Okay, Is it me or did this week fly by?
Thursday and Friday I had the opportunity to go to the Willowcreek Summit Conference. It was awesome. Once again Bill Hybels, reminded us that Vision Leaks. So not to get frustrated when one of the people at Word of Faith can not remember where we are going. We got to hear some Axioms and while I was there and I thought of one right off the bat…There is no such thing as common sense.
Craig Grosechel talked about having IT…..I felt so (can’t even think of a word) that all I could do is just reflect on what he said. So may prayer for God right now is God show me if i have IT and if i don’t help me get IT.
Pastor Lyons, Pastor Jamila and I left feeling renewed and refilled at the many possibilities that we have in front of us and plan on showing it to the leaders when it is released 10/06/08. Such an awesome experience for Christians and business leaders alike.
So now we move on, We are preparing the hearts and minds of the people to minister to the people in our church neighborhood. We are having a block party!! It is going to be so much fun!! More info to come….
Otis and I went to the movies late last night on a date. We had budgeted for “Bargain Tuesday” which used to be $5.00 (2 weeks ago), is now $6.00. My husband tries to bargain with the lady cause he planned on spending $10 to take me to the movies. The cost of a movie has now raised to $10.25 and all of a sudden it hit me….it’s cheaper to buy the DVD. Wow, I mean really it would cost me $30.75 to take everybody to the movies. We haven’t even got snacks yet….
…..So after I get over the cost of the movies, We settle down to watch “Meet the Browns”. The character Brown is almost funnier than Madea, but a movie would not have been as funny without Madea and Brown. If you ever watch the trailer for this movie you would die laughing cause they show most of the funny parts in the trailer but you gotta watch the entire movie. BTW, Rick Fox sounds like a muppet….which took away from his appeal as being the right guy. They should have got the black guy with the goatee from the original Law & Order, he would have been perfect….and he probably could have learned to play basket ball too.
Well, let just end by saying that unless we go the Dollar saver movies which will probably be raised to $4 we are going to just view all our movies at home now….Maybe with our economic stimulus money we will buy and AppleTV. Yeah, we will be doing movies at home from now on and just going for it…..red vines, popcorn, pretzels, takeout, pizza, nachos, the whole 10-4. Movies are so expensive. WOW.

It’s April and as I was thinking about what I was going to post, I also found myself wondering what me and the kids were going to do this summer. There is so much to do and I don’t want to spend every pay check on the kids fun activities. especially because I have little kids and they don’t care if we got out into the backyard and have a mud fight in the flower box. The youngest thinks that fighting his way out of a cardboard box is fun. But it lead me to thinking about how I used to spend my summer as a child, how I wanted to spend my summer, and In turn How I want my kids to spend the summer. We will probably end up going to the water park every other day cause that is free and they have a playset. Maybe we will only take one big field trip a week. Hmmm…..that ’s definetely something to think about…. All of this leads me to my question….What did you like to do in the summer when you were a child? What would you like your children to do? Sound off I am interested in hearing all the good activities and ideas for activities for my children to do.
