Let Your Light So Shine Before Men (EVERYONE is watching)

An honest man was being tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy
boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him.
He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he
could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.
The tailgating woman hit the roof--and the horn--screaming in frustration
as she missed her chance to get through the intersection.
As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked
up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer
ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police
station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed and placed
in a holding cell. After a couple of hours, a policeman approached
the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk
where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.
He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up
behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in
front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'Choose Life'
license plate holder, the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the
'Follow Me to Sunday School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated
Christian fish emblem on the trunk. ..........

Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car."

Remember everyone is watching us.
Priceless!

Stressful Month

Well where to begin. The month of July has been a really rough month for me. I've had so much happen that I don't know whether I'm coming or going! That's not an exaggeration either. On the 8th my grandmother passed away. It was a great shock to all of us considering she'd not been sick or anything. Then the end of that week we lost a great person from our church who was 81 I think. He'd suffered for a while so we were expecting his passing and grateful that we knew he had made things right between he and Christ. Then on the 15th of July I noticed a pretty large mass in my lower abdominal area that was very sore to the touch and my whole lower abdomen was yellow from internal bleeding. (not as bad as it sounds here) I made an appointment with my Doctor and after three unltrasounds that were cery painful they found that I have a very rare endometioma. So rare that they have only seen one other patient in the whole office with this type. (I always knew I was an odd ball !) So anyway this needs to be reomoved soon. They've schedualed surgery for August 7th at 7:30 AM. I'm really scared and could really use some prayers for the next few weeks. I hate hospitals especially when I'm the patient. I'll be off work for two weeks or so I'm told and only have to spend 1 night in the hospital so that will not be too bad, but bad enough. SO if you read this before the 7th please have a prayer for me!!!

Thanks Guys and Gals!

I guess it's Time !

Well I guess it is time that I post again--I've gotten pretty relaxed about not posting, but I need to. I enjoy it when I have time, but time isn't always easy to come by especially these last three weeks. We've been really busy between church and work that we've barley had time to keep things picked up around the house--my house has been a little in disarray. Anyway I guess that's a different story---We had a great couples day--we had about 20 in attendance all together and had a great time in the Lord and also a great time of fun and games.


Oh let's see what else had been going on? I had a great birthday (6/23) my loving husband gave me a surprise birthday party although it wasn't much of a surprise considering that he's done that for the last two or three years always at the same place--PIZZA HUT--that's the only cheap place that can handle about 10-15 people and kids! We had a great time though! Then the 26Th we celebrated out 8 year anniversary! It's hard to believe that it's been 8 long tough years :) no really it's been eight years, but not long and hard--We've had our good and bad times, but the good definitely out weigh the bad.

Now on to more recent events. We just finished up our Regional Convention (Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, E. Texas) We had a great time in the Lord and a great time getting to know the Oklahoma and E. Texas people--Oh how I love to fellowship with the saints of God. We had a great time during our VLB service and we had several experiences and the Lord moved in a mighty mighty way! You could feel the power of God sweep through the place.

Now onto a little funnier story---

My son has decided he's an adult (he's really 6)--I should say maybe he is 14 stuck in a 6 year old body! HA--He's been so funny latley--This weekend he was great. He found a 13 or 14 year old girl that he just fell in Love with and I use the word love lightly here--He asked me Friday night if she was to old for him and I told him that yeah 6 or 7 years difference is a bit much. Then he wanted to know if he could marry her when he was 13---What's wrong with my son---He's already girl crazy and he's 6---dear Lord help me when he's say uh 10---He'll really be a handful then. Anyway all during the convention he thought that he had to se her at least twice every day--boy he was in heaven so he thought. He was really disapointed at the times when she didn't notice him. He made friends with a few 16 year olds and I'm not sure that's such a great Idea either. At one point he came to me and said mom I'm going with Brett--I'll see ya later--HA---He was seeing if I was really listening---yes I was and no he wasn't going with Brett!! He's been great all weekend, but he still doesn't understand that he is only SIX not SIXTEEN---Boy I'm sure I'm gonna be in trouble when he reaches those teenage years!!!!


Well I need to go--must get back to work! Hope you all have a great week!!!
