Lately, I've been getting one a bit too often and kept telling myself that I shouldn't. Then the "Great Flood of 2008" happened...and the boil order came with it. There's not a place around that has fountain pop these days.

During the January storms, I had my kids praying to calm them down and it worked tremendously and it seemed the storm jumped over our house! I thank you for reminding me about prayer and now since I have this verse wrote down, I will definitely go to my Bible and read it and use this verse as my armor against fear!<BR/><BR/>I too dread the day my kids stop 'believing'!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16992083618289514928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149207303944954877.post-19003006149964445142008-06-04T20:24:00.000-04:002008-06-04T20:24:00.000-04:00Awww...poor AJ! I dread the day when my kids no lo...Awww...poor AJ! I dread the day when my kids no longer "believe"...glad you were able to make it work. <BR/><BR/>Have you ever just prayed right through your fears? I'm not minimizing them at all - but just asking. For us, everytime it storms bad, my husband gets paged out with the fire dept. The kids really don't like storms, especially when the power is out!! Over the years, we've made a tradition of praying and singing VBS or praise and worship songs. The singing really helps pass the time and eventually they forget they were so scared...until it gets loud again! And, my own little thing I find myself repeating sometimes is Psalm 46:10, "Be still and know that I am God." When I'm overwhelmed, I find great comfort in that verse.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05299729353445110856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149207303944954877.post-86384820285504955972008-06-03T15:49:00.000-04:002008-06-03T15:49:00.000-04:00Amen!!Amen!!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05299729353445110856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149207303944954877.post-55463380144069929092008-05-22T16:01:00.000-04:002008-05-22T16:01:00.000-04:00Oh my gosh...I didn't realize that you are Carol M...Oh my gosh...I didn't realize that you are Carol Maze...lol!!!

Thank you for your welcome though!<BR/><BR/>We have a small truck that my husband had bought after we bought the boat. I call it an old farm beater truck. Now he is selling it so he can buy a 1990 something blazer. Talk about a gas hog. Oh well! Gas just went to $4/gallon last night here. I was excited when it was $3.82 Tuesday and I filled my tank up! I spent $80 on my venture van and will probably use it all up this weekend going to birthday parties and graduation parties! Oh well, I guess that is life!!! ugh!<BR/><BR/>I hope you have an awesome day ahead of you!!!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16992083618289514928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149207303944954877.post-91941433620521446512008-05-22T07:36:00.000-04:002008-05-22T07:36:00.000-04:00Welcome to the world of blogging! :) Mind if I lin...Welcome to the world of blogging! :) Mind if I link to you?<BR/><BR/>Good luck selling the boat...we could throw in an extra-long, extended cab 4-wheel drive truck to pull it with.
