I ain't afraid of no ghost! I've been "Ghosted"


I woke up this morning. Just doing my routine blog reading. Little did I know that I had been "Ghosted" by YellowRose's Garden. So I followed her instructions in my latest comment box.

Do I believe in ghost?? No!
Am I a Christian? 100%
Should Christians be involved in a little Halloween fun?? That is your opinion. I don't personally think a little Halloween fun is wrong. If you blog, beware you might be next to get "ghosted". Just remember to check your latest comment box!


Until next time....

The Funniest Video

Last night Computer Geek comes to me and says, "Mom, you just have to see this video clip I found". Usually that means it is something lame (well to me anyway) that I don't want to see. But this one made me laugh so hard that I had him play it 4-5 times for me. So I decided I wanted to share it with my daily blog readers. I tried to post it so it would play on here for you, but I could not find the html code. So you will have to CLICK HERE to watch it. After you watched it, come back and finish reading my post.

Have you watched the video clip??? Read on~

Isn't that the funniest video?? His buddies make him think they are in a car accident. I love how they whisper to the driver then count down to scream in unison. His face is priceless! Then at the end, he squeezes his hamburger because they had scared him to death! Made me laugh even harder. I can't help it but I absolutely love that video clip!

I am off to watch it again!

Until next time. . .

Out of the Mouths of Celebrities!

I had a friend email this to me today. I found it so interesting that I wanted to post about it this morning. So here it is:

With hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding and severe t-storms tearing up the country from one end to another, with the big quake in Pakistan, the quote of the month is from .....Jay Leno:

"Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?"


It is ABOUT time that people wake up and see what is going on around them. God is sending out warning signs of for the End Times. In Matthew 24:6 it says, "And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass...." (Also found in Mark 13:7 & Luke 21:9)
It can't be too much longer that Jesus comes back for His bride (the Church).

For someone like Jay Leno to actually say that means God is speaking to hearts. I can NOT express the joy and excitement I have when I hear thru the family grapevine that God is working within my own family. God promised my Mom that her household would be saved. God called her home before she could see the evidence of all her prayers, but I have had the pleasure of watching 1 by 1 accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
If you are one of my family members reading this and have not yet accepted Jesus into your heart, warning you are next!!

Ahhh. "Out of the mouths of Celebrities!"

Until next time.....

Happy Birthday Computer Geek!

Today is Computer Geek's 18th birthday. My heart and mind can NOT comprehend that he is 18 today. Doesn't seem possible that it has been 18 years since he was born. I know it was just yesterday that I nervously took him to his first day of kindergarten and I cried all the way home. Now today he is a man. Unreal. Not only is today special because it is his birthday but tonight is Senior Night at the Game. If you do not know what Senior Night is, it is where they honor the Seniors that are in Band, Football, and Cheerleading. So Big D and I will dress up in our "Sunday Best", walk down the 50 yard line with Computer Geek, in honor of his 4 years in Marching Band and all his accomplishments as a High School Student. What an emotional day for Mom! I will definitely have tissues in hand because I know I will cry as I am being escorted by my wonderful son! I am so blessed as a Mother!!
My prayer is that as a man, Computer Geek will keep God in the center of his life!

Until next time.....

God Bless~

*~P.S.~* Yes the boy's birthdays are only 5 days apart. Computer Geek also shares his birthday with Big D's Dad. (Happy Birthday Dad-in-law)

Happy Birthday Football Star

My baby turns 15 today! I can NOT believe it! As I think back today about that special day, at the time it was a day of a lot of fears and tears. Even tho he came into this world at a whopping 9 pounds and 13 ounces, he was 2 weeks early. I tried to tell the doctors that I knew he was due more toward the end of October. Oh but the ultra sound said I was wrong. See we had tried for a year to get pregnant with him. But stress had kept me from getting pregnant. When the doctors took him (c-section), his lungs were not fully developed yet. The nurses in the Neonatal nicknamed him "Eskimo baby" because here was this very olive skinned over 9 pound baby in the midst of all these 3-5 pound babies. It was a very scary time for us. We thought we were going to lose him. But God has a plan for his life. Most little ones raised in church know who Jesus is and will say they have them in their hearts. But with Football Star(FS) it goes a little deeper. At age 3, when sitting and discussing for the hundredth time where Paw-paw was (my father had just recently died). This discussion would be different. It would be a turning point in FS life. His little heart was broken and he wanted to make sure he would get to see Paw-paw in Heaven. So we said a very simple sinner's prayer that day. Not many can say at age 3 they became a Christian, but FS did. Now 12 years later, FS is nearly all grown up. Long gone are the days of dirty diapers and ninja turtles. He will soon be taking his driver's license test for his permit. Unreal how fast time goes. I could not ask for a better son. I am very blessed to be his mother. As he continues to grow, my prayer for him is to have a happy, wonderful life with Jesus at the center of it all.

Until next time....

God Bless~

Emotional Rollercoaster

Have you ever felt like your life was on an emotional rollercoaster? That is how mine has seemed since Tuesday.


Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, I was in deep pray and worry about little Ashley not knowing what the outcome of her arrival would turn out to be.

Thursday was Football Star's game. His games always have me on the edge of my seat. Praying for his safety during the game. They lost their game. But once again God heard my prayers and kept him safe to play another game.


Friday morning, my sister called and said "we will have a baby by this afternoon". I felt like I was pacing in my prayers on her behalf. Then at 4pm on Friday my sister calls me with great news about baby Ashley. It was so hard to contain my excitement at the football game about what God had done. So here I am waiting for Computer Geek to go out on the field to march for the Red Raider Marching Band. All I wanted to do is run up to the announcer's microphone and let everyone one know how AWESOME my God is! His love for us is so unexplainable! I watch the band performed but don't ask me much about the varsity game!


Saturday was a very long and tiring Band Contest day in Nashville. And I didn't even march! But sitting almost 10 hours on those bleachers and in the hot sun. Sure can drain a spectator! I always get so nervous for the kids before they perform. They all work so hard. I hate to see one little mistake like the drop of a flag or a misstep ruin all that hard work. Last contest didn't go so well, but this time they would come in 1st in their class. Such an exciting time for us. I was still on a high from God's blessing over little Ashley! This just sent me over the top!

But Sunday would bring me back down to the realities of life. We had been so busy and not at home on Thursday thru Saturday. We could have missed out on something we would have regretted all our lives. But once again, our Heavenly Father looked down and knew our hearts and planned ahead for us. We so happened to have to go to Wal-mart before church because of a Potluck we were having. As we passed a funeral home, the name of our wonderful next door neighbor was there. Big D and I were both so shocked. We knew she was battle brain cancer but we didn't know she had took a turn for the worse. Thankful the visitation was Sunday and the funeral was today. Mrs. Meadows was a wonderful, giving lady. Even tho, we had some different religious views, I have no doubt that one day I will see her again in heaven. On the way to the funeral today, I had my Casting Crowns CD "Life Songs". The song "Life Songs" was playing. The thought came to me, What a wonderful "Life Song" Mrs. Meadows sung to those that knew her. Even her pastor said during the funeral, that the good Christian life she lived he didn't need to preach her funeral because she preached her own funeral. That is so true. If we live a good Christian life, we won't need someone over us when its our time trying to say all the good things we done because others will have seen what we done for the Lord. So may my "Life Song" sing as beautiful as this beloved neighbor and friend. May she forever be in our hearts.

Until next time.....

God Bless~
