Medicine Head

I was hit hard in the middle of the night with this cold, flu. Couldn't stop coughing, my throat was so sore and the congestion was miserable. I keep laying there trying to sleep, not wanting to get up and go downstairs and find cold medince. Finally at 2 am, I dragged myself out of bed, located the medicine I needed and took the maximum dosage allowed. I slept good, but woke up this morning with medicine head and was in a fog for a few hours. lol I still don't feel well, but hopefully this won't last too long.

Not much else going on, I will just take it easy today.

Nancy Grace

Last night I watched the Nancy Grace News show on CNN. They were talking about the horrible drunk driving tragedy I posted about yesterday. The guest host on Nancy Grace was Jane Velez-Mitchell. One thing she said concerning drinking especially stuck in my mind and I so agree.

But alcohol and it`s related disasters are truly a plague and, unfortunately, what it normally does to people who drink too much is they are just not responsible for their actions

You can read the transcript from the show here.


On a much lighter note I went into Kroger for a few groceries this afternoon and came out with these two lovely items.

On the left is ~Mary Engelbreit's~ It's A Brand New Day 2008 calendar. Each day there is cute picture and inspiring quotes and sayings for through out the year.

Also bought Shopaholic & Baby by Sophie Kinsella. I have been waiting for this book to come out in paperback.

Let It Snow

We didn't get any snow last night, only rain. Then today it started snowing about 4:30 p.m. Expecting to get around 3 inches. The roads are bad because there is a combination of ice and snow.
It supposed to warm up into the 40's later this week and all of this will melt! lol

I started taking down the Christmas decorations this morning. In fact I plan on undecorating the Christmas tree after I finish here online. Dan is at work and Kelly is with a friend, so I have some free time on my hands.

Hope you all are enjoying this first day of 2008.

Happy New Year!

I can't believe that 2008 is only a few hours away. Dan is working tonight and Kelly is out with friends, so here I am at home, just me and the doggies, Patch and Duke. :o)




We are supposed to get some snow tonight, 2-4 inches by morning. Then tomorrow, 1-2 inches. That's not too bad. I don't mind the snow, in fact I think it looks pretty. What I don't like is freezing rain, ice storms and dealing with that type of weather.
Today Dan and I went out for lunch at Cracker Barrel. I had grilled chicken tenderloins, green beans, coleslaw and cornbread. YUM! After we ate we did a bit of shopping in the gift shop. All of their Christmas items were 70% off, what a deal!
Bought two of these snowmen mugs.(trying to show you both sides of the mug).



I have been using my mug enjoying Chai tea all afternoon. :o)

Was going through some pics on my computer and thought I would show you the desk/makeup area Dan made for Kelly a couple months ago. Please ignore the messy closet that shows in the mirror! After that photo was taken Dan installed new mirrored closet doors for her.



Hope everyone is having a safe and happy New Year's Eve!

God bless

Indescribable Gift

Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!~~2 Corthinthians 9:15

Christmas, my child, is love in action...When you love someone, you give to them, as God gives to us. The greatest gift He ever gave was the person of His Son, sent to us in human form so that we might know what God the Father is really like! Every time we give, it's Christmas~~Dale Evans Rogers

Here are some pics from our Christmas Day. I have tons, but will share a few.

Our Christmas Tree




I will honor Christmas in my heart to try to keep it all year long. ~~Charles Dickens

Again?

Well, here I am trying to simplify once again. I miss blogging, but right now I don't really want to take the time to work with html and uploading pics, etc. at Moore Country. So, for now I will do all of my blogging here. Hope you all don't get tired of me moving back and forth.

Hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas! Ours was very nice. It was a happy time spent with family and friends. Of course we wish that Jeremy, Sabrina and Colton could of been with us. I do pray that next Christmas they can be here.

Here is a pic of Jeremy, Sabrina and Colton at Christmas time.



Here is a pic of Dan, me, Kelly, Randy and Chris on Christmas morning. We took this photo before going to my sister's house for the big family get together.



Take care everyone. I will be updating again soon.

Put Love to Work

Put Love to Work


"And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity."
(1 Corinthians 13:13)

What do you do when you're facing a particularly stubborn problem? A problem that resists your every effort to solve it?

Put the power of love to work on it! The power of love is the greatest power in the universe. It's beyond defeat. It never fails (1 Cor. 13:8).

The Bible says God is love. So when you release love into a situation, you have released God into it. Think about that! When you start releasing love into a situation, Jesus becomes responsible for its success.

What is this love I'm talking about?

First Corinthians 13 tells us it's patient and kind. It's not jealous or haughty or conceited or rude. It doesn't insist on its own way. It's not touchy or resentful and it pays no attention to a suffered wrong.

Love rejoices when right and truth prevail and it bears up under anything and everything that comes. It's ever ready to believe the best of every person. Its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances and it endures everything without weakening (The Amplified Bible).

The person who refuses to love is missing out on the very best God has to offer.

Don't you miss out on any of it. Release love every moment into every situation, every prayer and every thought until it totally consumes your life. It will strengthen you and cast out every fear that has robbed you of God's greater blessings. It will drive the devil out of your affairs and set you free from every torment of darkness.

Put love to work on the stubborn problems in your life. It's the one solution they'll never be able to resist.
