I've Never Seen the Wind

"Can you see God, have you ever seen Him?
I've never seen the wind.
I've seen the effects of the wind,
but I've never seen the wind"


How many of my "homies" can hear Billy Graham reciting this line in Mind's Eye on the famous Jesus Freak album by DC Talk? As the wind whips around my house this evening I thought of this line and it made me laugh. It is so true though and a great lesson about faith.

Ok, while we are on the Jesus Freak album, I have to mention Mrs. Morgan. Do any of you remember her?

"Well, I'm Catherine Morgan and I'm the next-door neighbor to the Gotee's and uh, the Gotee's were over there and they had a drummer that came in here to play the drums that day And he played it early in the mornin', and he played it. I had him for breakfast, and for lunch, and for dinner. So I hollered at Todd and told him that I couldn't stand that drummer any longer, that he was driving my crazy! And Kevin spoke up and said, "Mrs. Morgan,"; says,"that's a live drummer we've got over there today" and I said, "If he hits the drum one more time, he's gone be a dead drummer" and that was the last I heard of the drummer that day "

Ok, so some of you are like..."okay, she is so odd!" Yep, I am. I love being goofy and having innocent fun. My sister and I memorized every word and would recite this to each other in our best "Mrs. Morgan dirty south" accent while driving from Leachville to Memphis on many a fun occasion, way back in the day. I still know all the words and sound like Mrs. Morgan when I do it. Love it! Anyway, I just tried to call my sister to throw a little "Mrs. Morgan" at her, but she must be at Boy Scouts or something of the sort....dangit! I can hear her laughing and trying not to blow Coke out her nose though, so that makes me happy.

Anyway, work is crazy busy this week with pre-auction jitters and thinking about all this has made me relax. I love how God just used this crazy wind to calm my soul and make me laugh. He is truly my protector. I am also so very glad He gets my sense of humor!

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go

Pedicure Pledge

Just a friendly reminder, it's that time of the year again. Please raise your big toes and repeat after me: As a member of the Sandal Sisterhood, I pledge to follow The Rules when I wear sandals and other open-toe shoes: I promise to always wear sandals that fit. My toes will not hang over and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the sides and tops of my feet will not pudge out between the straps. I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and chip-free. I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe. I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow. I will shave the hairs off my big toe. I won't wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, coworker, mother, sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there. If a strap breaks, I won't duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back in to place hoping it will stay put. I will get my shoe fixed or toss it. No matter how much it hurts. I will
