Glory

For our present troubles are small

and won't last very long.

Yet

they produce for us a Glory

that  vastly  outweighs them and will last forever!

2 Corinthians 4:17 NLT

Not done yet

Ready set.....

Yesterday was supposed to be districts for Middle School Track and Field but it got rained out...which meant....I got to meet up with two lovely ladies at the indoor gun range!
My sister said I was getting all redneck on her but my gun totin friend said we were going gansta!
I really enjoy shooting the beebee gun in the back yard and thought this was going to be loads more fun... but it was really loud and the casings were flying at me and when I fired the gun it was a whole lot brighter than I imagined and, and, and..I sound like a nimkapoop. The best part of course was just hanging out with Shanel and Evie.
Why am I telling you this? I don't know, just thought you would like to know. I haven't posted anything in over a week, though there have been blog posts floating around in my head...

• my birthday...got a hubcap

• the maid came and her husband pulled everything out of her bedroom while I was at the first girls and guns get together where we learned about gun safety.

• learned last months bible verse really quick and could have learned another but I didn't
• haven't posted this month's Bible verse...I thinking something from John 15
• the visual that went with last week's Sunday school lesson was really good, it involved candy and money
• I hate my hair
• I love my husband...we don't want to go to the marriage conf. at our church though
• found some great books at the library this week, and oddly enough one is about marriage...Love and War by the Eldridges...the other was Sewing Green...
  
• I miss you and wish I could have lunch with you

John-Thomas just called and said Districts is set for today at 5. He's done great in the hurdles and that will be the only thing he will compete against 7 other schools today. I think I will bring a book. I hope Josh can get a better picture of him jumping the hurdle than I have.

John 13:17 "If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.

Fragrance

But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. 2 Corinthians 2:14

Here it is the 8th of April and I am just now getting around to my scripture for the month. During last week's sermon, 2 Cor. 3:18 was referenced and I should've known it right away but at least it looked familiar when I finally turned there. There was another verse used last Sunday that I thought would be good but now that I look for it, nothing rings a bell. It might be the verse that I chose, it might not....it doesn't really matter. What matters is that I'm trying. Amen?
I trying to be more diligent in exercise.
I am not trying to stay away from all the desserts that were left at my house from the Easter dinner I hosted. Two strawberry pies, coconut cake, strawberry rhubarb pie and....two unopened boxes of chocolate covered potato chips. Not to mention Easter candy.

But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him.
