LOL Nikki...But without MSN, they'd be phoning you collect, and there goes the mortgage! :^O
Prayers for all those effected by the recent VA Tech shootings. What a tragedy. Makes me even more nervous about sending DD off to college this fall. 😞
So, I have big news...
The place where I have done volunteer bereavement recovery counselling for the past few years has offered me a full time paid position, and I will most likely take it...if I do, I start next week. It's been my dream to connect our tiny office to the hospital and I've been asked to spearhead this campaign.
I'll be happy to close up Ebay shop and get my basement storage room back to normal! LOL! Thank God for today's sale and a chance to sell off some inventory. This is an answer to prayer, esp. with DD17's tuition coming up soon. I might list a few things here and there when time permits, but I'm still writing two syndicated columns, freelancing my articles, and working on Book #3, so with a full time job, time will be precious and few.
Sooooooooo...God bless you all...it's been real. Take care and drop me a line sometime. :-x

Congratulations mlm.
The board feels sad today. Yesterday I joined a prayer vigil (a friend's cousin's son is a student there - he's OK - had a dr's appt and wasn't in school) and the whole experience was just so inspiring. I came away firmly believing that despite all these tragedies - shootings, accidents, floods, earthquakes - I know I serve the God who is in control. I may never get answers to my "why" questions - but I know His heart and THERE is a Master Plan. I continue to claim His promises.
Laurie (((hugsz))) . . . will keep the hearing in my prayers today. You are doing a good job. . . as always.

Aww....thanks, all of you, for your kind well wishes. You are very special people and I hope you will keep this thread going strong. Remember that wherever two or more are gathered in His name, so will He be there, also.

Take care! (((squishies)))

WHY GOD MADE MOMS
(Answers given by second grade school children to the following questions:)
Why did God make mothers?
1. She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is.
2. Mostly to clean the house.
3. To help us out of there when we were getting born.
How did God make mothers?
1. He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.
2. Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.
3. God made my Mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts.
What ingredients are mothers made of?
1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and
everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.
2. They had to get their start from men's bones. Then they mostly use string, I think.
Why did God give you your mother and not some other mom?
1. We're related.
2. God knew she likes me a lot more than other people's moms like me.
What kind of little girl was your mom?
1. My Mom has always been my mom and none of that other
stuff.
2. I don't know because I wasn't there, but my guess would be pretty bossy.
What did mom need to know about dad before she married him?
1. His last name.
2. She had to know his background. Like is he a crook? Does he get drunk on beer?
3. Does he make at least $800 a year? Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores?
Why did your mom marry your dad?
1. My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. And my 2. She got too old to do anything else with him.
3. My grandma says that Mom didn't have her thinking cap on.
Who's the boss at your house?
1. Mom doesn't want to be boss, but she has to because dad's such a goof ball.
2. Mom. You can tell by room inspection. She sees the stuff under the bed.
3. I guess Mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.

GOOD MORNING......:-x
Thoughts...
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If God had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning.
When you want to talk, He'll listen.
He could live anywhere in the universe and He chose your heart. :-x
