Steadfast

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. Isaiah 40:8

This is one of our VBS memory verses this week and one of my favorite verses. It speaks of God’s creation and reminds me of His loving care in everything He does. God is the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. He is eternal yet always with me. Hallelujah!!

Simple Woman’s Daybook

FOR TODAY July 14, 2008…

Outside My Window…It is dark but the moon is shining bright. The frogs in the pond are humming their nightly tunes and the bugs are chirping their harmonies. God’s symphony…nothing better!

I am thinking… that I hope I can get the jpg button above to link properly.

I am thankful for… My husband who works hard and provides for us so generously and unselfishly.

From the kitchen… The kitchen is closed now.

I am wearing… My pink knit nightgown printed with cherries and cherry blossoms.

I am creating… this round ripple afghan for my oldest son. I am about half finished now.

I am going… I done went.

I am reading… 2 Timothy

I am hoping… that I can stay awake until hubby gets home from work.

I am hearing… a Veggies Tales CD for the bazillionth time.

Around the house… Next to me sits a basket of clean laundry that is desperate for my attention.

One of my favorite things… Since this is my first Simple Woman Daybook post, it only seems proper that I mention “Chocolate”.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: It is VBS week at church and my week will revolve around that.

Here is picture thought I am sharing…

We’re just a bunch of nuts.

DS 2 is a Hazelnut

You Are a Hazelnut

You are very unique and distinct. You may even freak some people out. Most people don’t really know how to interact with you. You get along best with anyone who is super sweet. But you really do get along with almost anyone. You just need a chance to wow them.

What Nut Are You?

DS 1 is, like his mother, a peanut.

You Are A Peanut

You are popular, even with people who tend to have picky taste. Kids love you, as do dogs. From rednecks to snobs, most people have a place for you in their hearts. As popular as you are, there are some people who can’t be near you. Don’t take it too personally. There’s just a few people you rub the wrong way.

What Nut Are You?

Hubby didn’t want anything to do with the nut test, so I took it for him. It turns out that he is the biggest nut of all.

You Are a Walnut

You are down to earth and genuine. Responsible and practical, you are a grown up in all aspects of your life. You probably eat a healthy diet and get enough exercise. And while you’re not wild, you’re not boring either. You’re actually very deep and interesting.

What Nut Are You?

Thanks Elaine for the nut quiz!

My Bear is a grampa

My youngest son, (Bear) is loosing teeth by the handful. It is a good thing b/c his permanent teeth are coming in faster than he is loosing baby teeth. His dental hygienist gave him an ultimatum, yesterday, with two of his loose teeth…..you pull ‘em within two weeks or “WE” will! The first one was out within an hour of being home from the dentist!

He was proudly holding up a handful of 3 teeth to his father last night. He, the boy, also copped a few pennies from Daddy’s pocket change. (this is a regular occurrence around here, as pennies go into the missionary jar) For some reason, unbeknownst to us parent folk, big brother was incessantly calling his little brother. Out of frustration, Bear hollars back, “JUST A MI-NUTE, LET ME SET DOWN MY TEETH AND PUT MY CENTS AWAY!”

Twosey Tuesday #2

Sometimes being #2 stinks. But….sometimes it doesn’t….there isn’t any pressure, the ice has been broken, the first bad joke has already been cracked. Here ya go anyway, Twosey Tuesday, Round Two — DING!

Two Favorite Beverages

perfect cappuccinos delivered to my bedside every morning

once upon a time, I might have said a margarita, but I really and always have preferred Diet Coke

Two Things You Ate Today

a handful of peanuts

that is all - but I’ll have a real breakfast soon

Happy Fourth of July 2008

“Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb denying enforcement of the vote.” — Benjamin Franklin

“I consider the government of the U.S. as interdicted by the Constitution from intermeddling with religious institutions, their doctrines, discipline, or exercises.” — Thomas Jefferson

“We have staked the future of government not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all of our political institutions on the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.” — James Madison

Happy Birthday United States of America!
Land that I love. I still stand beside you and pray to guide you through the night with a light from above. America, bless God.

Twosey Tuesday

Some of my evenings are very quiet. Up until now, this evening has not been particularly so. We had chocolate ice cream, peanuts, and Reddi-Whip for dinner (I really wanted popcorn, but didn’t have any) and then went for a swim and watered the garden. Now, it is fixin’ to be quiet…..aaahhhhh!
In my inbox there is one of those emails. You know the ones; the fill in the blank space with your favorite book, flower, sappy childhood memory….yeah, I knew you knew what I was talking about.
So, guess what….I want to play one b/c it is really too quiet around here. I’ve named it Twosey b/c there are TWO questions. I’ve named it Twosey Tuesday b/c I want to do this next Tuesday, too. Oh I know! I feel your enthusiasm and glee!
