A New Path 2008-09-30 22:04:00 You never know the path the Lord will lead you down, that is what makes life as a Christian such an exciting journey. If you just do the following and let the Lord lead he can and will do amazing things in your life.The house we looked at buying in the country was sold this week.

Good Intentions 2008-09-27 21:04:00 If only good intentions were all you needed to actually accomplish something!! I always start the summer off with such good intentions of losing weight. It is easier to eat healthier and should be easier to be getting exercise outside. I really wish all the work of mowing my yard and caring for my garden would work as well as the alli weight loss pill, but alas, it doesn't seem to make any differe

Got pictures? 2008-09-25 11:20:00 My husband got a great camera for his birthday last year. It takes super clear pictures, even of moving objects. I like to take pictures of it for my blog, but have been slacking off lately. Sorry! It is truly amazing to me how such a tiny little flash memory stick like that can hold so many pictures. I think the last time I cleaned it off, it had around 600 pictures on it! While that is fan

BFS #103 It keeps going...and going...and going! 2008-09-25 10:37:00 Housekeeping: that household mess, it keeps
going and going and going. It’s a perpetual chore that we diligently need to keep going on to stay on top it. We all have different ways of keeping ourselves energized.Assignment: How do you keep energized so you can get it all done? bouncy music? treat it like a workout? Do you use a schedule?, a housekeeping binder system? luck of the draw system?..
Getting motivated! 2008-09-25 10:23:00 I have really been getting into housecleaning the last week or so - I guess we could call it fall cleaning. I got my room reorganized and cleaned out and my bathroom de-cluttered and cleaned up. Then I shampooed the carpet in my living room, washed the curtains, and took out all the windows and washed them. All I really have left is my kitchen. Once I get it all cleaned up and de-cluttered I w
New Menu for Fall 2008-09-24 22:07:00 I really enjoy having a weekly menu to follow that I can change as needed while still sticking to the same basic plan. This makes grocery shopping much easier! I have changed my menu to reflect the cooler fall weather and have utilized several crockpot recipes from flylady.net This makes the busy evenings run smoother because I can throw supper in the crockpot while I am preparing lunch.I decide
Controversial Subject 2008-09-23 13:33:00 As I mentioned before, our Bible Study on Friday mornings decided to work through the book and journal by Debi Pearl, Created to Be His Help Meet. I am reading through the book and doing the journal with my Bible Sudy women at one chapter per week. Last night I read a chapter about women in the church. I know this is a controversial subject and I would like to ask the opinion of my Christian re Read more:Controversial
NO Right-Clicking! 2008-09-20 22:57:00 Have you ever tried to create a newsletter, copy a picture, or even add stuff to your blog without being able to right click? It is very difficult - I speak from personal experience!! Apparently my right button on my mouse decided to stop working. It seems to go with that philosophy "you don't appreciate something until it's gone". I never realized how much I use that button until I couldn't use i Read more:Right

Changing Seasons 2008-09-20 22:42:00 Along with the change of the seasons from summer to fall and eventually to winter, comes the need for a change of shoe styles. I love summer with its carefree shoe styles, like Crocs, flip-flops, and sandals. Summer shoes are easy on/off and don't require socks. Although I enjoy fall and winter, I do not like having to wear socks and more restrictive shoes. Shoes in fall styles seem to be more exp Read more:Changing

Thank you!This is a very cool Portuguese Award and it means this blog invests in and believes that blogging makes us close.

PRO-LIFE 2008-09-20 15:00:00 Pro-life people are diverse in economic status, race, religion, and education. Yet, they are unified by the concept that all humans, especially the innocent unborn, have an inherent right to life.Here are things I believe as a Pro-Life person:I believe that the unborn child is human.

Paperbackswap 2008-10-29 08:30:00 If you haven't heard about or signed up for paperbackswap yet you really need to check it out! It is like having your own online bookshelves for other users to shop from. You list books you are willing to trade and when someone requests one of your books you ship it to them - usually at a cost of $2-3.

