talking about marriage. I have added a link to his site o…
  • Bethany had this on her blog, but I knew some of you wouldn't see it. So go here to play puppy curling! It gets addictive. Connie, Ben might like this. Go here to see the martial arts classes of Brandon's teacher, T…

  • Go to Steve's blog to read more sensible stuff from Ben Stein. I'm not much in a posting mood today (believe it or not ), but I wanted to give you a couple of points from Sunday's sermon, with some added thoughts: Rom…
  • I was folding towels and Honey decided to help.
  • I wanted to say thanks to all those who have been praying for Heather and Kaitlyn. Rachael just came home for lunch a little while ago, and said that Heather's dad came by the animal hospital to show them pictures of the…
  • Thought I'd pass on some pictures to people who might like them. This one is for Holly: And this is for Bethany: For those who don't go to Connie's site, here are some I liked that she had. She puts them up to …
  • Beth has been stalking. She got on MySpace and found a bunch of people like former neighbors, and even my nephew. She said his was "interesting". I think I'll stalk, too. I need to see something "interesting". (Oh …

  • This is for Annalissa. Go here for views of the Smoky Mountains from Clingman's Dome, which is the highest point in Smoky Mountain National Park. To me, the Smokies have to be one of the most peaceful places on earth. …
  • Life is never dull around here with all these cats. I'm laughing so hard, I can barely breath. We had some flies in the house we couldn't get rid of, so we hung some of those sticky fly strips to catch them. One was han…
  • My sister sent me this picture this morning.
  • Tomorrow morning I am taking Rachael's friend, Heather, to the doctor. She is the receptionist at the animal hospital where Rachael works, and is supposed to be the matron-of-honor in the wedding. Heather is pregnant an…
  • Read the story on Arlina's blog. It's really good. Not much to say right now. Maybe later. I'm just washing clothes. I have to run to the grocery store when I pick Beth up from work. Fortunately it's right across the…

  • When We Reject God

    I have been thinking about something that I wondered if any of you ever thought about. How do you think God fee…
  • We got our kitties back!! I stopped by the pound when I took Beth to work (it's only about 2 minutes away) and Tigger and Honey were there! Every time we ha…

  • Go to Susan's blog and read about Moms. It's hilarious, but maybe you have to be a mom to really appreciate it! Go to Sarah's blog to see a picture she drew of Bethany many years ago. I still think it's beautiful, a…
  • I got back from shopping at HEB and Walmart about 7:00 and oh, my goodness.....I saw some interesting things while I was out. At HEB there was a little boy, maybe 7 years old, running through the store, yelling and "s…

  • Here is Rachael's bouquet. It is mostly white, to contrast with the dark blue in the others. Since this is a winter wonderland/snowflake theme, the bouquets have tiny clear "ice cubes" in them and the roses in Rachael's …
  • I just heard a good lesson from Dr. Tony Evans. Sometimes people think that when they walk with Jesus, they will no longer have sin in their lives. But "walking in the light" just means that you are able to see your sin…
  • My cousin, Ross, sent pictures from Afghanistan. He is stationed at Bagram Air Base. He is the copilot and gunner on an Apache Helicopter. The Apache is really neat in the way it operates. He wears a helmet which is …
  • I am cleaning today, not by choice, but because I cannot stand it any longer. Since Steve has been tearing out ceiling to replace old, leaky water pipes, I have a fine layer of white sheetrock dust all over everything. …

  • Tuesday night is now my absolute favorite tv night. I've always liked NCIS, but now right after that is The Unit. I love that show! I caught myself gripping the arm of the chair tonight, and got tears in my eyes when a w…
  • A little while ago, I remembered a dream I had 2 nights ago. I dreamed that my cousin, Ross, was in a helicopter crash. He is currently in Afghanistan. I really hope that doesn't mean anything. You know, I just …
  • Time for a Bible Quiz. Who among you knows why God told the Jews to circumcise their boys at the age of 8 days old? Why 8 days? Why not at birth, like is done today?
  • Warning: Very long post. How about a Bible Study? As parents, sometimes we have to deal with children who don't want to follow the rules. It is our job to teach them that they must. Children rarely understand the reason…
  • Brandon got home early this afternoon, and still managed to get in 2 hours of overtime. Not hard, I guess, when you have to start work at 3:00 a.m. He's gone now to enroll in ground school. He's really gonna do this..…
  • Today has been an excellent day! Thank you. You know who you are. Brandon has to leave be at work at 3:00 a.m. They are driving to Waxahachie, just south of Dallas to drop off their crane to have it worked on. Th…

  • I was just wondering.......if a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, but sugar isn't on a low-carb diet.....would a spoonful of Splenda be just as good?? Well, I went and got my nails done today. A new girl w…
  • I'm working on a bridesmaid's bouquet. The first one always takes longer because you have to experiment to get it just like you want it to look. I am trying to whittle down the number of Hobby L…
  • At 2:15 a.m., I got tired of not being able to get comfortable, and of not being able to fall asleep. The rotator cuff problems I'm having in my right shoulder kept screaming at me. So I got up. For about the last 3…
  • I had to go back to Hobby Lobby this afternoon because I forgot some things, and ran into our former neighbor (not literally ), Sharon. She and her husband, Kevin, bought the house next door to us in the summer of 1981…
  • I am now starting to have bad dreams about the wedding. And it's still 8 months away! Last night I dreamed that the wedding was at our church, but it didn't look anything like our church. We had spent all our time decor…
  • I don't know if any of you have heard of or know anything about Joel Osteen, but read this post. His teachings draw a lot of people, but they are Biblically unsound.
  • I forgot to tell y'all about the guy we saw at CiCi's last night. He had a pink spider on his head. Well....ok, it wasn't actually a spider. It was his hair....I think. The sides of his head were shaved, but the hair on …

  • Oh, the things you can learn from a 5 year old in Children's Church. Things I didn't need to know. Or want to know We started with a video of Noah, and questions afterward. But when I found out he got the scratches…
  • New pictures have been added. I've been looking at old pictures, and I'll be adding to these. In this first one, I was one month shy of 19. We were on our way to our church Valentine banquet. The boyfriend in the pictu…
  • I was shopping Friday night, and of course the music they play in the stores now is what I listened to when I was in my late teens and twenties. Tonight I caught myself singing along to every word of a song I had not hea…
  • Suzanne sent Brandon and Rachael a gift from Bed Bath & Beyond! It is a 6 piece Wilton bake set, a 15 piece Pyrex set, a hand-held strainer (you can't see it in the picture - Brandon has it in his hand), and a "Five …
  • Read Susan's post about mean parents Ok, I created my own quiz, but on a different website than the others used. This is one I've used before, and it is easier to use. How well do you know me? Take…

  • I was looking through some old pictures again, and thought you might like to see this one. It's not often you see a shark on the freeway.
  • I thought you might like to see some flowers. I don't want to wait till the last minute to work on them. Yes, they are silk, but they look so real I keep wanting to smell them. I think we'll have real roses on the tables…
  • Can't believe it's March already - a very good month because it contains my birthday! This survey was on Connie's site. 1. How long have you had your Xanga? What's the main purpose you opened it? I started it 10/3…
