Easter

George and I had to be at the church at 6:00am because he was playing the drums and I was singing. It was a long day but well worth the worship and message at church. At our church, Crosspoint, we have a tradition called "flowering the cross". Everyone brings fresh flowers and adorns the cross. By the end of the day it is beautiful and a reminder that our Savior died a horrible death for our sins. Thank goodness 3 days later he rose again and will come for me one day!
The kids loved their Easter buckets not baskets at our house. They had a fun Easter egg hunt at Grammy's, one of many that day.

When Mommy is Away.....

This is what happens when I am away. On this particular night I was at school and George decided to take pictures of the fun for me.

Spring Break

I know this past week was spring break week for some but not for us. We had spring break back in March and took a short trip to Chatanooga. We stayed at the Chatanooga Choo Choo and had a great time - hope you enjoy the pictures.

Virginia Massacre

It has been a while since I have posted but I am having camera trouble and the spring season in a school system is just a crazy/busy time.
My heart is so heavy for the families and friends of the students killed yesterday. As I prayed for these unknown people, I just felt helpless and hopeless for these people. When you send your kids off to college it is supposed to be a fun, life-changing experience. It is not supposed to end this way.
Our society today is so spontaneous that you never know what "crazy" is going to come out of the woodwork and dream up next. There are times I am sad that I brought children in to this troubled world. (That does not mean I have regrets! I wouldn't do it differently if I could.) I am fearful for them. What will they have to face in their lifetime? How can I keep them safe? These questions weigh heavily on me at times.
Now, having said that, I know that we have hope. I know where my eternity lies and I am going to do everything I can to make sure my kids know the Lord and that they secure their eternity. But when you think about death, you don't want it to be a shooting or anything violent. I pray, selfishly, that the Lord allows me to see my kids grow up and that they come to know Him- I want to be there for that. I also pray that I die peacefully- like in my sleep or unconsciously.
So- am I the only one who thinks and actually prays about this? Let me know your thoughts.
I promise the next blog will be happier- but death is inevitable so we might as well be up front about it.
