(Devon, friend Bill, and Sean on moving day.) Today was a monumental day. It was big. It was fantastic. It was time for it to happen. Today, the twenty-year-old twins moved into their own apartment. I find it somewhat humorous. These are the same two boys who complained about sharing a room until they were eighteen. [...]

So, here’s what I “think” I know about this weekend’s football!! (Yes, this and $4.68 will get you a grande latte at Starbucks!) Tennessee (GO VOLS!) meets up with LSU in “Hotlanta” for the SEC Championship bragging rights. [...]
Are “U” Ready For Some Football?
Posted: November 25, 2007 in Big 10, Family time, Football, Huskers, Ohio State, University of NebraskaThis weekend was a great weekend in football. We are still in watch mode to see where The Ohio State University will shake out in the conference, Tennessee is going forward and Mizzou beat number 2 ranked Kansas….. which can only help our Scarlet and Grey! The Tennessee game was exciting – although nerve-wracking. I love an [...]
Giving Thanks – the remix
Posted: November 23, 2007 in Family, Giving Thanks, Glorification of God, God's goodness, Praise, ThanksgivingThanksgiving is a wonderful holiday. It is a time to reflect on things in your life you are thankful for. Of course, as a believer, I try to make it a practice to reflect on things I am thankful for everyday. My job here, in this world, is to praise and glorify my Lord and Savior, [...]
I am not a “die-hard” fan of many football teams. I root for The Ohio State University, The University of Tennessee, and (::blushing red::) The University of Nebraska. Of all these teams, Ohio State is closest to my heart. I’m a Buckeye by birth, and my husband is a big fan of the scarlet and [...]
Sundays are a Great Day to be a Believer….
Posted: November 18, 2007 in John Owen, OBC sermon, Of The Mortification of Sin in Believers, Overcoming Sin and Temptation, Sin, Worship…and so are Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays – well, I think you get my point. I love that God chose to pour His merciful grace on me and draw me to Him. I love that I have His Holy Spirit residing in me. I love that He has placed me in the body of believers at [...]
I can remember years ago – while living in Plano, Texas – hearing the oft stated question, “Who in the heck is Texas Tech?” Well, Texas Tech is the newest wrench in the BCS championship standings. They just beat Oklahoma by one touchdown. Now, because of my devout loyality to Ohio State, I wanted [...]
Well, Ohio State beat Michigan with a score of 14 to 3. Can I just say that OSU is one classy team. They were in scoring position – 1st and goal – and they still went on their knee to end the play. Seems 14 points was enough for the boys; they didn’t need [...]

My husband, Barry, and I are reading “Spurgeon – A New Biography” by Arnold Dallimore. This morning we were reading about Spurgeon’s conversion. I recount that [somewhat lengthy] conversion story below, but there was something else in the chapter that really struck me! Charles had been visiting his grandfather’s one summer when the Scripture read [...]
Looking Forward To Reading…..
Posted: November 11, 2007 in John Owen, Of The Mortification of Sin in Believers, Overcoming Sin and TemptationAs I said in my previous post, God has really been directing my heart to studying about sin – what He thinks about it, its cost to us as believers, and the provisions given by God to enable the believer to overcome sin. I have been studying the bible regarding this. This past week, God [...]
Ahhhh, Friday night worship – it IS a wonderful thing. Last night I was blessed to be able to go to see Chris Tomlin in concert with nine wonderful ladies from Omaha Bible Church . For those who have not been, a Christian artist’s concert is not like any other concert imaginable. I’ve been to [...]
Today was just one of those perfect days that God gives. Nice, crisp, deep-fall weather (mid 50′s day, mid 30′s night), beautiful sunshine, cloudless evening sky. Yes, just perfect. Tonight we hooked up the webcam, manned the microphone and talked to our daughter, her husband and our beautiful granddaughter. They are in Tennessee, and even [...]
