R U Tattooed?
Hey, if you get a tattoo, don't I get one too?
OK, true confessions! This was a PRANK we played on the kids. Don always pulls pranks on them and manages to keep a straight face.

Who Moved My Cheese?

Has anyone read this book? Our oldest son called, very excited about this book! Excited enough to say he would buy one for everyone to read. Since Don and I were going to a bookstore that night to hang out with friends, we picked up the book while were there.
I loved this book. Its not a Christian book - but the simplicity of the story and the truth of it will surprise you. A lot of big corporations have used it and I can see why.
Its written as a story of two mice and two little people, who all have very different ways of approaching life. Especially hunting for the cheese and what they do with the cheese once they find it. You will see yourself in these characters and you will put all of your friends in one of 4 categories.....Sniff, Scurry, Hem or Haw....when it comes to how you / they behave when the cheese is moved!!!
And what exactly is 'your cheese'? Career, finances, health, money, marriage, talent, relationships, ministry? Take a look at how to "move with the cheese."
There is a teen version and one for kids also.
The book takes less than an hour to read . . . go ahead . . . find out what happens when someone moves the cheese.

This past week . . .

I lost track of time and stopped posting! Father's Day was very low key due to Ronda, our daughter-in-law, being ill with strep throat. So, we have had strep in the house, but praise God, no one else caught it and she is much better. We had a couple of days where some of us didn't feel great, but we are all good at this point.
We celebrated Father's Day with the kids here, ate steaks and sat under the fan and a/c.
Its the beginning of my third week at the gym - another praise. I started weight training, as well as cardio. My muscles are yelling rude words at me. :0)
Sad news yesterday - one of our friends died unexpectedly. He was 30 and we have known him since he was in jr. high. We watched as he brought his girlfriend to the youth group at our house, smiled as they fell in love and celebrated when they were married nearly 8 years ago. Derek will be missed. He was a talented poet, winning many awards in his short lifetime. He was devoted to his wife Katina. The Lord called him home long before we were ready to let him go. One day we'll understand why those younger than us sometimes die first. This side of heaven, I don't think we can grasp it.
Blessed be the name of the Lord,
In His love He gives and takes away
He loves us passionately.
