How many kings would die for you? How many would step down from their thrones? How many Father’s would give up their sons?
This song is so beautiful! The words are a sweet reminder of WHO loves me enough to do just that. Die for me.
Thank you, Jesus!
After this past week….if you aren’t shaken back to the reality of impending death then you should be. None of us are guaranteed another tomorrow. Are you ready? Have you made the necessary preparations for eternity? Now’s the time.
As we remember these faces that touched and entertained us in so many ways… may we also understand the fragility of life.
Trust Him. Make Him Lord in your life. Live abundantly. Know peace.
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6

I’m not a cat person! Sorry to all of you out there that are cat lovers. I like them….OUTSIDE! I like them….KILLING MICE! I like them….naaaahhh, I really don’t like them. They’re the weirdest animal in the world. They aren’t nice and they glare at you suspiciously. Oh and their fur…….oh my goodness! Don’t even get me started. It is horrible! It drives my allergies crazy!
If I pick up a cat or pet one……my hands and eyes start itching like mad. Then I feel like I swallowed all the fur and my throat goes gaggy! So see? I’m not a cat person. I do like having them outside…lounging around on my porch and dragging up their many kills to proudly show me. But that’s it! If they act mean or unkind….then I don’t want them on my porch anymore.
Originally when we moved here. We brought a beautiful white cat named Me-meow (yea…it’s very unique, huh?) along. She flipped out after the whole move in and ran off. Months later, she came back! See, cats are WEIRD!!! We had an appointment to have her “fixed” but she missed that due to her wandering the world trip. You guessed it…..she had kittens. She went to the doctor and came back a new cat. Fixed!
We have one of her offspring…..oh she was so pretty! Suckers!
The pretty cat? Has been a wild breeding feign! Yes, I am the reason for the CAT POPULATION OVERLOAD!!! Trust me when I say….I have tried everything to end it. Even things I will not mention on this blog! Extreme things! It’s overwhelming me. I’m not an animal hater or one to hurt them…..but this cat and her shenanigans? She’s got me ticked! I’ve fantasized about shooting them out of a canon (to the next cat lovers house of course!)!!
Today some innocent cat loving people came over to pick out a kitty as a new family member. They fell in love with one in particular…a female. Of course the kitties were running back and forth as if they were aware of a kitnapping! We caught the one AND IT WENT CRAZY!! It bit not only the lady who wanted it….but then it bit the lady’s mother! I grabbed it to help out and it scratched the snot out of me! Bloody people all over my back porch! So embarrassing! SEE? CATS ARE MEAN!!
Now you tell me…..do these look like killers?

—Bills that just keep growing
I’m barely hanging on.
Praying.
Trusting.
Gee, it really is depressing….huh?
I love being part of the SBC! It is by far….the greatest denomination ever to belong to. Each summer thousands of Southern Baptists travel the country to meet up at one location and take care of business. My whole family loves going. It’s a great time to catch up with far-off friends that we don’t get to see normally.
One of the big highlights for me? The Minister’s Wives Luncheon! It is always fantastic! We converge on the largest room available at the convention for some “girl” time. A yummy salad and dessert are the meal and the table is always decorated in a cute theme. This year the theme was Quiet Influence (Romans 12:1). Each table had a purse shaped gift bag that was surrounded by the six-week Bible study book, Quiet Influence and the most beautiful note-taking hardback Bible. Every lady at the table received the Quiet Influence Bible study book as a gift. Nice! At the end of the luncheon, we were given cute little silky bags filled with goodies. Even a strand of faux pearls! (I’ll post a picture soon of me wearing them!)
It’s a sweet time to connect with other ladies that understand ministry life. Even though we’re not serving at this time…..I still have that same ministry heartbeat. We miss it! My kids miss it. They love hearing their dad preach and teach. It’s pretty special! We feel privileged anytime that he gets to these days. Another interim position may be in our future soon. But if not, we are at peace. We only want to be where God wants us to be.
Here’s a few snapshots from the luncheon. Both these sweet lady’s are Indiana pastor’s wives. They serve alongside their husband’s up near the Chicago area where it’s really cold. I love them both. They lead with such love and joy. I admire them and all they do to serve as ministry wives. Oh…and both have the cutest blogs too.

I can’t wait for next year. It’s in Orlando! I needed a good reason to be in Florida during the “beach” season! Woohoo!
