Science Fairs & New Family Members

I don't know about this Science Fair that Nonny wanted to do. It's coming up this Friday and we really have nothing. We made a sun, moon and earth out of clay. We will have a flashlight & mirror to bounce the light off the earth from the sun to hit the moon. We have a wiffle ball that is broken in half so a magnet could be put inside of it and then put on a board w/a magnet underneath so she can show how the moon pulls into the earth by magnetic force. We have a lot of "book" information.

Then last night a friend of mine called me around 8 pm. Her husband wants her to get rid of their pet turtle that she has had for over 5 years {well, its actually her kids, but, you know how that goes}. He was going to take it and put it in the river. She and her kids were upset and she didn't want it to go to the river. I don't blame her there. So, yep, my daughter and I are the proud new owners of Jordan---formerly known as Walter. Nonny changed his name. Uh, I think its a he. He was very nervous and our cat Lilah was watching everything--she doesn't seem too threatened by him at all. It took him a loooooooooooooong time to settle down----but this morning when I got up he was hiding in his log. So today I am hoping to get to a store to get him a new light for his terrarium---because the one they gave me blew out. Sundays are awful with buses, so, I am going to see if I can get a ride after church service. I had to do some reading up on what they need.....not as much as Lilah believe it or not, but, they need it.

Well, off to church I go. Have a blessed time today brothers & sisters. Remember Jesus loves you, love your neighbor and extend your hand and bounty to those who need soul care, salvation and practical things----love you all.

The Only Sinner

Good Morning,

I woke up this morning thinking about this quote that I read one day. It is not in perfect form, yet, it still gets the point across.....I believe St. Augustine is the one who said it. Sit back and think about this:

If everyone in the world and I mean EVERYONE in the world, were righteous.....and you were the ONLY sinner....Jesus would have still come and died for you.

Let me say that again for you:

If everyone in the world and I mean EVERYONE in the world, were righteous......and you were the ONLY sinner....Jesus would have still come and died for you.

Ponder that abit.

Selah.

So the next time you feel that you are the only sinner in the world, or noone does it worse than you. He still would have come. The next time you think a bad thought, say the wrong thing, hurt someone, act the wrong way, break a commandment, not love your brother.............when you think that noone could be worse than you and Jesus will not and would not forgive the things that you do..............That you are "unforgivable".............He still would have come. I believe that completely.....our Salvation is personal......He died for YOU.

Selah.

Betcha Thought I Was Gone??? Nah, You Didn't

Hi Everyone!!!

Forgive me for taking so long to get back here! I have been so busy! It is the end of March! Oh my gosh! Where did March go?????

So, I had been gone doing skit practices for the drama ministry I am in at my church for Resurrection Sunday. And my daughter, she is going to be part of the science fair at her school, she is going to do little simple nuggets about the moon....It has to be simple, I am too busy right now for anything else! lol.

Also, I am preparing to cook and host a fundraising pancake breakfast for our crisis pregnancy center. Now, the decision for my Pastor is, do we do it before or after service? Traditionally we were doing it before service but now, the idea has been put into our heads that more people may stay around AFTER the service and we could get more money!

Then, right after that it is time for a taco cafe---yup, our church is sending a team to Mexico again this year and the taco cafe's raise money to get some things taken care of---so I will jump into that next.....don't worry I am not stressed out---I love this stuff!!!!

Now, let me tell you, that it is planned within the next couple of weeks for me to work from home! woo hoo! I can not wait. My company just sent our local cable company to hook up business client and mine was taken care of Monday!!! woo hoo! lots of woo hoos huh?

Also, we did get our beds that I was talking about---they are wonderful! I have NEVER had a new bed and of course neither has my daughter. I am investing in a digital camera and will put some pics on here soon of all things and people---yes I plan on going crazy with the camera---aren't we supposed to? lol

I missed being here----it is getting late however, and I am not working from home yet so that means I still have to get up early and make the trek to work.

Love you all!!! I will be back really soon---

In Christ!
