Revival Services...

For those of you who read my blog, please remember our church in your prayers during the coming week. LifeAction Revival team will arrive on Friday evening for an 11 day revival summit a HBC. God is working already. How do I know this, because He is working on me! I'm getting excited about what God has in store for me as well as for our church. When you think of me, remember to pray for us. God wants to work and I'm praying He will be allowed to change lives next week. I'll keep you posted....

Haiti and other thoughts....

I've become glued to the news these last few days. The country of Haiti is suffering. The orphans of Haiti are suffering. I've wept and prayed for these children who in many cases are simply waiting for the "governments" to allow them to be united with their forever families. The paperwork is complete. The parents are waiting. The children are waiting.....waiting....waiting. And what are they waiting on? GOVERNMENTS! There, I've said it. I'm mad. I'm angry that GOVERNMENTS have caused these innocent babies to be put in harms way simply because of RED TAPE. I'm about to say something that I will probably regret but if Brown defeats Coakley in the Massachusetts Senate race tomorrow, I'm throwing a party at my house and you're all invited! WHEW! Now, on to some good news. It seems that the State Department, under pressure from News Organizations, is looking into the problems and from what I can understand, these children are about to be delivered to their families. I'm thankful to God for that. Please continue to pray for the orphans in Haiti as well as orphans across the globe. It is our responsibility as Christ Followers to care for these children and to PRAY!

Ramblings....

How many times must I watch "You've Got Mail" to get enough! I cry every time! I mean, it just gets me when she's waiting in the park and she hears the dog bark and the all of a sudden, there he is. Can it get any more sappy than that. I must say, I've seen the ending probably 15 times....I just love that movie. Anyway, enough of that. Today is warmer...a toasty 39 degrees! WHOO HOO! I'm really ready to get out of this house for a while with the girls. They ask every day when we can go play tennis and go to the park. I'm steadily checking the weather channel to see what the 36 hour forecast says for our area. I checked out a couple of clothing websites today looking for deals on winter fare and their headlines read......SPRING HAS ARRIVED! NOT! I realize it's just around the corner but for now, I still need my fleece pj's. Enjoy the Wintertime folks!

Ordinary

Saturday's in our house are always unpredictable. Sleeping late is usually on the agenda and breakfast, well, that depends on how late we sleep. So today, the menu was pancakes and sausage... even though I prefer bacon, CDP loves sausage. Normal breakfasts consist of yogurt or oatmeal, cereal or toast. This morning was special but not for any particular reason. After breakfast we all got dressed for a sweet little girl's birthday party and to be out for most of the day. The day was beautiful but cold and after the party, errands took us to Memphis and Southaven before returning home. Sounds pretty ordinary huh?. I guess my intent for this blog post is to share that the ordinary at times is most extraordinary. All I want to do is encourage anyone who reads this blog to enjoy being together with your family. If the day only brings breakfast and errands, embrace the ordinary and make it
extraordinary. You do realize the difference between ordinary and extraordinary....that little "extra". The extra could be nothing more than pancakes and sausage for breakfast! Enjoy Sunday, The Lord's Day....Worship Him!

Pardon our progress....

Ok, I guess you can tell I've been trying to "update" my blog. I'm officially posting the sign "Under Construction"! After spending most of Tuesday peering through computer "code" I finally managed to download a new font. However, I now see a few errors and will need to go back and rummage through to find out the problem. Since the temp outside is 13 degrees, I'm thinking today is a good day to try and finish. So, pardon our dust as we try to make this blog fit for blogging....
