I'm lost in reading

It took me 3 days to complete Redeeming Love. A beautiful love story about God's love, forgiveness, and redemption. Now I have moved on to Dee Henderson's the Negotiator.

I read chapter one and I think that I am having withdrawals of Redeeming Love. I think I need at least a day to let the first book absorb into my little brain.

I am enjoying book reading over going out into the chaos of shopping. Besides we are all done anyway. This is true relaxation at this point. Now if I could get my sleep schedule back to normal....

Yes!!!

It's Christmas vacation!! Can I get a big sigh of relief! Besides shopping and spending money I don't have, one thing I am determined to do it read. Relax with a cup of Starbucks and float into a good novel. My very good friends or I should say "Sisters" gave me an amazing novel to tackle.



I read the first chapter during lunch and I'm hooked. This book runs right up my alley. The back covers pretty much sums it up "A powerful retelling of the book Hosea, Redeeming Love is a life-changing story of God's unconditional, redemptive, all consuming love."

It is a must read. Ladies, if you get the opportunity or just want to read a good novel to escape from the hustle and bustle, check it out!

Our First Junior Lions Home Game

I am posting pictures of far away shots since all of my Juniors are under age. I want to respect their parents privacy and yet show off how well they did last night!!

I like this above pictures. Greg was trying to fix the color and somehow messed it up. So he saved it in black and white instead. I think it is a pretty cool looking action shot. That is Shelly on the left just after a toe touch.

These are my girls doing a "Teddy Bear" stunt. They were beautiful.

We are the Lions!

Isn't she beautiful......

Here we are ladies and friends! At last, the long awaited Cheerleading pictures!! We has so much fun at this photo shoot. I don't know who was more excited, her or I!

I got in trouble with the Hubby!!

So, as you notice, I tried to change my background, wall , face or whatever you call this Christmas scene. It's only half done because.... my husband got on me about the fact that I was downloading spyware onto my computer. Whatever whatever that means. So, I'm asking for help! Carly, Erin....how did you make your sites look so good? How do I fix mine without downloading spyware?

WordForMyDaughter

Just joking!

Over the Thanksgiving break, Shelly practiced almost everyday singing her Romanian Christmas music for her upcoming school chapel. First off, I would like to say that I am biast,and I believe that Shelly has a great singing voice. I love to listen to her sing. So to listen to her practice in Romanian, wow!

So, one night while she was singing in the shower, I recognized a familiar sound. It was Romanian so I couldn't understand it, but it sure sounded familiar. Shelly got out of the shower and I asked her if she was signing Amazing Grace in Romanian. She cheerfully answered, yes! Amazing Grace happens to be one of my most favorite hymns. Ever since we saw the movie Amazing Grace, I gained a whole new respect for the song. So to hear her sing that song, I melted. Tears and all.

Naturally, I would have to go to school the next day and telly everyone just how proud I am of my daughter. Then, I told Mr. G, her teacher. He looked at me funny and said that the class is not learning that song. He said that if she was able to sing it, that would be great.

Later on the way home from school, I asked her to sing it again to me. She wasn't quite sure what I was talking about. She said, " Do you mean that song I made up in the shower?" I'm sure you could imagine my reaction as I was ticked at her! I asked her why she told me that she was singing that song? "Mommy, I was just joking!"

Not a joke to me...... she bursted my "proud" bubble not to mention the embarrassment of having to go to school to tell everyone that she was joking!

Lesson learned, do not gloat, and do not be proud as it always comes back to haunt!
