Tuesday Tunes 52: Jesus Has Overcome!!

Cross Pictures, Images and Photos
I was reminded of the amazing gift of life that we have been given.  The amazing savior that we have and what he has done for us!!

1On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6He is not here; he has risen!
Luke 24:1-6

Manic Monday: Welcome February!!


Welcome February. I can look forward to Spring now. January being the hardest and coldest month (usually), I can now see light at the end of the tunnel. It doesn't matter what the gofer says on Groundhog Day: the end seems in sight even if he does not see it. I will hold on to the little glimmer of hope that Spring is not far away and we will soon be able to walk to school without 4 layers of clothing on!! Even if it is just a glimmer...I will hold onto it!


What was your best day of the week last week and why?
I had a few, but the one that sticks out right now is Saturday. A friend that I had not heard from in awhile contacted me through Facebook. We went to college together (for my BA in English). Her and I would hang out with two other ladies who were like second Moms to us. We would eat supper, talk about literature and soak in the hot tub. Those were wonderful nights that I shall never forget. I am so glad that we are all connected again through Facebook. See, technology can be good!!

What's the longest you've ever gone without sleep?
Well, I have two kids so perhaps I have gone 5 1/2 years without sleep??? When I was a teenager we used to go on Retreats with our youth group at church. I would go on about 3 hours sleep over the course of 2 days. Maybe a bit more, but not much!! Those were the days!!

Is how old you look and/or how old you feel right now different from your actual age?
I am sure I look younger than I am. People never believe me when I tell them I am as old as I am. I feel youthful. There are days when I feel old, like last night watching the Grammys and Lionel Richie came on and I said, "Wouldn't it be nice if he was singing?" (Not that I am THAT old, but I do like his voice and KNOW who he is)! I am not sure I really answered the question, but that's okay!!
