God’s Favorite State

With the exception of Yosemite and Alaska*, Colorado is my favorite place on earth. (Yosemite and Alaska each go in their own category as there is no comparing to either of them!) So we are enjoying Christmas in Colorado Springs, and a White Christmas at that! Took this picture out the window of van while driving, and used Mac to touch up. (um, yeah added words too, they weren’t already in the sky!) Luke, keeping warm in chilly Colorado. Luke, still working on his crawling. He has backwards down, still working on forward! Went out to dinner, showed Luke how yummy Cheerios are! Historic Moment: Luke has his FIRST CHEERIO! Soon he is downing a whole little bowl, down on the floor that is. Gave Luke an orange thinking he would recoil, instead, he loved it and chomped on it! Luke’s favorite dinner game, peek-a-boo, or “Help Keep America Looking Beautiful” Just a cute picture of baby sleeping…. before… and after! It’s was a beautiful thing… Mountain Dew in a Frosty Mug! WOW! Discovered A&W carries MD, so I asked if I could have it in a frozen mug, they said no one ever asked for that before…. a new…

Are You Ready?

Thought this video was pretty cool. Wish I knew how to download a video from YouTube, but below is the link. MAKE SURE YOUR VOLUME IS UP! ARE YOU READY?!? This is an awesome video. (Very Short) Enjoy! UPDATE: On downloading YouTube Videos, I tried FireFox extention, and it chokes. But TubeSock is well wortht the $15 registration fee. And here is my MP4 file for you to download of the video above: Are You Ready? Your welcome! (thanks for the comments that helped me find this!)

On the Side of the Road of Life

You can travel to far away places to find beauty and to marvel at God’s creation, or you keep an eye out the side window of your car… if you open your eyes, you may be surprised how often you can spot God’s handiwork in your daily routine, and how often you’ll discover glimpses of his creativity just off your usual path. As I did today, on my way home from jury duty. There was barely a place to stop my car and getting across the busy street on foot was a challenge, but it took only five minutes to capture some of this beauty that others were zooming right past. It makes we wonder how much of life we miss because we never stop to look. I know I’ve been one of the hyper-busy ones for years and the cost of not slowing down sooner was high. (All these images can be viewed much larger by simply clicking on them) Sometimes, (and preferably) we pull over in life intentionally to take in some rest and be refreshed by God’s creation – but at other times the car of life breaks down and we are forced to stop and take…

When I say "I am a Christian"

Once in awhile an e-mail forward actually contains something encouraging instead of spams or scams or jokes or urban legends. If you forward this to everyone in your address book, Bill Gates will NOT send you a dollar for each one. And no, nothing bad will happen to you if you don’t e-mail this to ten friends! When I say… “I am a Christian” I’m not shouting “I’m clean livin’.” I’m whispering “I was lost, Now I’m found and forgiven.” When I say… “I am a Christian” I don’t speak of this with pride. I’m confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide. When I say… “I am a Christian” I’m not trying to be strong. I’m professing that I’m weak And need His strength to carry on. When I say… “I am a Christian” I’m not bragging of success. I’m admitting I have failed And need God to clean my mess. When I say… “I am a Christian” I’m not claiming to be perfect, My flaws are far too visible But, God believes I am worth it. When I say… “I am a Christian” I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of…

From Foolishness to Final Forgiveness

I don’t often post e-mail forwards, but I enjoyed this so much, I just had to share it. I love alliteration, and this little story takes the cake! The Final Fixing of the Foolish Fugitive “Feeling footloose, fancy-free, and frisky, this feather-brained fellow finagled his fond father into forking over his fortune. Forthwith, he fled for foreign fields and frittered his farthings feasting fabulously with fair-weather friends. Finally, facing famine, and fleeced by his fellows in folly, he found himself a feed flinger in a filthy farmlot. He fain would have filled his frame with foraged food from the fodder fragments. “‘Fooey! My father’s flunkies fare far fancier,’ the frazzled fugitive fumed feverishly, frankly facing fact. “Frustrated from failure and filled with forebodings, he fled for his family. “Falling at his father’s feet, he floundered forlornly. ‘Father, I have flunked and fruitlessly forfeited further family favors. . .’ “But the faithful father, forestalling further flinching, frantically flagged his flunkies to fetch forth the finest fatling and fix a feast. “But the fugitive’s fault-finding frater, faithfully farming his father’s fields for free, frowned at this fickle forgiveness of former falderal. His fury flashed, but fussing was futile. “His foresighted father figured,…
