Your Best Life Later!

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

I'm so thankful that the best is yet to come!

Just a little experiment

Here's a little something I made on my iPhone:

Happy Birthday, Audrey!

I made this cake for my cute little niece, Audrey.

Here she is a few weeks ago sitting with my sister in the hospital bed after her new little sister arrived. She's a spitting image of my sister, Jada. I experience déjà vu every time I look at her!




I was out of piping gel, so I couldn't do my normal little trick of tracing onto waxed paper, then transferring the picture. Therefore, this is a free hand job which is NOT my speciality. Of course, Audrey was happy so I am too!

Mmmmmm!

This coffee, "Monkey Coffee," as Bub calls it, is so delicious on this cold, rainy fall afternoon! He calls it monkey coffee because the smell reminds him of monkey bread. Get some soon because it's seasonal.



This blog is really to myself in case it makes me sick. (Tara, you really did enjoy that pumpkin spiced coffee, and you had a sweet time sharing a cup with Bubbie while snuggling on the couch. It was worth it.)

Coffee and Bible reading used to be my favorite combination for early mornings. These days, it's coffee and prayer (prayer that I don't get sick!). I guess coffee and prayer isn't a bad combo, right?

This is dedicated to my husband...

who absolutely cannot read lips to save his life!

This website takes public speeches and songs and "lip reads" them. It's hilarious, because it really does look like they're saying the nonsense that you hear. I chose the Rick Perry one, since I'd rather hear hilarious nonsense than his globalist, soft-immigration, Mulism-loving, parental-rights-hating hot air.

But I have to admit, this one is funnier:

Birth order, anyone?

I'm definitely not into psychology, but years ago I read Kevin Leman's birth order book, and I was amazed at how true his descriptions of family dynamics were. I am the firstborn. Maybe just a teenie, weenie bit controlling and bossy. (only a little!)

What do you think? (also from 1982, 7 years old)

About the smoking, no...none of my friends smoked, although some of them obviously had sinus and fidgeting problems; but smoking would have been my worst nightmare. My daddy smoked (thankfully, he has quit! Yay, Daddy!), but I hated every second of it growing up. Obviously LOL.

"7" Was a Rough Year

My parents cleaned out their attic and gave me a box of things from years gone by. I thought this was pretty funny. It's dated 1982, when I was 7 years old. Incidentally, this was about a month before I got saved. :-)

And just for the record, I had a wonderful childhood and I dearly love my sister, Jada.

Wow! You really should look at this. Seriously. Click on the link:

U.S. Debt Clock

Granted, "No Child Left Behind" was a spending boondoggle of a disaster, but it looks like thrift compared to ObamaCare.

Little Sister Boot Camp

This is how the soldier gets his baby sister in shape.

Surprise!

I about had a heart attack when I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth tonight. I saw Mr. Freeze's house sitting on the countertop (Batman), but then I saw moving antennas!


Can you see the poor unfortunate grasshopper that Seth brought in for the night?

BOYS!

On the Death of Steve Jobs

I thought this was an excellent perspective by Doug Phillips from Vision Forum on the life and death of Steve Jobs.

"On the Death of Steve Jobs" by Doug Phillips

The fifty-six-year life of Steve Jobs has ended. What is the message?

First, this was the full life of one of the greatest innovators and marketing giants since Edison. He was a man who understood that the computer revolution provided an unprecedented opportunity in history to shape culture. Over the last thirty years, American culture has been shaped by Hollywood, by music videos, by Madison Avenue, by the government schools, and by Steve Jobs. It is time for Christians to take inventory of these influences and consider our response.

Only one life, ‘twill soon be past;

Only what’s done for Christ will last.
