Sick
I've been sick now for over a week, have this awful cough and can't get rid of it. I think I have been running a low grade fever also. Cough so much until it makes my head hurt and it just makes me feel yuck. Poppa has the same thing, so not sure what it is. Hope Morgan doesn't come down with it.
Missing my Emily Rhyse so bad.
Love, Bella

Blessed Beyond Measure
I was thinking today (I know, can you believe I was actually thinking) how blessed we are. We live in a country where we are allowed to gather in Jesus' name without fear of the government hauling us all off to jail. We have a roof over our head, we have more than enough food to eat (you can just look at us and tell that), we have running water in our homes and electricity. Our kids are allowed to get an education in order to better themselves, instead of looking for food at the local dump or farming for it, or having to get a job to help support the family.
I think of these types of things when I hear kids, including mine, complain about cleaning up their rooms, or helping wash dishes after we eat. There are children in the world that do not have a room of their own to keep clean or enough food to eat, much less a dish to put the food on that needs to be washed.
We, as Americans, have spoiled our children. We have made them "bad" - no one else did that, just us, all because we didn't want them to go through what we did as kids or have to do all the chores that we were assigned to do. But, we, instead, are raising lazy children who do not know how to do anything, and they certainly don't want to contribute to the household by doing a few odd chores. Instead, it is facebooking and myspacing on their own personal computers; and texting on their own cell phones. We have literally ruined our children.
Need I remind you that these are the same children that will be taking care of us when we are old and not able to care for ourselves. They are our future; they will be running this country; they will be making decisions for all of us.
I pray that God puts a fire under our well-fed butts to start raising our children they way He set out for us in his Word. Jesus, please forgive me for raising such lazy children and help me to get them back on track.
In Jesus' sweet name, Amen!

CMA State Rally/Seasons of Refreshing at The Hub, Marble Falls, Arkansas
This past weekend, April 17 - 19, 2009, my husband and I attended the CMA State Rally/Seasons of Refreshing at The Hub in Marble Falls, Arkansas. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, mountains, curves, and we saw a beautiful rainbow. Services were awewsome, as always. It was a great time in fellowshipping with all our CMA friends, and worshipping the Lord.
Poppa and I, during a break, went to Mystic Caverns and took the tour through the two caverns - it was awesome, and we saw a little bat. We spent a lot of much needed time together, without all the distractions that we normally have. It was very refreshing.
Thank you Jesus for the wonderful weekend!!
