God...and Rudy....and Me

The other day, Ben took the kids to the park and I had a few minutes by myself at home. I did a few things I needed to do and then sat down and decided to see if there was anything fun to watch on tv. I found the last few minutes of the movie Rudy. I had seen it a long time ago and knew that the part I was catching was the best part of the whole movie. So I watched. Cried. Felt good. And then the final scene comes on...all the football players pick up Rudy and put him on their shoulders and carry him off the field.

Something right away snapped in me and I began to wonder if that is what I should feel like everyday as a believer...like God is carrying me on His shoulders.

I have been pondering that thought for several days and have decided that maybe by plunking away on this keyboard, I would get some perspective on the answer. I think I am getting that perspective...and I think the answer is YES! He is carrying me everywhere I go. His hands are on me...His eyes are watching over me...His Holy Spirit is guiding me.

Praise God for that!

Inviting Company Sale

For those of you in Little Rock, the Inviting Company is having their sale Feb.5-7! I understand that last time, there wasn't much left by Saturday (half price day), so you'd better get there early on Thursday!

I wish I were there to get things. But I might have to send money up to a friend and have her stand in for me! There are no deals like Inviting Co. deals.

Boy Play?!

I hear the garage going up and down the other day and it is beginning to frustrate me. What is going on? Who is doing that? Why? I run downstairs, go outside, and this is what I see. Kally is pushing the button, while Rainey "rides" the garage door as it opens! Are you kidding me? This is what constitues "boy play" around here. (I need to add that they will never do this again after Ben got spoke to them.) :)

Light Sabre Battle

Rainey came at me with his light sabre, ready to slice through my legs and knock me down to size. Fortunately, I had my light sabre with me, hidden in my pocket! It's always handy to have around...who knows when you're going to be attacked by some alien wanting to hurt you? I must say that I won that battle and still have my legs attached!

Rawley's Prayer

This morning before we started school, I asked Darby to pray for our day. Then when she was done, Rawley said he wanted to pray also. So we all bowed our heads and this is what was said just exactly like he said it:

DearGod,
Thank you to our world. Keep us all safe. I am working on school, on my numbers. Keep the numbers safe. I have to do it. Mom makes me. Thank you for the tv. Keep it safe. I like to watch it. It's fun. (At this point Rainey chimes in, "say in Jesus' name, amen.) (Then Rawley continues..) I am not going to say in Jesus' name. I am not done yet.

We all laughed and then I helped him end the prayer. It was pretty funny.

City of Ember...A Must See

I don't usually recommend a lot of movies, but Ben and I saw one last night that was really good! It was City of Ember. From beginning to end, it was action-packed, interesting, and kept us wanting to watch. There was not one bad word. Not one sex scene. Not one nude/partially nude scene....and yet was captivating.

I would recommend that you rent it...soon.
