I want to hear the Snow Bunny story! Bwwwwaaaaaaa! I’m just a kid at heart!

LOL!!! Jaycee, you are so funny! I had just taken a big sip of my diet coke when I read this post and NEARLY CHOKED ON IT! If it's a fairy tale you want, look elsewhere. LOL! ;-)

Wow, you had all kinds of weather! It finally did rain later today around 3. Was a relief to work with no sun and heat for the rest of the day.

My cousin in Prescott says she recently got over 20 inches of snow.

Go figure!

Speaking of strange natural stuff,,,we had a minor earthquake a few hundred miles north of here in Clintonville,WI on Tuesday. The residents had been experiencing odd noises and rumblings and no one knew what was up, but today the US Geo. Service or some such group said it was indeed an earthquake followed by aftershocks.

Something To Declare

March 23, 2012

It was just a routine baggage inspection, but there was nothing ordinary about the contents of the suitcase. The Swiss customs agent who examined it discovered 14 original drawings by Pablo Picasso. The artwork, which was contained in a sketchbook, was estimated to be worth as much as $1.5 million, yet the passenger indicated “nothing to declare” to customs authorities.

It’s hard to imagine anyone packing Picasso’s sketchbook between sweaters, trotting off to the airport, and hoping it would remain a secret. The man was obviously smuggling it.

We as Christians have something far more valuable than a Picasso to declare! Yet we sometimes keep the treasure of our faith in Christ locked in our hearts instead of sharing it with those around us. Jesus reminded us, “You are the light of the world” (Matt. 5:14). Part of our purpose is to reflect God’s glory so that others will understand their need for Him. He also calls us to let our light shine, so that they see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven (v.16).

We risk becoming spiritual smugglers when we hide our faith in Christ. Instead, let’s open the “suitcase,” share the treasure, and give glory to the Master.

Lord, help me make my witness clear,
And labor faithfully,
So friends and neighbors turn to Christ
Through what they hear from me. —Anon.
A word well chosen can open a heart to God.

Read: Matthew 5:13-16

Let your light so shine before men. —Matthew 5:16
Bible in a Year:
2 Samuel 1-4

Hi, Lori! Yes, I’m still at my son’s in CA. I hope to be going home within two or three weeks (depending on what the doctors want me to do.)

I am finally able to brush my own hair but still am having a little trouble in other areas, so we’ll see.

I got a pedicure and manicure last week, got my hair cut and colored yesterday, along with a little shopping at KOHL’S. So I’m about ready for my daughter and SIL to arrive tomorrow. (They think this up-coming Bday is ‘speshul’ for some reason!) ROTF!!!

My DIL made my Mexican chicken yesterday in the crockpot - and after simmering all day, we had a feast last night, with guacomole, salsa, my homemade pico de gallo, shredded cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion, black olives, sour cream and hot tortillas and crispy taco shells!

Here is the recipe if anyone is interested:

Mexican Chicken

3 boneless and skinless chicken breasts
1 packet of taco seasoning (mild)
3 small cans Rotel tomatos with green chili

Put in crockpot in the morning, let it cook all day on low, and shred the chicken an hour before serving, letting it soak up the flavorful juice. Serves at least ten if they don’t keep going back for seconds and thirds. LOL!

"Wear Red" Friday
You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.

From an email on June 10th, 2006 - the author is unknown.
