Updates

I haven't blogged for a few days because there haven't been things going on here.

Saturday: We stayed home and watched Thunder on the television becase we weren't going to take the kids into the crowd. It was cold anyway. Dustin, Candice, and Joshua went up to Mom's house. Ryan worked until 6pm and expecting traffic to be bad because of the festivities, came home but got here earlier than ever! It was great to just sit around the house and do nothing. I cooked some pre packaged barbecue shredded pork, smoked sausage with sauteed mushrooms and onions, scalloped potatoes and green beens. We had a picnic in the living room while watching the fireworks (I wasn't very happy with them this year.) . Then we all went to bed.

Sunday: Ryan and I got up and got the girls ready for church. We then went out to Acts Full Gospel Church in Borden, Indiana. This is the church that Mom goes to. When we got there, we learned that Jackie (the preacher's wife) has basically given up on life. Pastor Smith told us that he is refusing to put her funeral in order because that to him would be like him giving up on her. Because Jackie is so sick, Fred played acoustic as the praise team sang. Nana led, Mom, Me, Kenzie, Missy, Devon, and Kimmie were the praise team yesterday. I love singing. I am now looking for a good keyboard to brush myself up on playing it. I am hoping that I can learn how to play all of the praise songs that Jackie played. I want to commit my ability to produce music to the Lord (I took some piano lessons as a child). I also commited my time on Saturday to the Gospel Sing/Fish Fry (that would be the Saturday comming). I am going to donate a cake. I am also going to get there at like 3pm since we start cooking at 4pm. They need all the help they can get. If you have nothing to do and would like to come out for a fun christian fellowship, please don't hesitate to let me know, I will get you directions. We then came home, I made the girls lunch, and then I took a nap. At 5pm I was on my way to work.

Monday: Nothing much happening other than Kenzie went to school and Mama Carrrie (one of the girls I work with) sent her some clothes that her grand daughter had grown out of. I love it when the girls from work send stuff home for my kids. Clothes are so expensive anymore and the kids grow out of them so fast, so I am not too proud to take hand me downs for the kids. And they love them. When Cori sent the ones for Maddie, she thought she was in heaven. She loved getting to see all of the "new" stuff Mommy had brought home for her and the same rings true for Kenzie and the stuff that Mama Carrie sent home this morning. So, when Kenzie got on the bus, I napped until Maddie woke up. And now here I sit with nothing more to say, so enjoy this music video I found.

School is OUT!!!

Today was bittersweet for me.  I am happy its summer break, but that means we only have 2 years before we have a MIDDLESCHOOLER!  I cant believe we are that close already!  Both girls had a great day.  I got soaked walking to get Madispn, then the rain slacked off enough for me to have buckets of sweat rolling into my eyes!  It has been so humid here that i sweat as soon as i go outside let alone walk the more than 1/2 mile to her school.  We are starting a new walking track tomorrow... not sure how far but its gonna be fun to see

sad but true

Since the Pledge of Allegiance and The Lord's Prayer are not allowed in most public schools anymore Because the word "God" is mentioned...... A kid in Arizona wrote the attached NEW School prayer: Now I sit me down in school Where praying is against the rule For this great nation under God Finds mention of Him very odd. If Scripture now the class recites, It violates the Bill of Rights. And anytime my head I bow Becomes a Federal matter now. Our hair can be purple, orange or green, That's no offense; it's a freedom scene. The law is specific, the law is precise. Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice. For praying in a public hall Might offend someone with no faith at all. In silence alone we must meditate, God's name is prohibited by the state. We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks, And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks. They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible. To quote the Good Book makes me liable. We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,...
