Saved From Armageddon?!

Wow, we (Amber, Nina, Michelle and I) watched this movie last night and it was awesome! We were suppose to be having Sunday School, but Amber talked us into a movie. It had a bible-sounding-enough title. The definition for Armageddon: 1a...the site or time of a final and conclusive battle between the forces of good and evil. In the end, the movie proved to be a cool teaching tool.

First of all, the reminder that someday the world really is coming to an end, the real armageddon, and second of all, the hero has already saved us. Like Bruce Willis, sacrificed his life to save mankind from utter destruction (6-mile meteor), Jesus Christ has sacrificed His life so that we won't have to experience total destruction that is to come. This movie moved me emotionally and spiritually!

Trivia: Bruce Willis had a picture of his daughters in front of him to help him cry during his goodbye to Grace.

Did your ice bin break down?

As I was sharing the details of a rough day in children's ministry, my hubby hit the nail on the head. You see, this summer was monumental for equipment and vehicle breakdowns in his ice business. I shared that my right hand woman was sick, my craft-deva resigned, some volunteers no-showed and a child cried for an hour. My hubby replied, "Sounds like your ice machine broke down, the transfer bin refused to push ice, some of your employees didn't come to work and a customer called crying with a complaint." Who says that my man doesn't understand what I've been through?!? And more importantly than that, my Father understands and is in total control. He's blessed us with sixty five 3 year old through 3rd graders and He knows we can handle it. We've obviously been faithful with a little and He's given us more. And He promises not to put more on us than we can handle. YeeHaw! Bring it on!

If I Only Had A Brain, Part 3

Okay, the big busy day came and went. And I need to make a note to self... "Self, you need to check with the school and see if the dismissal time is the same as last year." Can we say, forty some-odd children waiting for Miss Tammie and the church vans? Oh, one more reason to keep my "If I Only Had A Brain" coffee mug.

If I Only Had A Brain, Part 2

Well, I knew I was going to have a great big day and the tea picture was empty. Sooo, while having coffee and quiet time I put some tea to boil. This morning was prayer group so when my ride arrived I jaunted on out the door. I arrived back home an hour or so later to a reeking smell of something burning. YES, toasty tea! My hubby had already put out the fire, but the smell still lingered in the air. One more reason to keep my "If I Only Had A Brain" coffee mug.
