"Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. "
Romans 12:9-12

You know you are living in 2007 when...
1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.
2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.
4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.
6. You pull up in your own drive way and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.
7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.
8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.
10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.
11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )
12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.
13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.
14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list.

Puppy Sitting!!!
Since this past Wednesday my family has been watching these two puppies! The white one on top, Chloe, is 6-weeks-old. Abby, the brown one, is eight-weeks-old. Cody wasn't too happy to start off with in the first few days, but he soon made friends with them and would chase them around the house playing. (Cody is my dog, see pictures in my other posts of him)
Last Saturday...
We held our first home competition. Thanks for coming out everyone, it was a-w-e-s-o-m-e (Yes, I said it... lol) to have all the support from our friends! It was a little disappointing that we didn't do as well as we would have liked, but we did get second.

3 years ago today
Ryan and Vanessa, You are still missed.
I can only imagine what it will be like
When I walk by your side
I can only imagine what my eyes will see
When your face is before me
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
Surrounded by your glory
What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you Jesus,
Or in awe of you be still?
Will I stand in your presence,
Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing Halelluja,
Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
I can only imagine when that day comes
And I find myself standing in the Son
I can only imagine when all I will do
Is forever, forever worship you
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
Surrounded by your glory,
What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you Jesus,
Or in awe of you be still?
Will I stand in your presence,
Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing Halelluja,
Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine, yeah
I can only imagine
I can only imagine, yeah, yeah, yeah
Surrounded by your glory,
What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you Jesus,
Or in awe of you be still?
Will I stand in your presence,
Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing Halelluja,
Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine, yeah
I can only imagine, yeah, yeah
I can only imagine,
Yeah I can only imagine
I can only imagine,
Ohh yeah I can only imagine
I can only imagine when all I will do is forever,
forever worship you I can only imagine

...20-pound cat...
Tubby tabby who tried to plunder food reunited with his owner
(1/11/07 - PORTLAND, OR) -
Here, KITTY KITTY KITTY. Goliath, a 20-pound stray whose girth got him stuck in a pet door while trying to plunder some dog food, is back with his owner.
His name isn't really Goliath, but it's close. It's Hercules, says owner Geoff Ernest, who was reunited with his tubby tabby Thursday at the Oregon Humane Society.
Gresham resident Jadwiga Drozdek found the feline stuck in the dog door of her home a few days ago, helped free him and gave him a plate of food on her patio.
Ernest said he had a house-sitter when he went to Seattle for a lung transplant six months ago, and Hercules departed.
While at the Humane Society, Hercules was diagnosed with Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, similar to HIV in humans.
The society says cats can live years with the virus and still make good pets, but owners should keep them indoors to keep it from spreading.
Veterinarians say about 40 percent of America's cats are obese, putting them at risk for a variety of diabetes-related disorders.
Hercules, meanwhile, has had his 15 minutes of fame, piling up stacks of hits on You Tube and other Web sites.

Cody hearts clothes
No joke! We get his shirt out and he comes running over to it and shoves his head through the hole. He loves clothes! It must be because when he was a puppy we would put bows in his hair...hmmm could be. And yes he is a boy dog.

snow?!?
I was shocked to wake up to a snow delay this morning. Where was this sudden snowfall on Christmas morning? I'm not complaining... I'll take an extra 2 hours of sleep anyday!
cute story
An Amish boy and his father were visiting a nearby mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny silver walls that moved apart and back together again by themselves.
The lad asked, "What is this, father?" The father (having never seen an elevator) responded, "I have no idea what it is." While the boy and his father were watching wide-eyed, an old lady in a wheelchair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room.
The walls closed and the boy and his father watched as small circles lit up above the walls. The walls opened up again and a beautiful twenty-four-year-old woman stepped out. The father looked at his son anxiously and said, "Go get your mother."

Miss Bedford
Top 4: Stefanie Thomasma, Karie, Cassidy Gorr, and Me
I received the People's Choice Award. How it was selected, was that each contestant had decorated a coffee can where the audience was suppose to drop change/dollar bills into their favorite contestant's coffee can. And then contestant with the most money, won. The money collected went to the People's Choice Award Winner's charity, that they had selected prior to the competition. We ended up raising over $1,000! All of the money is going to Pastor Al's mission trip. (see: Mellinger Missions in my links)
Guest appearance by N*Sync & their new puffy vests!
