Fifteen

-not the number of kisses I received this morning.
-not the number of minutes I hit the snooze for.
-not even the number of dollars in my wallet.

The number of DEGREES on the thermometer!!!

I hope you are staying warm wherever you are.

Friday Funny

From an email I received this morning...


During these serious times, people of all faiths should remember these four basic religious truths:

1. Muslims do not recognize Jews as God's chosen people.

2. Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.

3. Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian world.

4. Baptists do not recognize each other at Hooters.



Hee, hee, hee. Have a great weekend!

Rooting For the Home Team

Sorry Patriots.

In a two-year old's world

It apparently makes you quieter if you say "Tiptoe, tiptoe" while tiptoeing down the hall to announce that the baby is crying.

The Last Day of Summer...

...and it's SNOWING!

*I hope to get a picture up later, but I need to go pick up Isabel.

Hospitality

"But in the culture of ancient Israel, out of which the church was born, hospitality was among the moral foundation stones of society. Israel was a wandering stranger, and God took her in, and fed her and clothed her and housed her; and in response, Israel was to care for the alien and stranger in her midst. Christians in their turn saw hospitality as a basic way in which members of the Christian community could emulate and hand on the welcome they had received from God."

Ballerinas and Butterflies

I'm taking this break from the craziness in my life right now, to share this video with you. Of course, there is ballerina in it!

Years ago, my husband's sister was a recipient of a Make-a-Wish after she was diagnosed with leukemia. Unfortunately, God called her home soon after, but the family still remembers her wish with great joy.

Wordless Wednesday...

...because there are no words, only tears.
