"It was on a Thursday...

SOMEBODY Changed Me. It must have been the hand of the Lord."

And even better is that Today...there is a brand new one that was changed. My nephew was changed today when he accepted Christ in to his life during is Vacation Bible School! I'm delighted in his decision and I so look forward to the details. This is the most important decision he will ever make in his life and how thrilling it is that he made it as a child!

A poem by Janna

For those that don't know, I generally don't understand poetry. I thought it was torture to make me write it through out my schooling. Well yesterday I found that my grandma save a poem that I mailed to her after it had been published in the local paper and the high school literature book. I do believe that even then I thought it seemed like a childish poem. It made me laugh to find it in the things she saved. Perhaps it will make you chuckle also. It isn't intended to give you any points to ponder.
Exalted Events
The proud experiences of the times
Just keep on coming into mind.
Young or old,
Brave or bold,
We all have episodes
Where memories will never erode;
The first time to fly
And see a cloud go by...
And for some,
Having sons...
Parents being able to afford
A college kid's room and board...
Being married 50 years
May be what brings some cheer...
Some can't forget learning to drive
(Can it get to ninety-five?)
You might forget
The usual incident, though
These special moments
Will never go.

***and the funny bonus is that I autographed it for her..lol!

Secular meet church Ideals

I just got this today from yahoo people. Interesting that what we've heard all along in church teachings is what people are sending out through messages now. Honestly, what saddens me more about getting this is that some people have to be told this because of the many bad experiences that they have had. Of course the word that I think it the coolest in it all...is Wait. Now ponder that!

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will stay awake just to watch you sleep. Wait for the guy who kisses your forhead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you. Wait for the one who turns to his friends and says, "...that's her."
