Don’t Hate Me Because I’ve Got the Hottest Tickets in Town!

Lookie what I have in my hot little hands!!! Tickets to not one but TWO rockin’ shows!

Thank you, Patty, who scored a Deeper Still ticket for me! God totally wanted me to come because after I bought this ticket, I found out three of my dear friends were going as well and they invited me to stay in their room. So Deep was my desire to go to this conference I was ready to head to Nashville all by myself! Husband was a little nervous about that – but he knew I really wanted to come see the Terrific Trio and meet my imaginary friends…LOL Oh, I am beside myself that it all worked out! BTW – Deeper Still has a blog – go here to check it out~

As if that were not enough, here is my ticket Casting Crowns’ October show in Huntsville! I know if Mark knew I were coming he’d hook me up with back stage passes, but since we haven’t talked, for like, NEVER, I’ll be sitting in the side risers next to the stage. If you are planning on being at this show, I’ll be the girl in the box seats still waving her lighter in the air cuz as far as I’m concerned, the old school 80’s concerts still rule. I’ll also be the one lip-syncing to the girl in the band. (One day I’m going to figure out her name) I am convinced one of my rewards in heaven will be the ability to open my mouth and sing without anyone standing by me wincing. Oh, it’s going to be so good.

Also another word – if you haven’t checked out LPM’s blog in the last couple of days, The Siesta Fiesta has been scheduled for August of next year. Talking about hot tickets! I am SO there! :)


Okay, I’m done squealing like a school girl. I just realized how much fun September and October were going to be and I just couldn’t contain myself!

Hope you have a fabulous holiday weekend! We’ll be going to Mule Day…Yes, you heard it right! The Cow Plop’s got nuthin’ on Mule Day.


Don’t worry…I’ll be telling you about it next week..:))

Thankful Thursday

It has been quite some time since I have been able to participate in TT. Apparently I had a ghost in the machine that wouldn’t let me view Sting My heart. It finally vacated when I exorcised defragged it… Freaky, huh?

Which leads to my list and the top thing on it:

1. I am so thankful I can view Sting My Heart again! I’ve missed my friend Iris even though I was keeping up through Feedburner. I’ve also missed visiting you girls! Your lists and stories of faith are always so encouraging to me.

2. I am elated a major project I have been working on got completed and sent off this week. Now I am praying for favor where it is concerned!

3. I am grateful for my patient husband who endured my madness and a less than spotless house the last month.

4. I am THRILLED OUT OF MY EVERLOVING MIND over Casting Crowns’ ‘Altar and the Door’. Ya’ll….this cd…. (Pause to fan my face) ….it is just beautiful. My favorite song is ‘In the Middle’. For those of you who are doing the ‘I AM’ study, expect that song to pop up in next week’s lesson entitled ‘He Brought Us Out to Bring Us In’.

5. I am even MORE THRILLED over my Casting Crowns CONCERT TICKETS that we bought this week for the Huntsville show. All I can say to my husband is – Honey, you are going to be moderately to overtly embarassed when I hop around and sing my heart out. The great thing about concerts is no one can hear you…. I’ll let you in on a little secret. Sometimes I lipsync and pretend that girl in the band’s voice is really mine. Retarded, I know.

6. I am glad school is going well for the kids. They love their teachers and so far I think they love them back. Just found out my oldest boy, aptly named Einstein, did not miss a single question on the Alabama state exam he took last spring. Keep it coming baby. Your momma needs some scholarships.
7. I am grateful Jennifer reviewed the ‘I AM’ Study at 5 Minutes for Mom today. Go here to see what she had to say! She also reviewed 3 other study books for which there is a giveaway…Don’t miss out!
8. I am overwhelmed at the love of the Father towards me. He continues to guide me by paths I have not known nor would have ever dreamed. There is a line in ‘Somewhere in the Middle’ on the new CC cd that says, ‘when will we trade our dreams for His’ (or something like that). I have come to a place in my life where I am not afraid to do this. I haven’t always felt that way. I look forward with joyful anticipation at the abundant life He has planned for me and my family.

Ya’ll go see my friend Iris and tell her how much you appreciate what she does at Sting My Heart and Laced With Grace. Her ministry changes hearts and lives and I am forever grateful for her friendship.

Love you friend!

How I Know She Watches Entirely Too Much TV

My 4 yr old daughter came in this morning with this request:

“Mom, can you come and change the tv? Because I’ve seen this Wonder Pet rescue like almost a hundred million times. (With her hands thrown into the air) GAH! Why are they making me watch the swan get saved again?! And, mom, can I have ice cream with chocolate syrup for breakfast?”

I think a trip to the library is in order.

And then the museum the next day.

That way we won’t be home when Children’s Services comes for the inspection.


Oh, and if you are here for the Bible Study, just scroll on down…:))
