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!

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

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu

He's home!

I know you didn't know my dear husband was out of town. I decided not to post such information. I get scared enough as it is, I sure didn't want to advertise the information. Yes, you read correctly, I get scared. Before we had children, and well, even after Samuel was born, I would stay with a friend of mine when Stephen was gone overnight. When we moved from that town I didn't have anyone to stay with, so I would just sit up and watch tv all night. Fear kept me awake. Isn't that silly? Well, it didn't seem so at the time, but when I look back on it now it seems silly. That is until I have to be without a manly-man in the house. I'm telling you what, I hear every noise, sound, creak, croak. It's awful. Sunday night (the first night) while I was lying AWAKE in my bed I was praying and telling God that I knew He didn't want me to be fearful and that I knew there were many verses in the Bible that told of His being with me at nighttime . I just couldn'
