And the kids in the house said O Yeah!

Thank God for Sonic. Last night was free root beer float night. So I decided to venture out, might I add so did the rest of south Baton Rouge. The place was packed. I really don't think they made money though, everybody wanted the free stuff. So as we are sitting at a table enjoying our cold creamy free treat Miles says, "Hey this tastes like root beer". I said of course it does, hence the name ROOT BEER FLOAT, he replied, "Well, I didn't know". What have I done wrong as a parent. I thought all kids knew what an ice cream float was. I know he has had one before. Maybe it was the heat. It was hot last night. Maybe the overcrowdedness of the other rootbeer float seekers was depleating his oxygen. I may never know. What I do know is, I really don't like root beer floats!

As I am writing this I am thinking. The best thing in the world is out there and free anytime, not just on Thursday June 7 from 8-12. Jesus is here, He is real, He is sweet, and He is always there for the taking. No need to fight the mobs of people. Anytime, anywhere. So today my friends, spend some time with the sweetest, coolest, and most refreshing thing around. JESUS!

Check it Out!

I saw an interview with the pastor of this church on TBN. He was awesome. It is cool to see people who society would shun be totally sold out for God. I want to go visit one day.God doesn't care what we look like or what kind of clothes we wear. Sometimes I feel as if we spend all of our time and hard earned money trying to be part of what we feel will make us acceptable . I am so glad that Jesus doesn't care we look like. www.deliverancebiblechurch.com

Pray for me please!!!

The bug farm is put together. The kids are catching bugs. I DON'T LIKE BUGS!!!!

Bug Farm

Today we are going to put together a bug farm. Kinda cool, I guess. I HATE BUGS! Even if they are contained in a plastic hot house. The kids are so excited. Miles says"we will never have to kill a bug again". I am thinking " hm mm, at least not to your knowledge. However I did catch a horsefly, but I killed it trying to put it in the bug house. I know that God created everything. I would like to ask Him, why bugs? They are annoying, nasty, and sometimes can hurt you. Wow, what a revelation sometimes we, me, can be like bugs. annoying, nasty, and hurtful. I am so glad that God doesn't swat us dead. I quess now I will remind the kids of God's mercy. He will never leave us in a plastic hot house to die. He wants us to live freely. Just like the bugs, we need to let them be. God has created us for a purpose, like bugs have a job. As for me this is what I want today.Psalm 143:10-11 reads-10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprighteousness 11 Quicken me, O Lord, for thy names's sake; for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
God keep me out of trouble and let my words be your words. Help us not kill the bugs!

It's just stuff it doesn't matter!

I have spent the last week house sitting at my sister's house. They were at the beach, while I was babysitting a house and a dog. Well what can I say, my sister has alot of stuff. However it is alot of expensive stuff. Needless to say I was very nervous staying at her house with my four kids her dog her cat and not to mention my dog was there too. We had fun, but it was six days of don't touch this and put that down. We must not forget IF IS NOT YOURS DO NOT TOUCH IT! I think we had a total of five casualties and on the last day lots of tears. So around 11:45 Friday night I decided to call my sister and tell her, sobbingly, about all that had been put to rest. After I apologized about twenty times she said, Amanda it's just stuff don't worry about it. I never imagined that I would here those words from her. I was somewhat relieved, but still upset over her cat's food bowl, which ended out being a collectors item that was from 2003 and now costs around 45.00, I was so upset over this bowl. I tried to glue it and tape it, no luck, no hope for the Catzilla chef cat bowl. May it rest in peace or should I say pieces. Ok so today in church Pastor Dino is talking about the man about to have a stroke over jelly and biscuits. It was just food. My casualties were just stuff. Then I had to repent my kids are God's kids they are so much important than a food bowl, or an orchid mister, or a crawfish stirring paddle, or a game of jarts, banned like fifty years ago, or two hairclips, and all the other things that were hidden so I could not find them. It is all stupid stuff. My kids didn't deserve my thirty minute lecture on respecting other people's property. So here is what I got out of all of it. Crazy things are most likely always going to happen, food orders will probably always be wrong, and kids will be kids. What is the most important lesson of all you might ask? Well here it is. Stuff can't go to heaven and stuff can't go to hell, only people!
