Concert with my son


My son Allen and I attended his 1st real concert. We saw the Newsboys. Allen likes contemporary Christian music, which warms my heart ! And these guys are among his favorites. So having a chance to see them so close to home was too amazing to pass up.

To say Allen LOVED the concert would be an understatement !! I was thrilled, amazed and blown away at the way my son watched and participated in the concert. I am not sure which I enjoyed more, watching the concert or watching my son enjoy the concert.

I think we will have to do this again, maybe with Dad next time if it all works out ( it did not this time). There is something so special when so many people gather to hear the word of God and enjoy music at the same time. Glad Allen and I got to be a part of something so special.

EARTH DAY


We do not inherit this planet from our parents, we are BORROWING it from our children !!

Everyone should do their part. I am distressed more each year at the litter I see thrown out on the highway when I go to and from work. I feel like the Indian in the commercials from the early seventies, looking at the pollution and turning towards the camera, has a tear running down his face.

Happy 8th Anniversary Lindy and Ty

Wow, Has it really been 8 years ??

Seems like just yesterday we were getting all the food lined up, had discovered some flowers were missing, the waist on your dads pants was broken and your mom was a basket of nerves. I remember Rick trying to joke with me, but I was to the point of NO return. LOL

Your wedding was beautiful !!

What a wonderful life you two have started, 3 girls and each other.

Hope your day is awesome !!!

Happy Easter


What a glorious day !!!! There was a light rain during the night and the air is crisp and fresh. Plans are in place for a joyful family get together and then, a nice Sunday nap.

My granddaughters will be here in new dresses and eager to get the baskets the Easter Bunny left here by " mistake".

Life is good. Life is something to be appreciated and never taken for granted. Jesus did that for us. He died for our sins.

I try to find 1 thing everyday to wonder and revel in. A flower, a bird, a beautiful landscape or my amazing children and grandchildren. I am blessed !!!

Easter is here



It is April Fools Day, April 1. Easter is only 3 days away. Today is Maunday Thursday. Tomorrow, Good Friday.

Where is the time going?

I will be spending Easter with my family, and doing the youth Easter breakfast. This is a wonderful activity that the youth have provided our congregation for quite awhile. Being a member of the Youth Board, I will be at the church helping the new Youth Director get his "feet wet".

I LOVE Easter.
