My Latest Hobby

My two brothers, Kristopher and Branden have gotten me into Hacky Sac. I of course am uncoordinated, fat, and slow, so this is a great sport for me. ha ha ha!!

I'm the one in the middle with the black shorts. Nice huh? lol.

Anyway, this new sport is quite fun, and when I am not missing the sac, or kicking way to hard, the boys do say I am improving.

Dear Lord Launching in 30 days

Hey all,
I'm am just writing to let you know about our upcoming launch date for our website Dear Lord. It is a website that will be offering spiritual counseling for those seeking it.

We will be offering this counseling free of psychology and of course, free of charge. We will be giving you advice and counseling directly from the Word Of God.

The home page tells what the website is about and you can look through the pages on the side that link to each of our testimonies, our doctrine, articles written by the minister and others and much more. Of course you will be able to click on Dear Lord... and write in your problem, issue, question, comment, or encouraging thought.

There are 5 of us who are Born of the Spirit of God who will be offering counseling to those in need. We range from 10 years old to over 30 years in Christ. There are also 2 "fleshly" Christians, which means they are not saved, know they are not saved, but are in the church and content being there. Each of us 7 have something unique to offer those seeking counseling and you may feel free to request which ever one of us you feel will be the most helpful to you and your problem.

You may wish to write in anonymously, or leave us your name, it is completely up to you. You may chose to have your question posted to the site for all to view or send us your personal email address for us to reply to. The one thing you need to keep in mind if you would like accurate counseling, is to give all the information without holding any truths back. Without accurate information, we can not give you accurate counseling.

On July 14, 2007 I will post the link to the website on the side of all my blogs so you will have easy access to it. We look forward to seeing you there, even if the Lord had to lead you by the nose. Ha ha

The Foundation of My Faith

Isn't this a beautiful picture? My Mommy painted it when I was very young and when my sister and brother painted her a new one about 9 years ago, I inherited this one. My husband took the rugged barn wood surrounding it and framed it. This picture always makes my house a home. Whether I just moved into a place, or if I've been there for years, this picture is the first to go up and the last to come down. This picture serves as a reminder of the love God has for me and what was completed on that cross.
The cross is my foundation and it is where I run to when I am scared, tired, or threatened in any way by the Opposer. There is no way he can move me from the base of that cross and the more he tries, the more solid in my faith I get. My picture of the crosses is not only on my wall, but in my heart. It's simple message stresses the fact that my Lord overcame death by remembering the love his Father has for him, and the love he has for his Father. I know that the foundation of the cross is love, and that is untouchable.

Essay on Reasons to Home School Your Children

Hello all, I know I have told you that my sister and I home school our 6 children but I haven't told you why. You see, it would take too long to post it here on this blog so I posted it on Associated Content's website so you all could view it if you would like to. It's about 4 pages long, so get ready for a kind of long read. If you happen to stop by the site and want to drop me a line or rate my post, please feel free to do so. Some of the topics are a little controversial guys so be prepared for that as well. Thanks for looking and here's the link: www.associatedcontent.com/article/258568/the_seperation_of_home_and_state.html

My Sister the Dork

Hey guys, just sharing a humorous little story with you. I have a nine year old daughter and my oldest sister Theresa has a nine year old daughter. If any of you have one, you know they are concerned about a lot of things at that age, including their fingernails. They ask to paint them every Friday and they try to keep them pretty the rest of the week. Last night my sister Danyiell was feeling very ornery and thought she would play a joke on our girls. We had eaten banana splits for Danyiell's birthday so we had a bag of peanuts that was mostly left uneaten at the end of the night. Danyiell took the peanuts, peeled them and broke them apart. She grabbed Theresa's youngest daughter Hannah, who is four years old and who could care less about her nails, and rubbed the peanut on her little fingernails. Hannah just stood there, letting her Aunt Danyiell rub this nut on her nails and when Danyiell was done she asked Hannah if she could see a difference in the way her nails shine now. Hannah said yes, so Danyiell sent her outside to get the other two girls. My daughter Redemption (9) came in first and Danyiell did the same thing with her. She showed Redemption how to do this every night and had her put the dumb peanut in a bag so she could take it home. Next was Mariah (9) who came in and got the same treatment, same pitch about nightly grooming, and got a bag to take her peanut home in.

All the kids (all 6 of them) spent the night at Danyiell's last night and Danyiell went into her kids' room to check on the brood of kids before calling it a night. She was tickled to death to find ALL THREE girls rubbing the peanuts on their fingernails. Danyiell's husband noticed this same thing and asked Danyiell what the girls were doing, to which Danyiell replied, "they are using the natural oils in the peanuts to make their nails stronger." The confidence in which she said this as well as her disbelief that Sean did not know this convinced even him who said, "oh, okay," and then left the room.

Oh my gosh people!! Can you believe this strange little prank?!

So this morning, we are at Mom and Aunt Shannon's and Theresa decides she will buff Danyiell's nails with a peanut. They laughed as Theresa did one whole hand of nails. As Danyiell compared the buffed nails with the non buffed, she realized the ones that had been buffed were considerably shinier. Ha ha ha, so the joke was on her! Her goofy prank turned out to not be a prank after all.

DISCLAIMER
Danyiell told me to put this little disclaimer in here:
For those of you who are allergic to peanuts or peanut oil... DO NOT try this at home!!!!!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Hand casted memories

Hi all, we went to a S.S. Subs today and we picked up this business card that has a weblink that you guys may want to check out. It is a pretty neat idea. You can get your hand casted as well as your children's hands too. Or you can get your children's hands linked together if that is more what you would like. These are really cute, take a look and see if it might be something you are interested in.
Here's the link:
