When you get the keys to your kingdom... be sure to make a spare set...

This is dedicated to David Railey... About 3 years ago, when the announcement was made that we would be leaving our position as youth pastors, to be seniors, David (who was visiting our church that day) leaned over to me and said "When you enter your kingdom will you remember me?" Well I laughed and said of course, but he forgot to tell me to make a spare set of the keys to the kingdom.

When we first got to that church as senior pastors, with in the first week, on a Sunday, Q locked himself out of his office (accidentally) and had to call a locksmith to come open it... lol

That was bad enough, but then, two years later, after we left that Church, and accepted our current position as senior pastors at Shebly Christian Fellowship, Q locked himself out of his office. Yes I am telling you the truth. Yes, this just happened, this last Sunday. Blessedly he had his bible, and sermon notes with him, (since it was rt before service). It was soooo funny. Another blessing, the former pastor Bro Rod, had an extra set still, and lived near by.

We got to meet brother Rod and sister Bonita... lol. Nice people.

tGbtg Amen,

Hamsters...

Please if I ever go to get another Hamster, STOP ME! The saga continues. QM decided it would be funny to let Bitsy go under the bathroom door to see Nana while she was using the restroom. Well Bitsy decided to take a detour, down the vent...

Yep, the vent... Do you know how hard it is to catch a hamster that has been released into a maze of vents? No? Well if I knew I would tell you, but we haven't caught her yet. We are praying. We bought a "humane" box trap, and baited it and we are waiting.

That was just the Icing on the cake of my day...

It began with rain. Don't get me wrong, I like rain, I consider it liquid sunshine, but today, it wasn't a nice thing. It was messing with my head. No, literally, I had a splitting headache, sinus pressure. Then on the way to College, I sorta turned a corner on a wet road too quick, and almost met myself on the way in... It was interesting.

When I did finally get to class, I realized I had homework due, that I hadn't done yet... and, I had no paper to print it out, and no jump drive to get it from my computer to the printer... When I finally got it all fixed and printed, I had to borrow paper and a jump drive...I realized I had my jump drive in my pocket... Lovely huh? Then as I was getting ready to leave school, I had left my jacket in my first class... Yeash....

So, I went home, and laid down, took some medicine, and was starting to feel better, when Nana came in and woke me up with "Mommy, one of the hamsters went down the vent..."

I need a bubble bath and a good book... see ya.

My Partner in Crime...

My husband is my life partner. We are more than just married, we are friends. We love to be together. We have the most fun playing tricks on our kids… Poor little Children, had to be born to us… Our oldest son is … well gullible… and we take advantage of that fact. He happens to be afraid of spiders. Well I tell him not to worry, I’ll take him to the hospital if he gets bit. Somehow he doesn’t find the comfort in that. We got him twice yesterday, Anny had a plastic spider… and well you can guess. He thought it was real for a second or two. It was long enough to make him panic. The best one was when he was helping Daddy tear down the front porch ( it broke, so we had to tear it down and rebuild it), Que put the spider up on a board up above Matt’s head, and was able to make it fall down right on top of him… while Matt was looking up. The jig he danced was classic. Perfect timing and everything. Matt is a good sport about it.
Did you know that you can take the shower head off and put kool aid (just the powder) in the head, then screw it back on, and the water will come out what ever color the powder was… Yeah well Matt got a red shower the other day.
No, we don’t just pick on Matt, as a matter of fact, just today we had them all convinced that we were an hour late for church… and that we didn’t care. (A big thank you to daylight savings for helping us pull that one off.) My point is we enjoy life… We have fun, and we do it together. We spend time enjoying each other. Life is fun. I hope you have someone to enjoy it with.
