Children are smarter then you think!

We had two young children come to church today. We have a very small church so we don't have young children very often. I was their Sunday school teacher and I was blown away. The little girl is seven years old and her little brother is five. I read them the story of Noah and the Ark, then while they were coloring pictures of Noah and the animals, I asked them questions of what I had read to them and they both fed me back the story. I was quite impressed, especially since neither child have really attended Sunday School.

The rest of today I am going to just "veg". I'm tired. Couldn't sleep much last night. I lay there in bed most of the night creating a city in my mind. Why? Because my characters are badgering me to put their stories down on paper and they need a town to run around in. :) I'm getting closer to committing them...some of them need committed!

Well, I hope and pray you have a wonderful day today! Remember too that God loves you!

Smiles & Blessings to you all!

Good television shows or lack there of....

Is it just me or has the television world switched to a majority of REALITY shows??? The only reality shows I choose to watch are American Idol and Dancing with the Stars. In my mind the rest is just wasted footage. Blah...in most cases...trashy.

I was just visiting at Petticoats & Pistols blog and they were talking about old westerns and the stars. It brought back wonderful memories of some wonderful shows. Great memories.

These days Tuesday night is the best night on television. NCIS and NCIS Los Angeles. The characters on NCIS are so well defined that no one could replace them. Gibbs is awesome and Ducky... oh my gosh I use to watch him as Illya Kuriakis on Man from U.N.C.L.E. years ago. That was a good show for it's time as well.

Long gone are the game shows of old. They did bring back the Newlywed Game and it's nothing but trash. I can't believe they allow some of the stuff on the air. Thank goodness for Howie on Deal or No Deal...at least it's clean fun (although some of the model dresses could show less cleavage...after all it is a family show).

Well, I'm sure there are people out there in the blogosphere that totally disagree with me and that is absolutely fine because we have the right to our own oppinions and this blog is simply put my own opinion.

Smiles & Blessings to you all.

American Idol Finale

Okay, I have to admit it, I'm an Idol junkie. Unfortunately I just haven't gotten into it so much this year...I do watch it every week...I just haven't voted....until last week. I voted for Casey and Lee. I'm sorry...in my opinion the guys are more marketable then Crystal, albeit the girl has talent. They're all winners!

So tonight, it's the finale. The question is who is going to take it? Everyone in my little corner of the world is saying that Crystal will take it hands down. My thoughts are it's going to be Lee. Why you ask? Well, he's got the adorablility factor going on...he's a younger version of Harry Connick Jr. and Casey left last week. What am I saying? I think that the Casey fans may have jumped onto the Lee Fan-Wagon...I'm hoping anyway.

All said, as I said earlier, they are all winners in my book.

I must say tonight is sad for me though....I am and always have been a big Simon fan. I will truly miss him and Idol will suffer a large void next year without him. I'm anxious to tune into The X Factor. Does anyone out there know when it is due to air???

Blessings to you all....Lee is about to sing with Chicago...AWESOME!!!!

Wintery Winds

I can't believe the weather his year. Here it is the middle of Spring, Summer is just around the corner and Mother Nature decides to give us another Wintery blast today. The wind blew all night long and has continued to blow throughout the day. Last night we decided to grab a bite to eat before doing our weekly grocery shopping only to get caught in a down pour. Needless to say the shopping was postponed until today. We've only had a few sprinkles today but that wind will bite right through your bones. We had to dig out our winter coats.

I'm literally exhausted today. But then that is the normal for me anymore. I had some tests ran last week. I've been suffering with Bradycardia (slow heartbeat) for a couple of months. The doctor thought it might be my thyroid but those tests came back normal. Now I'm waiting for my Hollter monitor results. That's a forma of EKG machine that you wear for 24 hours. I'm trusting our Lord that I am healed. By His stripes I am healed. Amen!

Hope you are all staying warm enjoying the day weather it is cold or warm.

What kind of weather do you all prefer? Me, I love the fall crispness and Spring coolness but I HATE the wind!!

On the road to recovery for Mom

Well, Mom started physical therapy today and she did quite well. She actually was able to raise her arm up high enough to scratch her forehead. What we take for granted in this life... Think of being unable to use your dominant hand for six weeks...Wow! I admire my mom so much for being able to go through this at the age of 82 years young.
