  • Facebook

    Well, it's been a while since my last blog...  I think that I have become a facebook junkie.  I never thought that it would happen, but it did.  When I first started all of this I didn't think that I would blog at all, I only joined to leave someone a comment, but then I started to blog and I liked it.  I didn't blog everyday, sometimes not even once a week, but I liked reading everyone elses blogs and occationally writing one of my own.  I still enjoy it, but most of my xanga friends rarely blog anymore.  I didn't used to understand when everyone would comment that facebook is easier, but I get it now.  You can just leave a short comment and people either respond or they don't, but you haven't spent a lot of time writing something that maybe no one will even read or comment on.  The thing that I really like about facebook is that so many people are on it that you can connect with people from your past very easily as well as people from your present.   Recently I located a cousin on facebook that I haven't see in over 30 years.  I had thought of her often, but due to circumstances we lost touch a long time ago.  I didn't even know where to start to find her and then I stumbled acrossed her on facebook.  I've also conected with friends from highschool on facebook.  I guess the thing that I like most about blogging on xanga is that it is a record for myself.  Even if no one else reads my blogs, it gives me a record of what has been going on in my life since I joined.  So even though, I have to admit I love facebook, I think that xanga still serves a purpose.  It's where I talk from my heart and record my thoughts, my ups and downs.  It's more personal for me.  Thanks xanga!

  • Jesus Paid It All!

    Have you ever thought about what that truely means?  Jesus Paid it ALL!   He took on himself all of our sin, ALL!  When we mess up, all we have to do is ask for forgiveness and it is there.  Why?  Because Jesus paid it ALL!  The debt was already paid on Calvary!  How awesome is that?!?!?!  Sometimes I think...why does God keep forgiving me for the same sin over and over and over again?  It's because Jesus paid it ALL!  Why does God forgive us for neglecting Him, or for not reading His Word?  Why does He forgive us for being unkind to others or for any of our sins?  Because Jesus paid it ALL!  It is overwhelming to think about it.  He loved us so much that He suffered on the cross for us .  It's hard to imagine anyone going through such torture for another person, but Jesus did it because He loved us and to pay our sin debt.  The least we can do is show our appreciation in a life of service for Him.  I feel truely humbled and unworthy thinking about it.  Jesus Paid it ALL!!!!  My account is marked PAID IN FULL!!!  How about yours?

  • Happy Easter!

     Today was a good great day!  Becky was home from Virginia for the weekend so all of my kids were here.  We had a great service at church this morning.  Our choir did a presentation with songs about the crucifixion and resurrection with dialog and preaching interspersed throughout.  At the end I believe 2 men came forward at the invitation to get saved.  All of my kids were there as well as my parents and my sister and her kids including one of my nephews that we haven't seen in over a year.  Afterwards it was back to our house for lunch and family time.  Then at 5:30 I had to run Becky to the airport so she could head home : (.  Over all a great day though. 

    A few pictures of my kids...

  • Home Sweet Home!

    I arrived home on Tuesday afternoon and have been spending the last couple of days catching up with things here.  My dogs were so excited to have me home.  Andy was even more excited.  He really missed me .  The flight home was great.  I flew through NYC and as we were flying into Laguardia I happened to be on the right side of the plane to see the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan Skyline.  It was so cool.  I love to look out the window when I fly.  Especially for take off and landing.  It was kinda funny because the people who were sitting close to me obviously did not enjoy it as much as I did.  During take off and landing they were sitting with their eyes closed trying not to pay attention and then there was me with my eyes glued to the window taking it all in.
