I feel your pain

November 19, 2008

I was flipping through the HD channels the other night, trying to get itching off my mind…literally. I paused on the Lou Dobbs show on CNN and just then, this sweet graphic pops up. Fortunately, I kept my composure, hit “record” on the DVR and ran up and got my camera.

There’s nothing more discouraging than once you’ve finished a graphic, to discover that there’s something MAJOR wrong with it. Well, to whomever made this one…I feel your pain. Maybe you should have someone spell check for you before it goes to the TV switcher next time… Oh, but on the positive side, it did take my mind off of these crazy red bumps for a few moments.

Late bloomer

November 18, 2008

I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry, but Sunday afternoon, it became obvious that I have chicken pox. After talking with Sheila about what that means, I knew this was going to be a beast. And it has been. I battled with what I thought was flu all weekend, and then, thanks to a Melissa and Sheila who are both in the medical field, I realized that I was dealing with something a little different.

So, now, I’m covered with itching red spots, and it’s driving me nuts. Of course, some of you say that’s a pretty short trip.

Please pray for Jenny. She is trying to take care of me and put up with my constant whining and non-scratching (which looks an awful lot like scratching unless you look carefully).

Don’t know how long this will take, but someday, I’ll be back in the saddle. Actually just the thought of being in a saddle hurts right now.

Another funny one

November 18, 2008

Saturday, Micah asked me if I had seen his new pet penguin, “Zif.” I said, “You have a pet penguin named, ‘Zif’?” He said, “Yep. He’s ‘Zif’ for ‘Zif-aniah’”.

My Quotable Son

November 6, 2008

The other night I was putting Micah to bed, and apparently, he had had something earlier that wasn’t agreeing with his tummy. He was laying there tooting over and over. I said, “Son, is that you?” He said, “Maybe it’s me…maybe it’s my invisible hamster.”

Dad even gets to talk at his own funeral

October 23, 2008

Dad recorded this video testimony in June of 2008. He died on October 12, 2008 and we showed this video at his funeral later that week.

I hope that it blesses you as it has me.

For those who have not yet heard, my dad finally ended his battle with pancreatic cancer on October 12, 2008. BTW, he won. :-)

For those of you who do know about dad’s new wonderful life, thank you for the deluge of support, cards, kind words, hugs, and general kindness. I have been BLOWN AWAY by the outpouring of love from all of you.

Faith as big as a…

September 30, 2008

Last night, my family and I were driving and listening to Seeds Family Worship CDs. BTW. They’re an amazing resource for teaching your children Scripture with really great music. Anyhooo…we were listening to a song and the lyrics said, “If you have faith, faith as a mustard seed…” Micah said, “I don’t have faith like a mustard seed.” He had my attention. He said, “I have faith as big as a coconut!” Man, I busted up. Good stuff.

Man Rules

September 17, 2008

Thanks to Ron for sending me these via email. I edited it to be just my favorites. Now, ladies, I’m not saying I endorse or support any of these statements, but they do make me laugh, and that’s saying something.

The Man Rules:

We always hear ‘the rules’ from the female side.  Now here are the rules from the male side.

These are our rules!  Please note . . . they are all numbered ‘1′ ON PURPOSE!

1. Men are NOT mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You’re a big girl. If it’s

up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don’t hear

us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports It’s like the full moon or the changing of the

tides. Let it be.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1.  Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one! Subtle

hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do

not work! Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every

question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it.

That’s what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.

In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.

1. If you think you’re fat, you probably are. Don’t ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of

the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

1. You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want

it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do

it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during

commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.

Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a

fruit. We have NO idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say ‘nothing,’ We will act

like nothing’s wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not

worth the hassle.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is

fine… Really!

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

Sex and Salvation

September 9, 2008

So, this past weekend, we started our series called Pillow Talk, and Mark laid an amazing foundation for what the Bible says about sex…and 20 people pray to receive Christ. Would someone care to explain that to me? I’m speechless.

(BTW, you owe it to yourself and your family to watch Mark’s message, and pass it along.)
