We had an incredible Thanksgiving weekend.  It was filled with the sounds of football on the television.  Kids playing outside. Our home getting all holiday-fied, inside and out. We ate turkey, and all the fixins' for days. I took luxurious naps in the afternoon.  It was lovely. I am very grateful for this time in our lives. The hustle and bustle, never knowing who will walk in the door, tripping over dogs, always out of milk, these are definitely the good times.  I know without a doubt that a quite house for me, would be a lonely house. Many people feel differently, I know that.  I like the chaos.  I can find my zen in the midst of the crazy.

Thank God for dirty, sticky, little boys.  Thank God for footballs, rugby balls, basket balls, nerf guns, and legos.  Thank God for puddles, and dirt, and sticks, and critters.  Thank God for smelly dogs, and stinky feet.  Thank God for boys who grow into Men who love women with their whole hearts. Thank God for families, for children, for Parents, for Aunts & Uncles, for Grandparents, for Friends.  Thank God for Christmas lights, and candy canes. Thank you Lord for loving us.  We are so blessed all year long, but I am just filled with amazement at your blessing when I am surrounded by the beauty of the holidays. Thank you.

Networking can be expensive!

I went to a cool women's networking meeting the other night. It was with an organization called Heartlink . It was at some one's house. An awesome dinner was served. Tables set, lovely hospitality, and about 20 very interesting women were there. We each got 3 minutes to introduce ourselves and tell a bit about our business's. Most of the women knew each other already. Many of the women present had business's that sell through direct marketing. Most of the big ones were represented, and a few new ones I had never heard of but found interesting. There were also women with other business's like insurance, legal services, printing, etc... It is great to meet like minded people, and I can definitely see the benefits of attending regularly. The bad part however, is it leaves you wanting to go shopping! All of a sudden, I MUST have the new mango cutter from Pampered Chef, and I am yearning to freshen up my candles, and I NEED a hole new wardrobe from CABi . ...

The Sky is Blue

I want to thank all of you who lift my family up in prayer.  I thank all of you who give us encouragement.  I try really hard to see the cup 1/2 full, and most days I do.  I was feeling a little down last night, but today is a new day.  Blue skies remind me of how much I am loved.  Have an awesome day friends. And.....on a side note.... Go Viewpoint Patriots!!! We are in the playoffs! Wooo Hoooooo!

I believe

I believe....... That marriage is a lifetime gig That it is up to us to take care of those in need, through families, churches, relationships, etc... That family is serious business, parenthood is a gift, a treasure, something to take dead dog serious. That I have a right, and a responsibility to protect my family and those who can't protect themselves, from would be criminals, and anyone else who is attempting to infringe on our rights as stated in our constitution. I believe that without faith in God, and a conscious decision to submit to him, people are lost in a pool of ever changing self centered nonsense, and are subject to what ever the politically correct, hip, educated mantra of the year is. Stuff is awesome, shiny cars, flashy jewels, exotic vacations, are all delightful--- for a little while--then when the shiny wears off, and the financial impact starts hurting--- the result is damage to the most important thing--- family, and submission to God. I bel...
