Chef Rodney

Rodney loves to cook....I have encouraged him lately

to maybe pursue taking a cooking class.....this

is a concoction of shrimp, walnuts, fruit...and Lordy

knows what else....all I know is that is was DELICIOUS!

The Sweetest Dog in the World!

I want you to know that this doggie is SO precious.....

she just sat there so still for me....she of course was SO hot I could not

get a shot without 'the tongue' .....

Just me RANTING!

I'm amazed more and more each day at the mercy of God.
That's one reason I love the song 'ya make ya mercy new
every day, you changed my life in so many ways....'
ooohh, I gotta pull that cd out....it's old but who cares....!I'm just
a little tire of it all....'it's old, it's traditional....WHO CARES????
God sure don't!! Nobody wants to be on top of things more than me.
Nobody wants the latest and greatest more than me!!!!
I just wanna have CHURCH. I find myself lately craving a good ole
devil stompin....dancing on the grave of the enemy shout down!!!!
Anybody with me? I get so weary sometimes with everything having
to be 'proper' and orderly....what happened to the days when the
power literally shook the house and the bobby pins went flying!!!???
We just had church! What's so wrong with that? It must have worked,
because I'M STILL HERE!!!!!!!!!!! Nowadays, if you break out it's almost
frowned upon because we might 'scare somebody off'....I'm sorry,
I don't believe that the power of God is gonna scare off a TRUE, hungry
searching heart!!! This world is so full of hate, disappointment, pain,
sorrow, darkness....people need something REAL...something DIFFERENT
...something POWERFUL!!!! Its' like FIRE shut up in my bones....
I realize we all have different personalities and 'expressions of worship'
I don't expect everyone to be like me! But come ON....lets get with
it people!!!! Are we really Apostolic ? I think WE have been refined,
transformed into mannequins....
Cuz, what I see in churches today ain't too apostolic.....It's been a long
time since I've seen someone REALLY transformed by the HOLYGHOST.
God hasn't moved, HE hasn't changed...WE HAVE!!!! Society dictates
what is acceptable....what is 'up to date' ....where are the MEN?
Men should be the LEADERS!!!! Not just in the home....but in prayer,
in WORSHIP, in PRAISE!!!!! When I was growing up it was the MEN
that were always in the isles. I know, I know, THAT was THEN.....
THINGS are different now....blah, blah, blah,.......
I was telling someone this week in a rather strong discussion...there is
ONE main thing that I need to leave with my daughter and that is the
ability to TOUCH GOD...that she may KNOW how to touch THE
THRONE when trouble comes is ALL that matters to me!!!
I'm so past what kind of home I live in, what kind of car I drive,
I'm so past materialism and vanity!!!! (probably could stand
to be just a little more vain these days...ha)
Thank God....how did any one tolerate me all those years
I was finding myself!!!!???
I was so prideful and arrogant...SO, SO critical and judgemental!!!!
OH THE STINCH in the nostrils
of the ALMIGHTY!!! I am SO thankful for HIS everlasting
mercy!!! I don't know why I am ranting like this....but it's my
blog and I'll rant if I want to!!! lol....heeeee
I just want the PEACE of God to reign in my heart, life and home.
That my girl might know that no matter what: God is ALWAYS
in control. If she doesn't learn to pray it's no ones fault but my own.
I have failed in A LOT of things in my life. In this, I MUST NOT--
CANNOT fail.

Montana's Groovy Dogs

Montana is absolutely obsessed with dogs....small dogs,

big dogs, cute dogs, ugly dogs, it really doesn't matter!

She would rather play with a stuffed dog of any kind more

than a barbie or baby doll!

I went in her room to check on her yesterday and this is

what she had done with a few of her faves!

Sunglasses and Necklaces!

She wants them framed to put in her room!

The simplicity of being a child......SO REFRESHING :)

She still claims she WILL be a Veternarian when she

grows up....I am getting her a camera for christmas though

to begin training her to take good photos...Hey gotta

have a backup plan......right?

Can't put all of our eggs in one basket, especially these days!
