90% and 10%

Sometimes I get so caught up in having things in the right place at the right time etc. that I believe I’m doing more damage to some very important relationships along the way.  I don’t mean to, but it’s happening.  90% of the time things are great, but it’s the 10% that I wallow in. [...]

Things to think about for 2009

Found this list in some files as I was “cleaning” up our computer!!  I’ve printed them off and plan to use them as I sit and think and plan and pray for 2009.  Maybe you’d like to do the same!!
1. What’s one thing you could do this year to increase your enjoyment of God?
2. What’s the [...]

Peace as a pony

Some people would say that peace is usually represented by a dove.  Today, I want to share with you how peace has been represented by a sweet 8 year old girl and her pony.  Webster defines “peace” as “freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts or emotions.”   Wow! This is exactly what we were able [...]

Life as a “misfit”

I just had the pleasure of watching one of the season’s most familiar movies with my children, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer.  
Believe it or not, you can actually watch the entire movie online!  http://www.guba.com/watch/3000024620
 
It’s familiar to most  people “my age” (late 30’s).   When I was a kid I couldn’t wait for it’s [...]

These are a few of my favorite things….

The city where my parents’ live has had a display of some pretty cool horses for the last several months and now that it’s Christmas they are changing the horses out for Nutcrackers.   They have this neat display so you can see most of the horses before they are auctioned off and go to [...]

Gaby’isms

Will you love me forever, mommy?
I just want to hug you.
Wanna see the stars mommy?  (when she kept her pull-ups dry…they have stars on them if they’re dry)
Can I have a hug?  I need love.
I like the [...]

Give Thanks

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. Ps. 118:1
Today I sit smiling….It’s an amazing feeling to love and to be loved.  Thank you, God for loving me, allowing me to be loved and showing me how to love others.

Toilet Paper Fun

Last weekend a black stretch limo pulled up in front of the house across the street from us.   Pretty amazing to see one of those in our neighborhood, so it was neat for our kids to see.  
What surprised me was that I looked out the window and saw about 10-12 little girls (about [...]

One Way

The church of Oprah exposed.  Christians open your eyes and be aware of what is going on.   Do not be deceived.   She is powerful and leading many astray.  
Hebrews 3:12-13 See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another [...]
