How Bad Will It Get?



How is it that we have allowed things to get so bad that we can't even count on there being rice on the shelf at the grocery store? Obviously we, in America, are very fortunate and don't even need to have rice in order to sustain our people. Many countries are not so fortunate. What is a simple inconvenience for us is a real threat for many people throughout the world. Many rely on rice for much of their nutrition.

Props To Jungle Mom For This One




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.

Mmmmm!!!


Anyone out there got some butter and crackers and a skillet?

I Hope the Price is Right!


The Chiefs will receive Minnesota's first and both of its third-round picks as compensation. The teams also swapped spots in the sixth round, with Minnesota getting Kansas City's 187th overall pick, and the Chiefs getting the Vikings' 182nd selection. The Chiefs gained five spots in the sixth round to go along with the 17th, 73rd and 82nd overall picks. This seems like it has the potential to be worth the cost as the Chiefs need to be rebuilt this year. The Chiefs will now have 13 picks in the NFL draft. Jared Allen will certainly be missed here in Kansas City as he was one of very few bright spots for us last season. We wish him well in Minnesota and thank him for his service here.

Ought To Be


It's so very sad to me. Life is just so bent. God has written His story on our hearts so that we know when things are not as they ought to be. "Things like this ought not happen." How many time have you heard those words? Everyone knows this because everyone has God's story written on their hearts whether they acknowledge it or not, whether they love the story or hate it. The Bible says that creation groans and suffers and as a part of that creation I can feel the suffering and long for a day when creation will be renewed and set right. A day when things will indeed be as they ought to be.

I Corinthians 13:12 -- "Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known."

Heartbroken!

If this man here is to blame............



.........why are these women the ones to be stripped of their children?



This is certainly an intricate situation but the thought of me being without my children saddens me to the point of tears. There will be blame enough to go around to all parties but why must the children be the fulcrum on which the parties exert force on one another? Even though it is unclear who holds the roll of "guilty" it is crystal clear that the children bear the brunt of the punishment.

Birthday Update


We're having a great day!!! Kim and the girls let me sleep in this morning until almost 10:00 AM. Normally my alarm goes off at 5:15 AM. After a breakfast consisting of chocolate donuts that my girls picked out for me we went to the mall. A carousel ride, a walk through the Disney store and we were back on the road. On our way home we stopped at a couple of garage sales and got some clothes for the girls and some jars for canning. After lunch the girls took a nap and Kim and I got a little bit of quiet (and yet a little rowdy) time together. This afternoon was nice outside and the girls put their artistic skills to work to draw a picture of me in chalk. If this doesn't sound like your ideal birthday, I apologize. For me it was perfect!!! After all, what are birthdays for if not for showing the ones that we love that we truly KNOW them. This lazy day was a gift for me and I will treasure it. Thank you family for your love!!!
