I am amazed by the Jesus I love and live for. I am amazed that someone loves me so much that He died for me.  He created me in my mother's womb, knows the number of hairs on my head, knows me and my choices before I even make them.  I am sure He puts his hands on his head at times and just shakes it!  He loves you too.  Billy Graham Ministry sent this to my inbox today and I thought it was important to share.  On Sunday, Easter Sunday, if you don't have a homechurch, I ask that you go to http://www.bayrevival.org/ and watch at 10:30 central time.  Rabbi Curt Landry will be speaking and it will be incredible.  Join us at church at http://www.bayrevival.org/ for an anointed service. The Beauty and the Agony of the Cross April 21, 2011 - Jesus Christ died on a rugged cross for our salvation. We do not worship that cross; we worship Christ, who is alive. Yet among all the emblems of the world, the cross is admired with awe and wonder.  I f I am li...

What a beautiful day!

It was raining this morning but it turned out just beautiful and cool.  We took a road trip out to the mountains and it was so incredibly beautiful!  It is just pretty here!  We took Mary Magg to the dr. today to get her final shot and heartworm meds.  The dr. said Mary is not  5 yrs old but only 2.  She did really well but so happy to be in her "mom's" arms again. She was just 5 lbs when we got her two weeks ago but because of cottage cheese and Iam's food, she has gained almost 2 lbs.  We asked her how much should she be and she said until she looks healthy.  So, we determined to put at least another 1/2 lb.  She loves to race!  We will say, ready, set, go and she will race with us.  It's kinda fun. We went to the Appalachia Museum yesterday.  It was wonderful, the musical instruments were hilarious and really neat.  We saw Peacocks along the way and lots of really neat baskets, outbuildings, and more....

Oh what the Lord has done, what my eyes have seen...

Good beautiful rainy morning from Heiskell TN!  Many natural disasters are happening all over, a few churches have burnt down according to the news.  Oh what in the world is happening?  Let's look into the mirror?  Who are you?  What are you really like deep down?  Is there unforgiveness in your past?  Have you asked for forgiveness for those that you have hurt and asked the Lord to forgive you? Easter is in just a few days and the wonder of His Love comes through so much than any other time!  As we experience this beautiful country here, it blows my mind how each area has incredibly gifted people in each place.  Here are a few pics to share.

Oh How I remember teaching during Lent.  How to receive your first communion and what it really means.  How did we get it in the first place?  It's the Jewish Passover celebrated by Jesus with His disciples as the Last Supper.  The jews left Egypt so fast, but first the LORD had instructions for them.  We celebrate it as Jesus celebrated with his disciples.  Here's a bit more explanation: What Every Christian Needs to Know About Passover Russ Jones , ChristianPress.com Wednesday, March 31, 2010 In many circles there appears to be an increasing interest in the Jewish roots of the Christian faith. This Easter season numerous congregations across the globe will hold a "Passover Haggadah" or more traditionally known as a "Seder" to gain a greater understanding of the Christian - Jewish relationship. A Brief History Passover is the oldest and most important religious festival in Judaism, commemorating God's deliverance of the Hebrews from slavery in E...

Preparations

In everyone's life, it takes prep work to take on a new job, a new outlook, a new hobby, a new pet, a new child, or a new way of living.  For us it's no different. We are on the move every few months, sometimes every six months these days.  We need to prepare for the move, we need to see what the area is like, we need to find the Wal-mart and sometimes we have found a local church.  This time seems a bit different though. We have a Pastor's conference at Perry Stone's.  He is an evangelist and God has done and continues to do an incredible work in this man.  Here is the link to his site.  Perry Stone    His site is loaded with a great deal of learning.  He also hosts and does Manna Fest on TV. Here is what we will be learning there: IN 2011 I AM ADDING MANY NEW INSIGHTS AND INSTRUCTIONS TO OUR INSTITUTE Your Personal Life The power of fasting and learning how to pray to receive answers from God The battle with temptation, depressio...

Here we grow again and again and again!

Lots have happened here! We have sincerely discussed an incredible new journey in our lives, we would talk about it when we walked, we would talk about it when we would see others with one.  We would talk ourselves out of it and we would wait until later to get a dog. Well, we are in TN and I decided to take a peek at the SPCA website in this area.  There was a little yorkie/poodle mix up for adoption.  Well, the same day we decided to head up over the Smoky's to see Cherokee and the KOA.  We were offered a job at that KOA, they said they would take off the wheels off our rig so we had to stay!  We just laughed at them!   There were ice sickles hanging out on the walls of the mountain and about 1 1/2 in. of snow on the mountain road when we went over.  Construction of a new retaining wall, very important, since it is a huge drop down the mountain!   Along the way we came across a grist mill that still works and still runs lots of water through...
