This morning our church was very privileged to have Lysa TerKeurst speak. She set out to show that not only does Jesus exist but he works and she didn’t do it with a bunch of verses and theology. She simply gave her testimony. It was powerful and convincing and I highly encourage anyone to read her blog or books or simply get her testimony on DVD.

Sunday Scripture
Numbers 6:24-26
24 ” ‘ “The LORD bless you
and keep you;25 the LORD make his face shine upon you
and be gracious to you;26 the LORD turn his face toward you
and give you peace.” ‘
That’s my prayer for you today.
So how about you? To participate, simply post a verse, a set of verses or even just a reference to a verse that means something to you now or maybe even in the past. Explain why it’s important or don’t. It’s up to you. Go now and post and then come back. Post your name and then a direct link to you blog entry. If you don’t have a blog, feel free to leave yours in the comments. Here is the code for the graphic above.
Going to be a busy weekend
Well, we have a full weekend ahead of ourselves.
Tonight I have an Arbonne party to attend at D’s house. The guys are all planning to show up at the end to eat and play games. Should be a good time. And this is assuming the girls are going to MIL’s to spend the night tonight.
Tomorrow is the big Julian Drive concert. We are supposed to eat lunch with the band at our church then spend the afternoon helping them set up at a local high school and then of course spend the evening at the concert.
Sunday is of course church but Sunday evening the youth is going to the Winterjam concert featuring Mercy Me, BarlowGirl, Mandisa from American Idol, Group 1 Crew and some others I can’t recall. I’m not sure if I’ll go or not. The girls are supposed to start preschool choir and I missed choir last week and I’m not sure about someone keeping the girls that long so I may just have Scott go. Who knows.
Then Monday we’re supposed to go to another concert at church in the next town with the youth. It’s like the weekend of concerts.
Hopefully in there somewhere I’ll clean the house, work on some side projects, relax and enjoy some family time. You know, because the weekend is like 8 days long.
Grey’s Anatomy January 10, 2008
OK, last episode for quite some time and what’d we think? I thought this was one of Grey’s more serious episodes. They’ve done a few like this in the past I think and while I wouldn’t want every episode to be like it was tonight, I thought it was good.
I really thought Meredith and Derek were going to be good. Meredith really irritated me tonight. I mean, come ON! He was with her and then decided that he wanted to be with Meredith and WAS GOING TO BUILD HER A HOUSE. I don’t know, maybe she’s right. He didn’t come clean about Addison or Rose and the whole fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me thing..I get it. She doesn’t trust him. He should have come to her and said I kissed Rose and realize all I want is you. THAT would have been sweet. But on the other hand, why couldn’t the explanation be enough? I don’t know. I really did like that Derek asked Rose out. It didn’t bother me like I thought it would. I think I’m just ready for something different.
I love Alex. I liked those women who could see he was a hurt little boy in a jerk of a man’s body. But I still love him. That hurt little boy is in there and I love to see when it comes out. Which I guess it doesn’t too much except times like tonight when he goes and gets Izzie and tells her she’s way better that Yang.
I can not get into the Hahn and McSteamy thing. That whole scene where Hahn tells McSteamy they’d be an item if they weren’t coworkers. Well, that just grossed me out.
I do like Hahn and Callie together though. They play well off of each other. I think because Hahn is actually as tall as Callie. lol.
Poor Izzie telling George’s mom about George and Callie. That SO something I would do. And then George goes and does the same thing to Meredith.
I could hardly watch the scenes with Bailey’s son in them. Wow. Watching any child suffer is hard.
I’m just so frustrated that they really had Bailey’s husband leave her. The last remaining marriage splits. I was so hoping they could redeem it somehow but no. AND in the episode that was about faith.
And as for the theme on faith, I thought it was well played out. I like the Chief’s comment about it may not working but it surely wouldn’t hurt.
Christina finally put someone in front of herself in this episode to hold Tucker’s hand and you have to give her points for that. Although if she had left his side, I might have had to write her off my good list for good.
I guess that’s enough babbling about that…any reactions from the peanut gallery on the episode?
Do you need to laugh?
My sister Heather just sent me this video of this baby laugh and I was thinking I really wouldn’t find it that funny but I was crying laughing by the end of it. The baby’s laughing so hard he can barely breathe. Ahhh, I needed that.
My name is…my name is
Another story about the words coming out of my children’s mouths…
We were joking around tonight and throwing out some Spanish things for the kids to say. They were only doing is taking turns saying “Hola” and we kept trying to get them to say other things. I tried to get Emma to say “Mi llama Emma.” (I have no idea if that’s the right way to say it) She refused so I looked at Lexi and said, “Lexi, say ‘mi llama Lexi’.” Lexi saying very proudly, “Emma Lexi.” I think we’ll have to try the whole Spanish thing again later.
I got married for the brutal honesty
I was getting my makeup on just now to go out to eat tonight and had my hair pulled back in a clip. I did get a shower at 7:45 today, thankyouverymuch. I normally do my makeup before my hair so this clip thing is not necessary. Anyway, I thought my hair was kind of cute with the bangs pulled back. I went out to my lovely husband and said, "What do you think of my hair like this?"
Scott: Uhhh, no, it makes your forehead look too big.
Well, thanks, I think I’ll put my hair down. Forever.
Elliptical Saga Continues
Are you tired of hearing about ellipticals? Today the technician finally came out to replace the parts the manufacturer sent. He twisted and pounded and lubed the thing up but one side of it would not come off. He said someone at the factory must have screwed it up. He called the store and apparently he knows them really well and just told them to send us a new one. We’re supposed to get a call in max of 3 days. Not holding my breath on that one though.
If we still have issues, we’re going to want a different machine.
And just for the record this is a Horizon machine and the tech said they have a ton of problems out of them. So far, I don’t recommend the Horizon. And it sounded like the money for a Sole might be worth it because he says they never get calls about them.
