My first Vlog, ya’ll!
Monday, October 5th, 2009AP Honor’s Scholar
Friday, October 2nd, 2009I stopped by the Library at school today to read the paper. Imagine my surprise when I opened it up and saw my Sweetboy’s picture?! There he was……being honored for his accomplishment’s during his high school career. While he was a student at JCHS he took several AP classes and tested very well.
It’s quite an honor to be recognized for such hard work. He wasn’t the only student taking these classes. But only one of eight outstanding. That is so cool!
A few weeks back, he received the actual award in the mail. I opened it and immediately sent him a picture of it….with celebratory woot, woots! He took it like a normal Galloway boy…..”Cool”! He was proud of all his hard work! And so are we!
Wow Gavin! You deserve to be proud of yourself. It’s not everyday one gets honored in such a prestigious way. God has blessed you with a great mind….and we’re so glad you’re not wasting it!
Take a gander at the award! Yay Gavin!
How crazy is too crazy?
Thursday, October 1st, 2009Everyday at 5:00pm, I’m glued to my t.v. Now for those of you who know me…personally…know that I am not a big t.v. freak. As a matter of fact, I rarely watch anything….even my favorite shows. I tivo and still forget to watch whatever it was that was precious to my viewing eyes. So…I’m not at all like my peeps! They. Are. Addicted. To. Tv.
Really!
But to this….I am hooked like an addict to a crack pipe. The cause? Glenn Beck! Yes, the mormon t.v. personality has me tuning in every single day….and if I miss (like I did yesterday) I get all in a tizzy! I’m totally addicted to his rantings! He is on fi-yah!!! If you cannot make sense of what is going on in this country….and honestly, WHO CAN? I suggest you tune into Fox News at 5:00pm and watch Glenn. He is telling Americans THE TRUTH!
It seems like our world is spinning out of control. If you’re anything like me (and maybe you’re not) then you are standing witness to some of the craziest times ever in our history. Each new day brings some deeper and darker revelation of just how out of control our leaders can be. I am amazed….day after day.
My prayer is that God will protect us….in spite of us. Our choices have put us in dire straights. We can’t do what God has called us to do…if we are not following Him with pure hearts. I pray that those in control of our free country….would lead by the Holy Spirit’s power and not their own. We need to turn back to the one that has truly set us free. Jesus!
Thank you, Glenn Beck. You say what mainstream media folks will not say! I’m praying for you. 🙂
Build me up, people!
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009I am not the least bit embarrassed to admit my love for winning! Now don’t get me wrong….I’m not cut-throat competitive or anything. But I love to win! Don’t you? Winning just feels good. Come on, admit it!
Yesterday, I learned that Lynnette at Dancing Barefoot chose my caption for a cute picture of her son on her blog. She is sending me…..homemade caramel popcorn! Woohoo! I love that stuff! I am so excited to win! Thanks, Lynnette!
This morning, I woke up to find that I won a blog award from Heather at My Red Apron. How sweet! I love it that someone thinks my blog is lovely! Feels good!
What about you? Have you won anything lately? It doesn’t have to be huge…..cause really that doesn’t matter. It’s the little reminders that God is always blessing us. It pumps me up and fills me with JOY!
P.S.
I love the two blogs mentioned today. Both of these ladies are inspirational women. I enjoy their tips, family happenings and great contests.
5 Things I love about my Pastor
Monday, September 28th, 2009Over on Living Proof Ministry’s blog, Beth Moore shared some sweet thoughts about her pastor. I thought it was funny when I opened it up this morning. Why? Because… yesterday during church, I was thinking about how I loved my pastor too. I even planned to blog about him today. Weird, huh? Oh Holy Spirit….why do we wonder? 🙂
I wanted to share a few thoughts about Pastor Bob. I know how difficult his job is (remember….I’m an ex-PW). There are many people to please in his line of work and oftentimes it’s impossible to do. But he never shows the wear and tear of ministry. He makes the job look easy. I admire him for that. I pray for him and his family. God uses His servants to minister in a variety of ways. They love ministry….and it shows.
5 Things I Love about Pastor Bob
1—He isn’t ashamed to worship. He doesn’t sit back and watch it happen. He’s one of the main players in the open admiration of our Lord Jesus. I like that. Worship is one of my favorite things to do. It’s all about you Jesus!
2—He loves people. I’ve heard him admit how hard it is to love people on a few occasions…..yet I sit amazed at how he really does. He’s an inspiration in that capacity. He does a great job of showing love. I know what “not showing love” looks like and Pastor Bob….you are not it.
3—His past has made him who he is today. Sin has a way of destroying a person. But God has a way of restoring and making them better than whole. I cling to my own gift of salvation and understand when Pastor Bob speaks so passionately about his own. I will never take God’s love, mercy and forgiveness for granted.
4—He doesn’t hurt or wound when he preaches. His words are strong yet caring. Some think preaching the gospel has to be a bit offensive. Not Pastor Bob. He says what needs to be said…..and it makes perfect sense. I hear a true servant’s heart when I listen to him.
5—He wants to be the best he can be for Christ. It can be draining to pastor a large church. Time can chase you down and run over you. Pastor Bob knows he has to rest, enjoy his family, escape and still minister. He does a great job managing all of that. Which in my opinion…shows in his outward living for God.
Yesterday, Pastor Bob spoke about a little dream he has for his future. When all is said and done (aka retirement days), he wants to minister for free to little churches in areas where they cannot afford a pastor. I completely understood what he meant. What a privilege that would be. I bet he’ll do just that.
God bless you, Pastor Bob. You make my family feel loved and cared for. We came to you wounded and tired from the very job you do. We pray that your ministry grows and reaches as far as the eye can see. Thank you for what you do….in the name of our Lord Jesus.
