Good Friday

This day Jesus died.

He went to Hell but He really did come back.
He took the key!

God sent his son, they called Him Jesus. He came to live, not sin, and die.

How very strange! Why would anyone care about EACH and EVERY soul? The murderer, the hooker, the good, the bad, and the ugly. So He sent Jesus, His boy, to be a Conqueror. A true, pure sacrifice. A BRIDGE! He made the path for me, and I deserve NOTHING.

I can't make it up to Him. I can't be good enough, or do enough good deeds.

This is the part that makes me chuckle and just have to laugh a little, Jesus said, Believe in Me. That's all. Just Believe I Am

This place we call Earth expects something for something. It expects that if we give, we have to take something. How amazed I am that Jesus wants nothing but for us to believe in Him.

Challenge: Ask God to show Himself to you.

I laugh because people will believe a fortune cookie speaks truth and the horoscope is right on target. Sometimes, I cry because they don't know the Author. Heard of Him, touched Him, but never got to KNOW HIM.

I believe in a Power that is real, alive, and He is the best friend that I got.

God loves to make Himself know to us. He is called Father for a reason. I like to think of Him as my Big Bad Daddy. He has my back.

Thanks for taking the keys of hell. Thank you for taking my sins on yourself. In Jesus name

Box Hunting for the day.

Tax season is quickly showing its ugly demise. I guess I will have to go see the accountant tomorrow. Since we are going to be that close to the beach, might as well hunt some boxes eh? Anyway, we are going to complete our school in the a.m. and then off for an adventure.
Today wasn't as productive as that last few days. Sleep was needed, and I sure did get a lot of it. The kids sweetly let me sleep all day. They didn't wake me because they didn't want to do school. LOL! what is this?

I have almost bought our summer wardrobe. My last purchase is socks for Dylan and Mandy. Mandy needs tennis shoes, but i wonder if she will even wear this pair. Who knows?

Bible study is slacking. I completed the first round of OSHA training, yeah me. Now on to the next course. Enough ramble


We are preparing to leave for the next month, VA is calling our name i reckon. In all fairness, the kids really enjoyed that place. Liberty Church is huge. Lots of opportunities for the kids to join in and learn some new stuff. Excited for them. I am excited too. I have to be very honest I liked the town. Even if it is VA. Hopefully we will see Washington before heading home.

May this trip be great, and may all of us work hard at the jobs we have.

Easter Approaches

This has been our recent few precious days that the kids and I have had spent hanging out with each other.


1. Painting- Tonight the kids and spent about an hour before bed painting. Talking about the cross a little bit. Talking about Easter. I, for one, LOVE TO PAINT EASTER EGGS. I cant help it. The messier the better. Just saying, and coming up soon I am sure we will have pictures to come of our creative masterpieces.
2. Dirt bike riding- Spring has sprung and the grass has left the yard. No need for a lawn mower, but "Popsicle wrappers must go into the trash can"


I have had to buy clothes once again. Shorts, shirts, and new crocs. I must say a big Thank you God. everything we bought has been wearable! Except the pink crocs... Granny Dukes is heading to exchange those tomorrow.

Other than trying to sort through everything, learn about their school, cook, feed, and clean. I have been doing absolutely nothing! Well, sort of. :)

Easter approaches

Good Eveing

My kids are in their own beds. Spring Break was pretty good I believe. The younger kids were here and playing with their toys. Rambling about life and how they see it. One says I just want a motor home. I want to get in and drive it away. The other cousin said yeah you don't even have to bother with payments for a house.
By then I was so curious where this was headed. He yells debt free.

Where do they come up with this stuff? I am amazed at the simple aspects that seem so perfectly right. Lol, learn from the elders, but listen to the child. HA HA

WHOA!!!!

I will have to say a public I am sorry.

I have been extremely, umm, MEAN!

I have got to shake this bad, negative, blah feeling. It has given me an ulcer. Not kidding. For one single week, I have been overloaded with sadness, guilt, and down right hate. My mind did not want to pick myself up. I wanted to pout, throw stuff, (btw i didnt throw anything.) shoot I am glad everyone left me alone. God puts you right where you need to be. I think He gets us to where we can see only our own faults. Purging. Thats a great word for my week.

Dealing with loss, has never been easy nor something I would face. i do a great job ignoring and forgetting what ever I find difficult. I thought my many years of being sad and hateful were over. But this past week, it has peeked his head out again. Familiar spirits, causing much grief and despair. I welcomed it too.

I let it all happen, and i Let it rule.

It was awful. Unproductive. CRAPPY!

well, now that's it is over, I will get back at it and try again.
