FUN

Every year we go to Kings Dominion amusement park. This past weekend was it. Last year we took Samantha and Emilie, this year was Haley's turn. Notice I said was....we picked her up and she was crying, she wanted to go but was going to miss her family...her being with us has never resulted in crying. She said her tummy hurt, so we stopped to get her something to eat. We had only driven about 30 miles. She talked to her Mom and everything was good, then she started crying and said her tummy hurt, then she wailed and said it really.... really hurt. Decision time, we turned around and the wailing got louder and screeching about her tummy, I told her she was on her way to see her Mom and Dad, and Brother.....thinking this would help. It didn't. She threw-up.......her mom said she was miserable all day. Kings Dominion wasn't the same this year, we saw different rides and attractions, JB or I would say Haley would have liked this :(
Maybe next year.................
It was so hot there we left eaarlier than we normally would and we are still in a heat wave here at home. I am not a fan of hot weather that is for sure.

A good day for Golf and a Great God Day

Extremely warm on the golf course today, but great fun with the girls. That's a God day. Having fun with friends, spending time together, laughing at faux pas, learning from each other, girl talk, that's a God day.
I am thankful for my friends, some of these ladies are new friends, what fun to have a common thread to build our friendship on.
Actually, all friendships are built on a common thread or interest. It may be your love of movies, books, sewing, or even lunch dates. Friendships also move into seasons of your life, whether you are a new mom, a career minded women (or both), a grandparent, or an empty-nester with no grandchildren. There are so many areas of life that you can build relationships. Find someone or several people to share your life with. You will be glad you did. There is nothing better for me than to surround myself with good people.
Just go out and have yourself a God day.

My August 1st Memory Verse

Job 19:25 NLT

But as for me, I Know my Redeemer lives, and he will stand upon the earth at last.

Do you want to hear something interesting? I just learned this myself.

In ancient Israel a redeemer was a family member who bought a slaves way to freedom or as in (Ruth 3) who took care of a widow.

Let's remove the COLLAR

Before or in case there is any hoopla about the collar JB is wearing I am going to explain it simply.
He is licensed to perform marriage ceremonies, and other events, but this was to perform the marriage of Staci to Walter. The collar was for their benefit and those attending the wedding.

Collar or No Collar, we as Christ followers are all called to minister to all people.
Now about the picture, I just love this picture of JB and myself so there it is until I find one that I like better .

Blessings All.

Rain, I mean a Good Hard Rain

The veggies/herbs love it! It also makes for good sleeping weather. Clears the air. Not much going on but I thought I would drop in for a second.
I did golf yesterday and did well. It was very hot by the time we finished. My friend and I golfed with others the first 9 holes, then she and I finished the last nine.
I also had a meeting last night and fixed a meal for everyone.
Well, I will close for tonight.

Blessings to All!

My memory verse has been:


Psalm 68:19 NLT
Praise the Lord. Praise God our Savior; For each day he carries us in his arms.




I think I can now move on to another verse, I have three memorized. I am going to say the following out loud! I have noticed as I get I find it takes me longer to memorize now that I am older.
