I went to see a field of sunflowers!

OK so technically I didn't take this picture... But I posed it. Does that count?

Sarah Palin

Disclaimer... for my readers who are democrat... I am sorry, you don't have to agree, you just have to love me...


Go McCain! I think he made an AWESOME! choice for a VP. Sarah sealed my vote. I love the fact that she is a mother of five, and a crack shot with a rifle. She is pro-life, and for the sanctity of marriage, and yet still sees the need to defend people from hate crimes. I totally LOVE the fact that she knew her son would be born with down-syndrome, and had him anyway.

I don't watch ABC's "The Practice", too much sleeping around, but as I was waiting for the news and looking out for weather alerts on "Faye", I saw the end of last Thursday's episode. A lady had been diagnosed with a genetically inherited disease, that she had a 50% chance of passing to her child. When asked about it, they said that yes they wanted kids, yes they knew the child could get the disease, but if children with that disease were never born, the husband would have never met and fell in love with his wife. I totally loved that.

Soooo... How was your day?

I'm so glad you asked! I woke up and it was all foggy.Then I had to turn around three times on the way to school, I saw a gazillion spiderwebs, I had my seat stolen twice... (in both of my classes), I got something on my light khaki carpi's, my digital recorder's battery died. Oh, and I spilled a can of peas. Over all it was a WONDERFUL DAY!!! Cause I got some awesome pics!!!



The white on those bushes are spider webbs with fog on them...
It's all a matter of perspective.

Microbursts!

This one is for you Etta. I'm praying for you!

Submarines & Satan
Have you ever felt like you are in a situation where you had so much going on that if another thing happened you would simply explode? I remember such a time in my life. It seemed that all that could go wrong had:
o My father-in-law had to undergo some intensive cancer treatment, much of which took me and two young children an hour one way to Tampa at least once every two weeks.
o A teenager in our church was having problems with her parents, so we had just agreed to allow her to live with us on a trial basis.
o We had my husband and I, my father-in-law, a rebellious teen, a two year old, and a one year old under one roof. That mix alone was thick.
o My husband got sick with strep throat, and we had no insurance.
o The stress was causing me to skip my normal cycles and to be nauseous a lot of the time, causing me to think I might be pregnant, and giving me panic attacks.
o As if that weren’t enough, my two year old little boy jumped off some bleachers and broke his left femur. It is supposed to be the hardest bone to break. He had to be put into a full body cast.
I told you all of that just to say that seven years later I survived it all.
o Happily, Poppie survived and lived relatively healthily for five more years.
o God delivered me from panic attacks.
o The teen successfully reunited with her parents.
o Matt recovered fully, without even a limp.
o I survived!
The pressure around me was great, but the God within me was/is greater.
So, what does satan have in common with Submarines? They both use pressure. Satan tries to crush us, much as the ocean tries to crush the submarine. Check this out; it is the pressure inside the submarine that keeps it from crushing. If we have Jesus on the inside, He provides us with the pressure, or strength not to implode.

The one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

Praise the Lord!

He blessed me with a new lap top! If you saw my last one, you know I needed one. The chassis (not sure of that spelling) on my last one cracked

Rainy Days...

Todd Bentley - Moral Failure (that means he had an affair...)

Hmmmm Why am I not surprised? Here is a link to the article in the Lakeland Ledger, the local paper for Lakeland Fl. I am sorry, but it just seemed like a bunch of hog wash... (I mean the revival) I grew up in Pentecostal churches, I have seen warts disappear, and ladies shout their hair down, dancing before the Lord. Unfortunately our children have never seen it. We need to get back to Pentecost.

New Signature.

Ok new signature again... Whatcha think of this one?

Help! I am addicted!!!

This is what I got when I put my entire manuscript of Microbursts in... the biggest words are Just One GOD!

This wordle thing is pretty cool
I totally LOVE the fact that the biggest word is praise, because that is what I am all about! It even has my tGbtg in it... Too cool
Here is another one. Cool love it!

Good Morning Lord!

I woke up this morning to this sunrise... It reminded me of an old song;

"Good Morning Dear Lord! What exciting new things are instore for me today? Problems? Oh I know there'll be problems. But I am sure we can solve them, just the Lord and me!"

Oh and thank you to Aaron over at Iron Sharpens Iron gave me a shout out today on what he calls his braggin wagon! He said and I quote...
"If it makes her curious you're going to see it!" talking about the pictures on my blog. Then he almost made me cry with this small review of my book Microbursts!

"She has written a devotional book published by 'Lion & Lamb Publications' called "Microbursts!- Devotions with a Unique Look into the Power of God in Everyday Life". The title says it all because she takes stuff in everyday life and sees God in it. It is a book well worth $14.95+ s/h. You will laugh, cry, and be touched by God when you read it. You can apply most of it in your life and see God where you missed Him before."

Thank you Aaron!

Christmas Time's a Coming... (singing)
