● Challenge your children to come up with 5 things they'd like to learn before they leave home.
Posted in:
1) Give God what's RIGHT -- not what's LEFT.
2) Man's way leads to hopeless end; God's way leads to endless hope.
3) A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing.
4) He who kneels before God can stand before anyone.
5) In the sentence of life, the devil may be a comma, but never let him be the period.
6) Don't put a question mark where God puts a period.
7) Are you wrinkled with burden? Come to the church for a faith-lift.
8) When praying, don't give God instructions -- just report for duty.

On my desk is a movie unlike any I have seen in recent memory. It's called "Border", and it's the one movie many in Washington don't want you--or anyone else to see.
Why?
Because it tells a true story. It's not Hollywood fiction with a happy ending. "Border" is a raw firsthand video record of one man's journey to our borders and the unspeakable horrors that he found.

Gas price is continuously increasing right now. Which one you preferred, step by step increase ( Weekly ) or Bulk increase ( One time )?
I'll go with a step by step increase since I can save from it compared to one time increase.

I LOVE this song! It never seems to get old. Even though it is not a "Christian" song, it reminds me that with our Good Lord backing me up, I can beat the enemy at any game he wishes to throw my way.

Does anyone listen to Christian music? If so, what is some of your favorite songs? Artists? Bands? And what is the song that most inspires you today?

I love reading hints and tips to help me save money or cut back on time consuming jobs. Do you know of any that are helpful. If you do please comment and add them. Here are the ones I can think of right off the top of my head and then I'll comment more as I think of them.
1>If you use dryer sheets you can cut them in half and only use half a sheet per load. It works just as good.
2>If you use liquid fabric softener then just get an old rag and pour a dab on it and throw it in the dryer.

This weekend we will finish getting everything out of my parents' house. They both have passed away and I am an only child. My hubby and kids and their families have helped me get things moved out. This weekend should end the move.
