God has given me a chance to find Him and my way of living with Him leading. I am doing my exploring and just need a place to talk about every day life and my thoughts.ALPhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18268194571499190451noreply@blogger.comBlogger276125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16801188.post-1157308608189173322006-09-03T14:36:00.000-04:002006-09-03T14:36:48.873-04:00

This should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where you could read it every day. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true. 1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for. 2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way. 3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you. 4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone

A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said, "Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like. The Lord led the holy man to two doors. He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in. In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water. The people

The problem Sheila is I addressed it and well it never goes well. He refused to talk to me because what I was talking about was (sorry exact words are escaping me right now) invalid. I bought each of the kids 3 new outfits for school yesterday. They need clothes. All of their pants come above their ankles and all summer I just made them wear them because I wasn't going to spend money on new

So while on vacation some wonderful things came to light. I am blessed - very blessed...My youngest son is a sweetheart! Very loving, very caring, very affectionate. Well he was riding bikes with a girl because none of the other children would play with her because she was too small. So Todd sat down with him and reminded him that kissing and hugging is not appropriate (he is known to do this

Hi Everyone!We have made it home. We actually ended up packing up yesterday and came home a day early. I have been busy today washing clothing, putting things away and working on our bills (which at this point in time are all going to be late if I don't get them out today)...I will give a much better post later on!Just wanted to say it is good to be home!

We are just about to leave for camping...Let me say the best stress reliever ever is sex with your husband (or wife)... What makes it an even better stress reliever is when your spouse starts it because he knows you are stressed and he is stressed and he thinks it would be good for us!Wow what a night last night!Hope you guys have a great week. I should be back posting either next Wednesday or

I struggle with boundaries. I struggle with how to create them. I struggle with every aspect of them. Yet I need to learn how not to struggle with them and how to create them; with or without hurting every ones feelings.I get a call today from Kyle's PDoc. She is a wonderful lady. We have seen her for the past 4 years (I think it is about that). She and I have had some huge heart to hearts

Not sure where it came from but it is on a board I frequent. I wanted to share it for those of you who do not go there at all and those of you who do not get a chance to read each and every post but do go there....A mom was concerned about her kindergarten son walking to school. He didn't want his mother to walk with him. She wanted to give him the feeling that he had some independence but yet

I have never even thought of these things before. So today at church it was a bit of an eye opening thing for me. I really never thought of judgement in this way before...Are you a Christian who believes the Lord is going to judge you when you meet Him? Is He going to show all your wrongs to those around you? Is that what you believe your judgement day is going to be?What do you believe your

So I am going to have a couple of posts today because I had some thoughts on the way to church and then I want to write about the sermon today.I was driving to church and realized I praise the Lord while singing in the car. I do - I lift my hand to praise Him while driving and singing. It isn't planned - it just happens. I never really thought about this until I was on my way to church today.

We were in the ER until around 3;00 yesterday afternoon. We got home around 4:15. I fell asleep around 5:15 and woke up at 8:15. Then I laid awake until 1 when Todd and the boys got home. Then I slept until this morning. Woke up with a sore throat and thought I had best get that checked out today and made an appointment.Todd is fine. Well we really do not know.

Really tired but wanted to post this...Todd woke up last night with chest pains. He has been having them off and on since Sunday night. We have been in the hospital since about 2:30 this morning.I am running on about a hour of sleep and we still are unsure of what is going on.Some heart enzymes were up but that is about all.Thank you for prayers (if you didn't get what this post was about)..

I am in a huge internal struggle right now... What do you do with friends who "believe" in the Lord and yet do things they know are wrong?What do you say to them about the things that are wrong? Do you say anything to them? Do you just let it go?I know I do things wrong still! I deal with this all the time. I am working on myself and I am a huge work in progress! I am not perfect. I sin

I am asking for prayers (seems to be a common theme with me lately)...I do not have a lot of time but on Friday I got a call about my Grandma who was taken to the hospital. Now I got mixed stories and needed to get it straight because my parents were in Colorado on a mission and I needed to call and tell them what was going on. So after man stories I called my parents to tell them.They asked

I get headaches - migraines way to often. Yet not as often as I used to get them. Which is a nice thing but when they happen they are so much more difficult to function though because I am not getting them as often.I truly laid down today in the afternoon because none of my meds were working and feel asleep for a little over two hours.

So when I saw the new movie preview for Click I did not want to see it. The preview on TV focused on typical Adam Sandler crude type things (slowing down time to watch a women's boobs as she jogs by). When we took the boys to a movie and we saw the preview; of course he says he wants to see it and I say I don't. My husband has struggled with porn in the past. I struggle with watching sexual
