This blog entry is for my father-in-law. He’ll probably never know I wrote it but I may tell him some time.
My husband and I used to live in an apartment on Brookside in Tulsa, Oklahoma when our boys were small. We only had one car and Danny would take it when he went to work at the Optical shop. We were in the beginning years of starting our family.
Herndon’s Famous Book
Today I learned of an interesting person in history whose name was William Lewis Herndon. He lived from 1813 to 1857 to the age of 44.
God Of Wonders
May the God of Heaven and Earth completely fill your soul with His great peace.
Ginny and I can have fun singing this song. It’s God of Wonders by Third Day/Caedmon’s Call. The video is peaceful to look at because it shows alot of beauty and majesty of the earth and outerspace.
For Us
Charles Spurgeon is one of the most trusted modern preachers of the Bible. God has used him to inspire many different Christians in all walks of life. Here is a devotion I found on the Back to the Bible website today. God Is For Us:
The Retro Elephant Joke Book
I bought a 10 cent paperback book I’ve been excited and wanting to tell you about. It was published by scholastic books in 1969 and it’s contents were compiled by a junior high kid who boldly went into the editor in chief and told him why his book really needed to be published. It’s original price was 45 cents. Darn, I only paid a mere 20% of the original price. I wanted to save a more ridiculous amount than that!
New Life Live!
My sons are beginning their teenage years. Teenagers are kids in a grown up body. They look grown up and their bodies have the functions of an adult but they have the maturity of a kid. They are constantly encouraged by our society to do immoral things that have the appearance of the good life but are very deceptive and wrong. Throughout my children’s lives I have been praying for them in their teenage years.
I have discovered a way to expose my kids to stupid decisions that people have made without exposing my children to any possible admiration for the individual who did wrong. There is a live program that comes on the radio at 5pm everyday (KCFO is the local station). It is called New Life Live!
The Birds of America
I bought an old book written in 1946 called Fifty Famous Americans. Each day I read to my kids an interesting person who made an impact on America. Today we learned about someone I never really learned about before.
His name is John James Audobon.
Hidden Treasure Shop
I’d seen the shop before. It was across the street from a large thrift store but never looked appealing enough to check out. It looked like a small one room store and I figured it would just have a few picked over items.
I decided to go there.
17 Year Old Poem
As I was cleaning today this poem on folded notebook paper fell out of the sleeve of an old college shorthand book I was giving away to Goodwill.
Psalm 91
I’ve prayed Psalm 91 as a prayer on and off for the past 20 years of my life! I had forgotten about it in the past year or so. But now it’s time to pray it again because a couple of things have popped up in our life that are found in this passage. I will pray the words of Psalm 91 first of all, for my family and then for our soldiers fighting the War on Terror.
