July 4th

Today is the 4th of July. Independence Day. In KIDS Church Sunday we sang a song called "I Am Free". I am free to dance, I am free to run, I am free to live for You my King, I am free. Today was a great day, I spent a large part of it with my B.F.F. and we went shopping, one of my favorite things to do. It seems like everyone freaked out because the 4th was on a Wednesday this year. Was this the only time it has ever been on a Wednesday? NO... They were talking about it on the radio, the T.V and a lot of stores closed at 6:00P.M. They don't even close that early on Christmas Eve. I think they just felt cheated because it wasn't a three day weekend. Not me, I'll take it anytime. This week I has a CD that I use in KIDS Church go missing, it is one that cannot be replaced and has songs and puppet skits to coordinate with the cirricumlum. I was saddened. I looked everywhere, my house (3 times), my car (twice), the classroom. I had friends looking for it too. It was indeed lost or so it seemed. I found it, in the classroom where several of us had searched. We had prayed and I ask God to cause it to float to the surface the way He caused the ax head to float up in the Bible. I believe God made it rise up. How can that many people miss it? It made me wonder about how many other things the enemy may have hidden from us that we have either searched for and given up or have never known existed because we don't see. How many times have I said my son is lost, when in fact I know exactly where he is. He is not lost, he is rebellious. The word lost implies an impossibility. Think about it. We say it's a "lost cause" I know he belongs To God and he will return to his first love. Anyhow, I'm listening to my normally quite neighbor shoot fireworks, guess I'll go watch the show.

WOW! From beninnig to end. We all take advantage of our freedom. Especially our spiritual one. Which is under attack at this very moment. We don't know hom much longer we will be able to attend church freely, read our bibles, freely, or praise the Lord freely. But for now, as the song goes... I am free! Praise the Lord! I-AM-FREE! God is a great God and nothing is impossible for Him! And one thing I have learned, is that things are not lost, just misplaced! THANK YOU LORD!
God bless this country and pray that it returns to the values and morals, and most importantly by the Word of God that it was founded on!

Why

A few thoughts I've been pondering....... Why do people pull out at an inter section. look and see me headign their direction and wait till I'm almost at their spot to pull out in front of me. Is it more challenging to them to see how close a casr can get without getting hit? Why is it that when there are two lanes and one is ending and I need to merge the person next to me takes it as a personal challange to keep me from merging in front of him/her ? Why have I found my hand in the windshield forming the "L" (for loser) with my fingers more this month then in my entire life combined ? Why is it that when I call certain people, regardless of how long it's been since I've called or what time it is, they always act annoyed that i've bothered them? Why do I allow people to manipulate me ? Why are people so mean? Why do I post these stupid blogs that no on responds to? (Except for Cyndee)

dog kisses

This morning I was awakened by my sweet little dog. Normally when the alarm rings she goes futher under the covers. Not this morning, she was wide awake and insisted that I do the same. She was nuzzeling her head into my face and trying to give me kisses. I sucessfully blocked them. I got up and let her out back where she ran and leaped and was so happy and full of life. I thought how in the heck does someone do that first thing in the morning and finally just signed it off to her youth. Now as I sit here I started thinking about it again. She is so happy to see me at lunch and in the evening. She is content with her life! She knows she is loved and wanted . It's not so much that she is young and full of energy, but she is living. I am too! I sometimes give myself the excuse that I'm to old for certain things or it's too late. No! Jesus said, "Choose life". Things are moving along with Kevin, I see major changes yet I am guarded. You know, fool me once.
