Cardboard Testimonies...

A friend of mine posted this on another site.
Each of these are all amazing in themselves, but by the end... tears.
Each person says so much with only a few words. It's amazing how God can flip things around in ways we never could have imagined.
When you watch, take the time to really read and think of the pain in each of their lives. It makes the victory that much sweeter.
Then remember that this victory is yours as well...

Cool new Bible study tool...

Check this out, I found it browsing around one day.
It has (like many of them out there) a great Bible in a Year listing,
but add to that the feature of journaling any notes you may have right along with whatever verse, tagging them for later, sharing your thoughts with others or just reading what others are saying that makes this very different.
You can choose the Bible version you'd like and your notes are saved forever... or I guess as long as the site exists. So if you're wondering what God was telling you the last time you read a verse, now you'll know (provided you write it in).

Really there are quite a few things that make this different, you'll need to check it out for yourself. This is just the beta version, more is on the way.
You can find it here.

If you sign up soon it's early enough you may be able to get your own name, or whatever name you would like without a million numbers attached to it.
Oh, sign up is free and no, I don't get anything amazing for refering others... hmmm... that I know of. ;)

Forgive me Father, for I have sinned...

In an attempt to save some money, I decided to trim my sweet little fluffy dog myself. Every time I do this, I promise myself it will be the last time - but for some reason, I never seem to learn my lesson.

While trimming I decided I could leave a little bit of hair on the top of her head for a bow! Sounds like a fabulous idea, doesn't it?

Ugh... I have turned my little fluffy dog into a gremlin. Just look!




Here's a picture of a gremlin (from the movie) just in case you forgot.




This is just wrong in so many ways.

Matthew said she looks sad because she can't go out and play with her friends anymore... she's embarrassed. :(
Well, the jokes on him - she doesn't have any friends. K, not as good of a comeback as I thought it would be.


Regardless, if she would keep her bow in, she looks kinda... cute... well kinda...
Look! She's even smiling for the camera.

Home Sweet Home...

After weeks of scouring the internet and watching Craig's List (who knew?), we narrowed down a few houses in Colorado and Matthew sent them to one of the guys on the staff at the church. He and his wife spent some time checking them out (how sweet is that?) and we've been able to settle on the one pictured above.

Woo Hoo! That's a huge stress taken off.

Wanna see somethin' really cool?



Did you see it????

Look out the sliding glass door... *** SNOW ***

How fun is that?