Blogger Friend School #107 2008-10-28 06:29:00 Assignment: We only have today. Should God take you today, have you accomplished everything that you wanted to, needed to. Have you said all the things that needed to be said? Let’s have no regrets, let’s make sure we get to those things, so that when we’re standing before the Lord, the only thing we need to do is to worship him.. and not regret not getting to that thing on our to do list.

What a week! 2008-10-25 07:43:00 It has been a long week at our house! We started out the week with severe sleep deprivation because of the overnight retreat at church last Friday night. Then, when we heard about the snowstorm/blizzard in the forecast we realized we were far from ready for winter. That meant draining hoses, draining the sprinkler system, pulling up and tilling the remainder of my garden, cleaning up & mowing
Blogger Friend School #106 2008-10-22 08:07:00 Intro: “Have It Your Way” (Burger King) - As cooler weather approaches and the winter eases into our doors I like to lounge by the fire after a hot shower. I love to make soups that are brimming with a rich and full flavor. In our home there’s nothing better than a hot bowl of soup or and a hot cup of coffee or cocoa on a cold winter night.Assignment: Tell us all about how your have “your Read more:Blogger

Technology Age 2008-10-22 07:52:00 I was thinking today about how advanced our society has become in what many refer to as the Technology
Age. We rely so fully on computers, what would we do without them? I have heard that there is technology available that is imbedded inside computers that by activating a single bug our entire computer and internet system could be totally wiped out. Now, I have no idea how much truth there is to t
Got Snow? 2008-10-22 07:41:00 This might be a good time to stock up on those snowmobile parts you've been meaning to buy. We are forecasted to get 2-4 inches of snow tonight and experience blizzard conditions, as in zero visibility, icy roads, the whole thing! I can't believe it!! It doesn't usually snow this early and generally the first snow of the year is a gentle light dusting. The kids and I get all excited about the few
Exciting night ahead! 2008-10-17 16:18:00 Well, the weekend we have been waiting for (at least the kids anyhow!) is finally here. It is our church's annual Children's Retreat. We have not been to one of these before and it is being hosted by our church here in town. We will go at 6pm and they have lots of activities planned for the evening, including a hayride. Then we will sleepover at the church and enjoy many more activities tomorr Read more:ahead

Entrecard Rules 2008-10-12 14:34:00 I have seen several my favorite blogs leave the entrecard arena lately, probably due to their rules. Honestly, I don't know if the rules have existed since I signed up, or if they have been recently implemented. The one that disappoints me the most is not being able to have music playing on the site. When I saw that rule, I did take the auto-play music off my site. I have since turned it back on - Read more:Rules
Public Schools and Gambling 2008-10-10 19:25:00 As Cubmaster of our local Cub Scout pack I have been eagerly awaiting the announcement of the Homecoming Week theme so we could start building our float for the parade. We have been studying citizenship this month and were hoping to somehow incorporate that into the theme for this year while also promoting Cub Scouting! So, I get the paper this week and scan it for the announcement, sure enough Read more:Public

Stocking up the Freezer 2008-11-17 23:25:00 Well, it seems to be deer season around these parts and though I am not a hunter, I do love free stuff. The free item of the week is, of course, venison (deer meat)!! We did buy one permit because Kevin was feeling the need to go shoot something so he shot a big ol' 4x5 buck and is having it mounted. What sicks me out is that he wants it mounted European style, for those of us not familiar with de Read more:Stocking

Scarlet Fever? Are you kidding? 2008-11-12 15:35:00 My oldest son has scarlet fever! Who knew? I didn't even realize people could still get scarlet fever. Thankfully he doesn't have a real bad case of it and when treated with antibiotics he will be no longer contagious within 48 hours and better within 10 days. Sunday evening he had a mildly high fever and a sore throat. I didn't think much of it. Monday evening I noticed his entire torso was Read more:Fever
