Well...

Well-- that is one of Drew's favorite lines "well" or "let me ask you a question Momma". he was planning his day and asked if this was church day and i said yes--- and he replied "It's God's time". i replied " your right it's God's time"

hope you all enjoy your God time today

Keeping Your Focus

"Give my son Solomon and uncluttered and focused heart so that he can obey what you command, and live by your directions and counsel." 1 Chronicles 29:19 MSG


this scripture is from the Cultivating Contentment Bible study we are doing on Sunday nights @ church. Thought this was a very powerful verse...

Golden Lion Tamarin....

The Golden Lion Tamarin
Old World Spain

Yes it's the Golden Lion Tamarin an Endangered Species. Payton has report due on this monkey October 9 and report due on Old World Spain October 6 and shewas nominated by her teachers to run for President of the 5th grade. The 5th and 6th graders were all paired up into 2's. each pair had to pretend to run for pres and v-p with a platform-- new ideas for the school, how to improve the school, how to improve the elementary... Then each group presented a speech to the grades ( about 150 students 5th and about the same in 6th) The teachers next nominated students to run in an actual election. MY PAYTON was nominated for President (her partner was not nominated). Now we have to start over! New speech same views or ideas, we need signs, cards, you get the idea.... and this is all due now too!!!

And we are trying to work on a baby boy name for the newest addition that will be here in about 10 weeks. Jeanne is working really hard and has come up with some great names. any thoughts or should i say names send them this way!!!

the view

the work trucks are from North Carolina. I counted 17 of them getting on I-55 @ Brookhaven this morning. What a sight to see. They had bucket trucks, big trucks, trucks pulling trailers and more trucks. The neighbors stepping up to help out again. We live in a great country-- don't forget to say a prayer today for our military that protects, friends that help us and a Great God that Blesses us.
