I had a discussion with someone about blogging and the question was asked, “What does it profit us?” I thought about that with this blog. Well, I’ve had some ads, some free products for reviews, some gifts (ok lots of gifts) given to me by you wonderful people. That was tangible profit. But I think [...]
If you’ve peeked at my Pinterest boards you may have seen that I happen to really like a certain football team…. Several weeks ago, before the game, I saw this clip on the pre-game show. Even if you don’t love football, please watch it for me–it’s back story for the rest of the post. [...]
Psalm 138:3 As soon as I pray, you answer me; you encourage me by giving me strength.
James and I went to see Courageous yesterday. Lee is working–I told him he MUST go see it. I like all of Sherwood’s movies but I’ll say this one is the best one yet. Really ALL of them are good, but they are figuring out the acting and have nicer cameras now and it really [...]

I’ve mentioned my college days before and I [...]

I was going to save this one for Works of God, but it’s too cool to save. Yesterday, Lee and I were driving around the town I grew up in. We drove past my family’s old home and saw a for rent sign. I said, “We should just call and see how much it is.” [...]
WORKING! Thank you, Lord. I’m praying that this is a real job–not a “we’re done with you in a couple months” job, but even if it is I’ll have to trust the Lord! Thank you for praying for us!!!
