To the Most Awesome Pastor's Wife!!!

Happy Birthday To You! There are so many wonderful words to describe you, Sis Young, that I would be here all day. You are an incredible example of what a Godly woman, wife and mother is. You live it and show us how it can be done. Nothing is too hard for you. You lead by example and show us that we are capable of handling whatever comes our way, with God's help of course. Thank you for loving my family and I, we are truly blessed to be under your leadership. I hope you have a fabulous birthday, and may all your wishes come true! (Like eating peanut butter and banana yogurt, with peanut butter topping and bananas at Tops!)

It's a Womans world :)

This is not my typical post, but I needed a good laugh. A friend sent me an email and it said "every woman should read" I thought I would share. Some of you may have seen these before. (disclaimer: these are only jokes, this doesn't happen in real life, husbands and wives always get along and are perfectly sweet to one another) MARRIAGE SEMINAR While attending a Marriage Seminar dealing with communication, Joe and his wife Ann listened to the instructor, 'It is essential that husbands and wives know each other's likes and dislikes.' He addressed the man, 'Can you name your wife's favorite flower?' Joe leaned over, touched his wife's arm gently and whispered, 'It's Pillsbury, isn't it? __________________________________________________________________________ WIFE VS. HUSBAND A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede th

I will be still, and I will behold in my dwelling place (Isa. 18:4 RV)

There is a devotional book I read called Devotions for Evening and Morning. I know many people have this book. I love it! It seems to speak to me when I am going through a situation. Many times it is right on target for my need. I am going to post a portion of yesterday's devotion, it seemed to jump from the pages and I felt that there may be others that could benefit from it as well. Assyria was marching against Ethiopia, the people of which are described as tall and smooth. And as the armies advance, God makes no effort to arrest them; it seems as though they would be allowed to work their will. He is still watching them from His dwelling place, the sun still shines on them; but before the harvest, the whole proud army of Assyria is smitten as easily as when sprigs are cut off by the pruning hook of the husbandman. Is not this a marvelous conception of God - being still and watching? His stillness is not acquiescence. His silence is not consent. He is only bidding His time,

Ok, now here is Ron Jon....

The first picture is Ronnie when he is probably about one. I'm not sure, because the back of the picture doesn't say. It does say, however, that he got caught trying to get into the cupboard where the cookies were kept! This next picture is Ronnie when he was 7 years old. I think Levi and Myles both resemble him in this picture, Levi in looks but Myles in coloring.

So which one of my kids look like me???

My friend, Yvonne, told me it was my turn to post baby pics. OK, so here it goes, this one is me at 6 months old. When I can figure out what is going on with my pictures, I have two more I will post! ok, here is one of me at 5 with my brother, Like the Farrah Fawcett hair do? My mom just got back in church so therefore I still had bangs. Now here is one of me at ten, with a Gunny Sax dress on that my mom made! I think I wore this one every other Sunday night! The hair is the best though, can't you tell I am pentecostal?

Just Age Gracefully!

George Carlin's Views on Aging Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions. 'How old are you?' 'I'm four and a half!' You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead. 'How old are you?' 'I'm gonna be 16!' You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life . . You become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony . YOU BECOME 21 YESSSS!!! But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed? You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put o

Do we limit God?

Reading in Psalms 78, Asaph is retelling the story of the countless miracles God performed for the Children of Israel. How that the sea was divided, the plagues brought on Egypt, manna from heaven, he rained flesh upon them as dust...so they did eat, cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance. Through all this they continued to turn their backs on Him, Ps. 78: "Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel." How many times, we, in our daily lives, limit God? I thought about this for awhile this morning and realized that I can pray and seek God, and ask for a miracle, but if I don't completely trust and believe God can do it, I am limiting Him. Think about how much greater the Children of Israel could have been if they took all restraints off of God and was fully obedient to Him. In Ps. 78:70 it says "He chose David also his servant.." God will find someone with a willing heart, to serve him and do his will.
