DRAMA in the House!

This morning while getting ready for school, Grace was in the laundry room getting her bag ready for dance lessons. Laura, Torrey and I were in the living room having devotions. All of a sudden we hear a shriek and Grace blurts out "Who's there!".

Laura said "no one...you're running late...get your bag around!" Not ten seconds later, another shriek and a "Something is in this house and it's following me!" I replied "Nonsense! This house has been locked all night, nothing is following you!"

At this point Grace came into the living room shaking like a leaf..."Can't you hear that noise? It sounds like a bird chirping around my head!" At this point its all we can do to keep our cool, but I calmly said "Grace come here there's nothing wrong." She took two steps and froze in her tracks..."There" two more steps and this time I heard the little bird chirping too...hmmm

"Grace, take two more steps." There it was again...that chirping sound and it was coming from Grace's foot! Come to find out, she'd ruptured the air bag in the heel of her tennis shoe and every time she took a step with her left foot her shoe would "chirp".

Everyone including Grace cracked up! Something WAS following her...a spooky shoe.

It's those little moments of laughter in life we all need to appreciate. They serve as a gentle reminder that the apples don't fall far from the tree! Grace gets her "drama" from me and her mental instability from Laura :-)

Have a BLESSED DAY!

Live life to the full!

Each and every day, live life like it is your last...I do not want to be depressing but life's events this week, have made me think about how short life really is....This week the news from friends has been 3 cases of cancer and one unexpected death! These incidents make me ponder what difference am I making each and every day? What do I do with the time I am given each day to bring glory to God? We only have so much time and we do not have the luxury of knowing how much time that is...so ponder these questions....ask yourself are you using the time you have to love your spouse the way they need to be loved...listen to your kids detail out their day...play with your kids...eat dinner as a family...take the time to talk to someone today who you would not normally talk to...the delivery man, the waitress...love those around you the way Jesus would if He were living your life today. We only have so much time!

Living Life to the Full!

Laugh...it burns calories!

A minister decided to do something a little different one Sunday morning.
He said 'Today, in church, I am going to say a single word and you are going to help me preach...Whatever single word I say, I want you to sing whatever hymn that comes to your mind.'

The pastor shouted out 'CROSS.'

Immediately the congregation started singing in unison, 'THE OLD RUGGED CROSS.'

The pastor hollered out 'GRACE.'
The congregation began to sing 'AMAZING GRACE'

The pastor said 'POWER.'
The congregation sang 'THERE IS POWER IN THE BLOOD.'

The Pastor said 'SEX' The congregation fell into total silence.

Everyone was in shock. They all nervously began to look around at each other afraid to say anything.

Then all of a sudden, way from in the back of the church, a little old 87 year old grandmother stood up and began to sing 'PRECIOUS MEMORIES.'

Gotta Love Little Old Ladies.

Laugh... it burns calories.
