Here's a question that I was wondering about in our small group....

What is the significance of the phrase "thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies" from the 23rd Psalm??

I asked this in our small group. I had thot about it before, and never came to a conclusion. The 23rd Psalm is so beautiful and it all seems to flow, but I get stuck on that part, cuz it makes no sense to me ;)

Here is a quote from Heaven by Randy Alcorn pg269

"If we would miss something from our old lives and the Old Earth, it would be available to us on the New Earth. Why? Because we will experience all God intends for us. He fashions us to want precisely what He will give us, so what he gives us will be exactly what we want"

O, ya, Tim and I finally got a date!!! YAY!!!

we had so much fun

I think that joy is a good thermometer of my spiritual life ....seeing some today, not full... there you go....really honest with you...cuz i am not living life(with God) to the full!


We are having 5 day club this week at our house...it is so fun! I was really dreading it (here's why.... it's in the middle of the day....i CAN'T go to the BEACH!!!) but it has been quite fun and I am getting a better chance to get to know my neighbors. It's great!

well, not much else is going on in life....so

later....

what in the world!! i can't get my letters to be small!!! That post refuses to be be edited....

see below

I realize that I was talking about not having joy in an earlier post.... and not having it, well, fyi...God has given it to me again. I do not take it for granted! Days without it make me realize how I depend on Him for it :) Which is fine ;)

Here's something fun....well, for me anyway...I found (she found me rather) a my best friend from gradeschool. We have been chatting online for a week or so now....She seems to still have a lot in common with me... I am very much enjoying the connection. I had looked for her for quite a while and not been able to find her....so that was cool that she found me! It's funny tho, cuz it takes me back to childhood like crazy...I felt like I was living in my memories for a couple days there :) Anyway, it's been fun....

Hi Mia! (if you end up reading this ;)

I forgot to give you all a pic of our fourth of July festivities....

Since it is my dad's bday, we usually go spend it with my family.... I love it! Fireworks bday Celebration....while i didn't get pics of the whole day, i took pics of the rocket launch...

Being made for Joy, as in my title...makes it hard when i don't have joy...

That's where i am today... i am still striving for it, but it is a harder day for that today! No particular reason...nothing particular going on, just one of 'those' days...

On the other hand, I have sooo much to be thankful for, A great husband and family, all my needs met, great friends and family, etc, etc....so that's where I will keep my mind for today ;)
