Tuesday Tunes 52: Jesus Has Overcome!!

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!!

Tuesday Tunes 51: Heaven is the Face

I cannot believe this song. It is so sad and powerful. I just love it. I have not heard the rest of Steven Curtis Chapman's album, but I am sure it is great. I really think that it will show the most depth because of the loss of his child. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!!

Manic Monday: My Head is Spinning....

I have had a very busy weekend. Sang karaoke - Kelly Clarkson "Since U been gone"; babysat; Promiseland; Flooded basement; Spun out; Baby dedication; Chinese food....Bed. I am tired and ready for a nap just reading this list. No wonder why I am feeling quite lazy this morning. Laundry will need to be started ASAP.

So, for ease of mind, I have decided to go with a Manic Monday, again. Tonight I am leading my Bible study group discussion time. So, if you think about it, you could pray for me. I will need it about 6:45-8:30 or so. Try and remember little ol' me!! Thanks!


If you could only have one section of the bookstore to visit, which section would it be?
CLASSICS - hello!! I love me a good classic novel. I read them for fun (which hubby thinks is hilariously funny). It is the English major in me!

If you could only subscribe to one publication for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Hmmm...tough one, but I would have to say either "Time" because of its historical content or "Reader's Digest" for the wonderful stories, jokes and funny happenings.

What activity always makes you lose track of time?
Other than the computer?? Well, anything that I love to do: knitting, reading, writing, singing, talking with friends...It doesn't matter. On a side note, I never really lose track of time. I love being on time for everything. I wear a watch and I am always checking the time.
