Beautiful, Beautiful

I love this song! For all of us who have experienced the unending grace and mercy of Jesus, we are becoming beautiful through Him!

The Creation (a poem)

I found this poem today, I thought it was a beautiful account of  our Creator in the process of creating the world.      by James Weldon Johnson And God stepped out on space, And he looked around and said: I'm lonely-- I'll make me a world. And far as the eye of God could see Darkness covered everything, Blacker than a hundred midnights Down in a cypress swamp. Then God smiled, And the light broke, And the darkness rolled up on one side, And the light stood shining on the other, And God said: That's good! Then God reached out and took the light in his hands, And God rolled the light around in his hands Until he made the sun; And he set that sun a-blazing in the heavens. And the light that was left from making the sun God gathered it up in a shining ball And flung it against the darkness, Spangling the night with the moon and stars. Then down between The darkness and the light He hurled the world; And God said:

Interesting comment regarding Earth Day

Today when I checked my email, I found a comment left for my blog, and this is how it read: Very cute! (the skirt that is) But why would we want to observe a day that was started by a killer? And furthermore is observed by tree huggers and mother earth worshippers? I am "The Heretic" and I approve this message. When I clicked on the blog link, it was private, so I have no idea who this is. But instead of responding, I decided to see if there was some truth to what they said.

No where did I read anything about it being "started by a killer" and if you find this information, will you please inform me? And as far as the statement that it "is observed by tree huggers and mother earth worshippers", what do you think? My philosophy is that you clean up what you mess up, use only what you ne

There are many ways to celebrate Earth Day! If you hop on over to my dear friend, Javawn's blog , you will read one way in which to recycle or reuse what we already have here. I took her advice recently and made a skirt for Elle. I am still working on it, because I want to find something cute to add to it. But I found a pair of little girls jeans (at a thrift store) and some chiffon (I think) fabric (at the same thrift store) and put them together. So what do you think? Mind you, it isn't finished....

Good Morning, Aunt Paula!!!

This post is done especially for my dear Aunt Paula, who by the way is one of my faithful readers. She called me on Friday, wondering why I haven't updated my blog. So of course, I had my excuses reasons, and since I love my aunt so much, I felt it was time to quit being lazy and post. For some reason I am unable to upload my pictures to photobucket, rock you, etc. Not sure what is going on but I'm investigating. In the meantime, I will just post a few current pictures. We love you, Aunt Paula, and we are looking forward to the next time we see you! To all my other faithful readers, we love you too! :) Yes, Ashley has a ton of candy in her mouth in this pic!
