'ello

Well since my Father, and my Mother both have these amazing blogs, I thought maybe it was time for me to join the gaggle and start mine back up again.  Maybe this will be a good excuse for a few quiet moments during the day, as well as a way for me to keep all my 'followers' updated.  (That's what I call all you faraway peeps.)


Today is my day off this week and so the plan was, to use most of it to try to catch up on some of this cleaning and whatnot.  Trying to get a step up so that the apartment is in tip-top shape for my familia's visit at the end of the month.  (13 days, 10 hours, 54 minutes & 9 seconds according to my countdown.)  I even came up with a checklist, split up according to rooms and what jobs best fit Isaac and I. (And of course color coordinated)  We'll see if it works. 


I was thinking that I'd get some more laundry and shopping done today, but Isaac took the jeep to school so sadly I've had no excuse to stay away from the callings of Suzy Homemaker.  (Except for starting up this blog of course.)  I am looking forward to this afternoon however, you see - Isaac has convinced me that snowboarding would be a most amazing thing to add to my list of experiences, so not only have I started to learn but my Christmas gift was a snowboard & bindings.  To go even further my board is currently in the shop getting a tune up.  This tune up will make my ride faster and smoother.  Although at this point, I haven't been all to convinced that faster is a plus.  


We plan to get a lot of riding in this weekend up at a old ski resort in what the locals call Happy Jack.  (Near Vedawoo if anyone cares to really know)  Hopefully we'll pick my board up tonight and depending on how late we get up to Happy Jack I might let the boys go out and play in their trucks while I give sliding down hills standing on a slippery board another go.  


Which brings me to another point, tonight we are going off-roading in Happy Jack.  Isaac called and informed me that he used his Christmas money to go out and purchase a brand-spanking new CB radio for our jeep.  It'll be nice to have when we go out with the boys. Note: Don't let boys from Arizona drive in the snow distracted.  Last week we spent an hour or so stuck in at least 2' of snow until a whole gaggle of guys showed up to pull us out.  Just another chapter for the book.  


I'll be trying to keep things updated on here as new and exciting things happen in our lives, the next few blogs will probably even include pictures!  Ahh, technology these days.  Amazing!


Till then...

Sitting on a mountain side
I close my eyes
My worries come
This time I let them
I lift them up and He takes them

Sitting on a mountain side
I fold my hands
The stress comes next
I do not ignore it
I lift it up and He accepts it

Sitting on a mountain side
I bow my head
The fears enter
I do not chase them out
I lift them up and He welcomes them

Sitting on a mountain side
I begin to pray
He offers peace, safety and love
I let Him
I take them, I accept them, I welcome them

Sitting on a new mountain side
I close my eyes
I feel the joy come
This time I don’t keep it
I lift it up and He declines it

Sitting on a new mountain side
I fold my hands
The reassurance comes next
I want to share it
I lift it up and He returns it

Sitting on a new mountain side
I bow my head
The Thankfulness enters
I want to offer it
So I lift it up and this He welcomes

Recall Notice

Recall Notice:

The Maker of all Human Beings is recalling all units manufactured,
regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and
central component of the heart. This is due to a malfunction in the original
prototype units code named Adam and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of
the same defect in all subsequent units.

This defect has been technically termed "Subsequential Internal
Non-Morality," or more commonly known as S.I.N., as it
is primarily expressed.

Some symptoms include:
1. Loss of direction
2. Foul vocal emissions
3. Amnesia of origin
4. Lack of peace and joy
5. Selfish or violent behavior
6. Depression or conf usion in the mental component
7. Fearfulness
8. Idolatry
9. Rebellion

- The Manufacturer,
who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing
factory-authorized repair and service free of charge to correct this SIN
defect.

- The Repair Technician, Jesus, has most generously offered to bear the
entire burden of the staggering cost of these repairs.

- There is no additional fee required.

- The number to call for repair in all areas is: P-R-A-Y-E-R.

- Once connected, please upload your burden of SIN
through the REPENTANCE procedure.

- Next, download ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, Jesus, into the
heart component.

-No matter how big or small the SIN defect is, Jesus will replace it with:

1. Love
2. Joy
3 . Peace
4. Patience
5. Kindness
6. Goodness
7. Faithfulness
8. Gentleness
9. Self control

Please see the operating manual, the B.I.B.L.E. (Believers' Instructions
Before Leaving Earth) for further details on the use of these fixes.

WARNING: Continuing to operate the human being unit without
correction voids any manufacturer warranties, exposing the unit to dangers
and problems too numerous to list, and will eventually result in the human
unit being permanently impounded.

- For free emergency service, call on Jesus.

DANGER: The human being units never responding to this recall
action will have to be scrapped in the furnace. The SIN defect will not be
permitted to enter Heaven so as to prevent contamination of that facility.

Thank you for your attention!

GOD

- Please assist where possible by notifying others of this important recall
notice, and you may contact the Father any time by "kneemail."
