Laudromat

This has absolutely nothing to do with a laundromat either. I am going to learn to put the pictures first, the tell what they are about. For some reason, it will work better that way.

Here is something...a start of the cabinet my DH built for my basement storage for scrappybooking.

Work before Pleasure

I went back to work tonight for the first time in a week on a night shift. I am so tired now. Really ready to find a day job. Please, pray for that day job to show up soon.

Today's calendar

On my calendar from the book "The Power of a Praying Parent" it says, "No matter what age your children are, it's never too early or too late to start praying for their salvation. We want our children to open the door of their hearts to Jesus and experience God's kingdom, both in this life and forever after."

That is basically the just of my whole life as a mother. I do not care if they become successful in this world as much as that they find true peace and a relationship with Jesus. That is far more valuable than any degree or career they can have.

Jim spent the night at the homeless shelter on Friday night. Dan was asking all about the people who were there. I was surprised by his interest. Ryan hung out for awhile at the shelter and visited with the men. I think he may have learned a bit about homelessness, etc.

Dan went to church with us yesterday (it is a requirement of free room and board). I was a little taken back though that he got in line for communion. I hope he really understands the meaning of that and truly believes in his heart what the meaning is. I really wish he would confess his belief if that is really what he believes instead of making such strong statements against it. I guess he will have to decide if being hypocritical is really what he wants to be.

ok, gotta stop blabbbbbering.

Here are some pictures from our Easter. We had Renee, Tom, and Michele over for lunch....oh, and Grandma too (I forget, she is not really here all the time).

Ryan got a duck that quacks "Here Comes Peter Cottontail". It is very cute.....I love that Easter Bunny for bringing such a cute gift to Ryan.

Saturday Before Easter

What is this day called? If Friday is Good Friday and Sunday is Easter, Thursday is Maunday Thursday, but Saturday has no special name?

My niece from Michigan is here visiting. We watched "Princess and the Frog." Not one of the better Disney movies in my book, but tolerable. Of course, I was tired while watching it, that may have helped it not be as good.

Happy Easter!!! Happy Resurrection Day!!!!!!!

Reflections of the Day.....and a day or so ago

Today, what an interesting day. Reflecting on what the day really means, Jesus became sin for me so that I did not have to suffer the death caused by my sin. There will never be a complete understanding in my human finite mind of why this would be. I am thankful that it happened.

We nailed our sins to the cross tonight and tomorrow they will be burned. When we celebrate the resurrection, we will celebrate the forgiveness of sin.

I got my hair cut this week. The next day Dan asked me what I did to my hair. I told him I got it cut. That is really all I had done. He said, "Well, it really 'youthenized' you." I said, "Euthanized?" He said, "Euthanize is what I wanted to do to you before you got your hair cut." He is a funny funny young man.

I love vacation so much, that last night I called my boss and quit my job. Don't really know how we will live, but I am so happy to be free!!
