I am having blogger block....


I never thought I would lack for something to blog about but alas.... here it is.


I do have a couple of funnies to pass on... true stories about text messaging follies!


A certain always smiling person I know sends a text to a gal to double check the spelling of her daughter's name for her sash and he sends "I need to double check your daughter's rash"!!!


Another fellow sent a text that said "who's the chick" to a friend of his only to discover as he sent the text he realized it was his friends sister with him!!!

What If - Jadon Lavik

What if I climbed that mountain, what if I swam to that shore
What if every battle was victorious then would you love me more
Would you love me more
What if I were everyone's first choice, what if I went farther than before
What if I stood high above the rest than would you love me more
Would you love me more

You say I belong to you apart from the things I do
You say I belong to you I'm in awe of why you do
Why you do, why you do, I'm in awe of you, ooh

What if I ignored the hand that fed me, what if I forgot to confess
What if I stumbled down that mountain then would you love me less
Lord would you love me less

What if I were everyones last choice what if I mixed in with the rest
What if I failed what I passed before then would you love me less
lord would you would you love me less, oh no oh no oh no

You say I belong to you apart from the things I do
You say I belong to you I'm in awe of why you do
You do you do you do

What have I done to deserve your son sent to die for me
What can I give I want to live give me eyes to see
In a world that keeps changin' there's one thing that I know is true
Your love is stayin' there's nothing else I'll hold onto

You say I belong to you apart from the things I do
You say I belong to you I'm in awe of why you do
Why you do

You say I belong to you apart from the things I do
You say I belong to you I'm in awe of why you do
I'm in awe of you I'm in awe of you

The way you love me, the way you do
The way you do , the way you love me, you love me , you love me
The way you do the way you do the way you love me,
the way you love you love you love

How often do you violate your soul???

Nothing like a big heap of conviction this early in the morning!!! Think of a great big pile of mashed potatoes plopped on your plate. Yep, that's what I got this morning only in the way of conviction.


So, what better to do with it but plop a bunch onto you.....


How often do you violate your soul???

-by watching that show you probably shouldn't.

-by reading those novels instead of the Bible. (OUCH)

-by participating in gossip.

-by remaining in the depths of sin.

-by not being the witness you could be at work.


Ok ok, that's enough huh?!?!


I have been guilty of all of these things at one time or another. Often times we get so caught up in these that we can't seem to get out of it.


Sin takes you further than you intend to go, and keeps you longer than you intend to stay.


My biggest is picking up that novel when I could be in The Word. It's SO vital to stay within the realm of God that all too often once we slip even the slightest bit away it can drag us so far away.


Look at Lot. Even though he got out of Sodom, he took his sin with him. Now mind you it is believed he made it to Heaven as the Bible says "through the fire" with nothing to show for his life. Is that how you want to approach the judgement day???


I for one DO NOT want to be ashamed on that day.


So, you ask how do we get away from violating our souls?!?! Well, for a one time fee of 19.95 I will tell you. No just kidding! Have I mentioned I love informercials???


I digress.....


It takes DAILY discipline. It's a matter of making a conscience effort to walk the path of righteousness. Is it easy? No, but no matter how far in sin you are God still loves you right where you are. How amazing is that?!?!


Is there something or someone you need to break free of? One that brings you down into that path of sin??? Make an effort to get away from the situation.


Is there someone you know who has something in their way of total surrender? This is the tough one. How do you approach that?? You must do it with love. It's hard to take "discipline" but if you are a true friend you will approach the topic. I hope that my friends would do this for me AND that I would take it with grace.


Have a great week!!!

Finally!!!



Sunday Cole comes home! He has been gone SO much this month. He has been at his Dad's 3 weeks in June and 1 week at Mission Camp. Needless to say I am having Cole withdraw! Aimee said the other day "I miss my bubby". You know it's bad when that happens!!



Summer is always hard for that reason BUT he will be home the whole month of July and only has one more week to go the first of August.



We leave in 2 weeks from today for Panama City for Aim's softball nationals. I would have more softball pictures but it seems they play better when my camera is put up! I am a tad bit superstitious!! For those that know me well know that I AM NOT a beach person. Sand on my feet grosses me out!! I know I am weird but give me the mountains anyday! However, I am going to try my best to make the most of it!



Catfish Festival is going strong now and I am going to make Ed get me an elephant ear sometime today! We don't hang out there much at all. Usually do the queen contest and Martin Co. Idol, maybe watch a few softball games but that's it.



Have a great 4th of July!!

I am officially addicted to the new Remedy Drive CD. It is SO good! GO to Blessings and get you a copy and if they don't have it they can order it for you. It's called Daylight. I'm attaching a few pics from the concert. Most of these Cole took!
