Conrad/Heidi and children will be leaving Portugal tomorrow and heading for Mozambique...Please pray that the children will stay healthy through all of the travel... They get motion sickness so easily. Also pray that luggage and personal items will arrive safely with no stealing, etc. It will be a long trip and many adjustments in the coming weeks....

You know... we speak words of life or death...

The little ditty from childhood: Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me... well, that is just not the truth. Words can hurt.. and hurt long and deep.

Words can also give life and give life.. long and deep. I've had those, too.

We read in Scripture that Jesus went to pray.. He'd spend the night in prayer, or go to the mountain, etc. We see these art pieces that show Jesus looking serenely 'up' somewhere with his hands folded; He's praying.

Why did Jesus go to pray alone? And what went on there? Yes, He rested, I suppose. He talked with his Father, adored and received direction from his Father with Whom there was deep love and joy in relationship. According to Hebrews 4 & 5 there would have been prayers, petitions, loud cries, tears, reverent submission and learning obedience. He, most of all, would have known what temptation was all about.

So what does that have to do with me?

One of my Facebook friends wrote that you can used sweetened condensed milk for paint. Put some food coloring in it. Give the child a brush.. or whatever and let them paint away. And of course... it's edible... It is glossy and shiny even after it dries.
Read and relate if you can!!!!!!

Q: How many women with PMS does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: One. ONE!! And do you know WHY it only takes ONE? Because
no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb. They don't even know the bulb is BURNED OUT. They would sit in this house in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it OUT. And once they figured it out they wouldn't be able to find the light bulbs despite the fact that they've been in the SAME CUPBOARD for the past SEVENTEEN YEARS. AND if by some miracle, they did find the light bulbs, TWO DAYS LATER the chair that they dragged from two rooms over to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!! AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE CRUMPLED WRAPPER THE STUPID LIGHT BULBS CAME IN! WHY?! BECAUSE NO ONE IN THIS HOUSE EVER CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!! IT'S A WONDER WE HAVEN'T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE 12 FEET DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE. THE HOUSE!! IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS . . .
I'm sorry...what did you ask me?

I can read this and laugh, but I cannot relate. My hubby-wubby is not like this............ And besides I'm not PMSing anymore... I just do Senior Moments. And that's bad enough.
