I will be so glad....

...when deer season is over!(but don't tell the boys ;o})

They count down the days until it comes around each year.

Here they are building a shooting house...there was
wood all over the yard~and still in the garage in a
not so neat little pile~that will be cleaned up tomorrow~
FIRST THING! hint hint hint

I think Ethan is suppose to be holding the wood

still for Brandon...

This is my adopted daughter Courtney (;o)~not really)

...but I claim her as my own...she was pitching in a helping hand.

I wonder who came up with the design?

It looks like that shooting hole is a little high ;o}

My boys love to hunt...Especially Dalton, he eats, sleeps and

breathes hunting! I can't wait for deer season to be over ;o} no

more muddy boots in the garage, no more deer hanging from the

trees in my back yard~(yeah~that really happened) no more using

my patio table for a chopping block (no seriously! that will NEVER

happen again~or there will be teenage boys hanging from the trees in

the backyard ;o}) no more losing sleep because I'm afraid someone's

gonna get hurt & no more camo in the laundry! WHOO ~ HOO!

Only 3 more months to go ;o{ Is it really that much longer :o{

I do not eat deer~I don't even cook it! If I can't buy it at

Wal-Mart or Kroger then I am not gonna eat it ~ unless

I'm starving of'course ;o}

And I would definitely have to be starving!

Can You Find The Hidden Books...

...Of The Bible?

I ONCE MADE A REMARK ABOUT THE HIDDEN BOOKS OF THE BIBLE.

IT WAS A LULU, KEPT PEOPLE LOOKING SO HARD FOR FACTS AND

FOR OTHERS IT WAS A REVELATION. SOME WERE IN A JAM,
ESPECIALLY SINCE THE NAME OF THE BOOKS ARE NOT CAPITALIZED,
BUT THE TRUTH FINALLY STRUCK HOME TO READERS. TO OTHERS

IT WAS A REAL JOB. WE WANT IT TO BE A MOST FASCINATING FEW

MOMENTS FOR YOU. YES, THERE WILL BE SOME REALLY EASY ONES

TO SPOT. OTHERS MAY REQUIRE JUDGES TO HELP THEM. I WILL

QUICKLY ADMIT IT USUALLY TAKES A MINISTER TO FIND ONE OF

THEM, AND THERE WILL BE LOUD LAMENTATIONS WHEN IT IS
FOUND.A LITTLE LADY SAYS SHE BREWS A CUP OF TEA, SO SHE
CAN CONCENTRATE BETTER. SEE HOW WELL YOU CAN COMPETE.
RELAX NOW FOR THEREREALLY ARE SIXTEEN NAMES OF BOOKS
IN THE BIBLE IN THIS STORY.

Good luck~

Seriously?

Something you never want to hear right before

you leave to go to church...

Kayla: Are you wearing your hair like that?

Me: Yes...

Kayla: Seriously?

Me: Yeah...what's wrong with it?

Kayla: Oh, nothing...it looks good.

HA~

I guess next time I will ask Kayla before

I put my hair in a pony tail ;o}

Please pray for dad...

It's been a while since I have updated on dad.

The main reason is because I don't really know anything.

It's almost as if mom is trying to spare me any heartache

by keeping it from me...

Mom text me last night to let me know that they are headed
back to Texas...dad has a dr's appointment Wed. They
were not scheduled to go back for a couple more weeks.
(Up until about a 3 weeks ago they had been in Texas
since about April or May.) I have probably only seen them
about 2 hours combined time since then...if that much.

When I asked mom why they were going back, she told me
that dad said that if the dr's do not do something different
he will not last much longer.

I don't really know what to say...I have written, deleted and
rewritten this post at least a dozen times. Each time it gets
smaller and smaller and details get left out. Especially the
parts that make me seem like less than a super hero.

The last I heard...dad has 3 types of cancer. They are rapidly
aggressing and are incureable. I could go on about what little
I do know that dad is going through, but I had rather not.
If you have ever lost enyone from cancer then you know...
If you haven't, then I will pray that you never have to know.

Please pray for dad....and mom.

I know that God can heal him...I believe that with all of

my heart....but I also believe that it may not be God's
will for him to be healed. Mom is holding fast to
believing that God is going to heal him...

And He may...He just may...
...but knowing that He may not...makes me
feel like I have little faith...

I know that he will be healed either way...
and so much better off to go on home to Glory...

I am glad I can say that...there are many who
cannot say that about their dad...I'm thankful I can. I know
he is saved and the moment he takes his last breath
here on Earth he will take his next breath in Heaven.

We will give God the glory either way...

Thank you for praying~

Playing catch-up

Wow~things around here have been unusually busy

and I am so far behind in everything!

AND YET...

...here I sit at the computer blogging away ;o}

Okay...maybe blogging was placed a little higher on the

totem pole than it should've been...but I am tired and I

don't want to do just can't bring myself to do much else....

and to top it off~I have a headache...and have had one

for 3 days now~AND I didn't even go to sleep last night. I just

tossed and turned and was up and down all night!

Hey!

It's my blog and I will whine, cry, complain and put off

doing the last two loads of laundry as long as I want! ;o}

Where did I leave off?

Oh~

We went to a campmeeting in Erin, TN. Someone really needs

to build a nice hotel there. We stayed at the Deerfield Inn...

Sounds all rustic and cabin-like right? WRONG! The pillows

were like a towel folded in half and there was a hair on my

bed when I pulled the covers back! It was the only hotel

there or we would have moved ;o}

We had the King James Fellowship on the 30th...it was

nice, but I will be glad when we are able to have it in

our own church building again...there's no

place like home.

On Halloween we had Hallelujah Night at church. It was

COLD...not as cold as last year, but cold. We rented jumpers

and I am proud to say, there aren't any goofy pictures

of me in them ;o} Although I have seen some hilarious ones

of certain people in the slide ;o} I WILL  be sure to post

them if I can get my hands on any.

It was a of lot fun~I especially loved the bonfire! I think I

have eaten more roasted marshmallows this year than ever

before ;o{I'm afraid it's beginning to show too~

I haven't had much time to sew...but

I have been trying to come up with a few new

pillowcase dresses...here is my latest:

The snowman face is embroidered...isn't it too cute!

We just got in today from Murfreesboro where we attended a

campmeeting at Bro. Tony Hutson's church. He crack's me up!

He will jump up when another preacher is preaching and give

his two cents worth too...gotta love it! I love how he just calls

people out of the congregation to sing~and the best part is

they actually do it without looking like they are walking

the green mile ;o)

It was a pretty good meeting...

Those people aren't afraid to let go ;o}~if you know what I mean.

In the next few weeks we will be going to Mountain View, Ar

and North Carolina. I can't wait to go to North carolina...

I have never been....but the 10 hour drive doesn't sound

like much fun.

Well....Atleast I can mark one thing off of my to do list ;o}

lol

Oh well....some progress is better than none at all right? ?

Have a great night everyone!
