The Radar Has Nothing To Do With What Is Up In The Sky

In this drought, I really enjoyed having a computer, with Internet, and being able to check the radar. I like checking to see it is going to rain. I will hear thunder and I will run real fast to the computer to see the radar, and sometimes I will say, “No, the radar isn’t showing anything.” And that settles it in my mind.

Well my husband told me one day, “The radar has nothing to do with what is up in the sky.” That confused me for a second, but I just let it go, like whatever. I wasn’t real sure he knew what he was talking about.

Then the other day, the same thing happened, and he said the same thing, “The radar has nothing to do with what is up in the sky.” So I stopped for a minute and I thought about it, the radar has nothing to do with what is up in the sky. Then it hit me, the radar reflects off of rain drops, it can tell you where it is raining and where that rain is going, but it has nothing to do with what is up in the sky. It can not tell you if it is about to rain, it can’t predict the future. The radar can’t see a cloud in the sky that is full of rain and about to burst; it doesn’t reflect the rain until it is released. So the next time you look around and feel like a spiritual storm is coming, realize that is just your radar reflecting off of the rain around you, the radar has nothing to do with what is up in the sky; that is the future. Only God knows your future. When you feel the devil surrounding you, look up and trust that God controls the sky, and your future. Psalms 123:1b says Hey yo God… up there in heaven, I could use a little help here.

He knows what we do not know. With all of that power, surely He knows about a few rain drops surrounding you.

I look to you, heaven-dwelling God, look up to you for help.

Psalms 123:1b

I Confess...

I admit it, I am a Blue supremist... I think Blue is the ultimate color... according to Wikkipedia,
Supremacism is the belief that a particular race, religion, gender, species, sexual orientation, belief system, culture or color is superior to others and entitles those who identify with it to dominate, control or rule those who do not.

I have to agree. Blue is best!

However this may be taking it a little too far... Blue Grits!!!!!!! I love it! Too cool

Ok so more purple than blue, but still AWESOME!

Btw... my sister is a Red supremist... She needs salvation.

aggghhhh life is closing in!

I have been sooooo busy... I haven't had time to blog. Also, my modem is acting up. Here are some pics from work Friday... Laugh your head off!

My boss Kim was a Sumo Wrestler...
I am a geisha who charmed the dragon!

Shelly, Melissa and I were Geisha's and Tina was our Madam... lol

Even our pumpkin was Chinese...

I am attacking the pumpkin!

My first pumpkin carving ever!

These are my wonderful Co-workers, from left to right, Me, Kim, Jan, Melissa, Judy, Marsha, Tina, and Mary-Pat, and this is our beautiful Dragon Pumpkin. Since the sculpture we chose was a dragon we decided to take a theme of Chinese new year.

This is the sign for destiny.



(this is what it is supposed to look like)

Ha when they put my pumpkin in it is sideways... My destiny is sideways! too funny. Fits me...
This is Marsha and Tina in their little hats with pigtails...

Tina made all these hats. She is so smart.

I got the First Laugh!

It was a long day yesterday. Last week, Nana ripped a gouge in her finger. I call it a gouge, because it was a v shape. They couldn’t even stitch it; there wasn’t enough of the skin left. As if that wasn’t enough, Tymothie decided to get in on the act, and stepped on some glass. No you are right; he didn’t do it on purpose. It was accidental. Nana’s fault actually, she was chasing him thru the yard with the water hose. Anyway, so yesterday I had to take Nana and Tym to the doctor for a checkup on their various wounds. When we left, I had to go to the pharmacy and get prescriptions filled, which of course they were out of what I needed. Both kids were tired, and in pain from all the poking at the check up, and well you get the idea, I was none too chipper.

As we left the store and started toward our car, I handed the key to Nana and asked her to open the door. Tymothie was riding in the cart, tired from his crutches, and I wanted the door open when I reached there, so she went a little ahead of us, in the direction we thought we had parked. When she reached the car and tried the key, it wouldn’t work. It was the strangest thing. I was sure that this was where I parked, and it looked like my car. I told her to try again. As she did, a guy walked up, and said “My key will work better.” Then he pulled out his key, opened the door, got in, started the car and started to pull off. Meanwhile, Tym, Nana and I stood there with our mouths open. It had been such a long day, at first I thought, He is stealing my car. Then we turned around and saw our car on the row behind us. We had to laugh. How silly of us. Right about then I decided If you laugh at yourself first, others are merely laughing with you.

Every day is a terrible day for a miserable person, but a cheerful heart has a continual feast

Proverbs 15:15

MUD... That Pretty Much Says It All

Thankfully we have been getting some rain lately. We are still in a drought, but every little bit helps. Unfortunately the warehouse where Tymothie (7) has wrestling practice is surrounded by mud. As we were on our way into the building to get Tym, Que showed me the best way to go. It was a lot like a treasure map, “Take three steps to your right, go around this puddle, go in front of this puddle, now step over this ditch then hop over this puddle.”

On the way out, I thought I saw a better way, so I took it. It was dark, and I couldn’t see well. I nearly fell in the mud! Que looked at me and through gales of laughter said, “You had to go your own way didn’t you?”

As Christian we get tired of going God’s way sometimes, and try to do it our own way. We forget the verse that says

Your word is a lamp for my feet, and a light for my path.

Psalm 119:105

He knows the way; all we have to do is follow.

Since When Is Snoring A Ministry?

Since when is snoring a Ministry?

There is a young couple in our church, Mark and Stacey, and they haven’t been married for long, and haven’t been saved for long. We wanted to kind of mentor them some, and just encourage them in God, that He is worth the time, so we invited them over to our house for lunch one Sunday.

Quintin has been working two jobs, so he was really super tired. After he cooked lunch, and helped me serve lunch, he was even more tired. Mark and Stacey’s kids went to play with ours, and we settled in the living room.

Stacey has a camera similar to mine, and loves to take pictures, so I pulled out my laptop which has like a thousand pictures on it, and started showing some to her and Mark. In a few seconds we heard a strange noise and began to look around for the source. We didn’t have to look far, over in the recliner Que was snoring. We just laughed and went back to the pictures.

A couple of weeks later, at church one Sunday, Stacey’s brother Michael came up to us and said, “Thank you so much for having Mark and Stacey over the other day, that was such a blessing, you ministered to them so much. It even ministered to me!”

Poor guy, I laughed in his face… I didn’t mean to, it just came out before I could stop it. Then as he kind of looked at me funny, I said, “I am sorry, but since when is snoring a ministry?” Then I explained how Que had slept most of the time.

I guess it just goes to show you never know when you are ministering to someone, just by being yourself.

My eyes will be watching the faithful people in the land so that they may live with me. The person who lives with integrity will serve me.

Psalms 101:6

Roll Tide Roll!

It's gonna be a Great Day!

It’s freezing outside!
It’s gonna be a great day!
My heat in my car doesn’t work!
It’s gonna be a great day!
My car is out of gas!
It’s gonna be a great day!
The gas station is out of French Vanilla!
It’s gonna be a great day!
While trying to unlock my car I accidentally hit the panic button!
It’s gonna be a great day!
The remote battery for my car is dying, and I can’t get it off of panic, even unlocking it doesn’t work…
It’s gonna be a great day!
When I finally get to work, I spill coffee all over me!
I choose, It’s gonna be a great day!
