I know for a lot of you snow on Christmas is a common occurrence but here in good ol' Alvin Texas it has never happened in recorded history so in about 29 minutes it could be the first time it has ever snowed on Christmas. It has been snowing for about 6 hours now- just a little at a time but none the less it is sticking to the ground. I video taped it just in case you don't believe me.
We have had a great holiday so far. My birthday went great on Wednesday. We went out to dinner for mine and mom's birthdays last night and that was a lot of fun too. Ty is so so cute. We opened presents tonight and he was adorable. I will never understand why little kids like the wrapping paper more than the present but it was cute watching him play.
I hope that everyone has a great Christmas! Be Blessed!!!

Birthday Countdown
One hour and counting and I will officially be 21. That means that the next really big birthday to look forward to is "Over the Hill." Yes!!
But really, today was mom's birthday and it was a lot of fun tonight. We entertained mom with aerobics. My sister and I busted out the Jane Fonda VHS Work-Out. I am tired- and we didn't even do the whole thing! I need to work-out more!
Everything is going great! hope everyone has a great holiday season!
Be Blessed!!!

Praise God
What a great morning. I must say that I am not accustom to getting up at 8:15 on a Saturday morning but this morning it was well worth it. This morning members of our congregation got up and met to deliver food to people around Alvin. Our car/truck delivered to 9 families and there were lots of other people who took lots more food. What a great feeling to help people in the name of the Lord.
My family and I watched a movie Thursday night entitled "Time Changers" It is really a good movie with a good point. Grant it, some parts are really cheesey but hey, it gets the message across. It talked about giving credit where credit is due. Let me explain. For so long people have been saying it's wrong to steal and it's wrong to kill and it's wrong to lie etc. This movie addresses the question..."Who says?" It talks about giving God credit. When we explain to children that it's wrong to steal we need to also tell them that it's wrong to steal because God says it's wrong, not just because it against the law. I recommend watching it at least once. There is also a lot of good "preaching material" in it (I won't be surprised if I hear it mentioned from the pulpit in the next couple of weeks).
Other News: Things are really going swell. My grades turned out just fine and dandy and I finished "The Five People you meet in Heaven." I have been avoiding the made for TV movie of the book until I finished the book so now I am anxiously awaiting the next time it airs. Family is good. Cousin was here and the left- stinker! He'll be back soon I think.
I don't have a job this Christmas break- things fell through so I am keeping occupied by doing nothing. It's nice to relax after an 18 hour semester but I'm done relaxing- I wish I had something to do! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Well, I hope all is going well where you are and I look forward to hearing about how your break is going. Let me know!
Birthday countdown: 4 days! (December 22 for those of you who are counting challenged)
Have a Merry Christmas and Be Blessed!!!

Cool little exercise
Found this on another blog. Certainly an interesting exercise
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your own blog...Along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the "coolest" book you can find.Do what's actually next to you.
6. Reflect on the sentence, if you can.
Page 123- fifth sentence from the book: The Five People you Meet in Heaven
"I don't understand."
You know I have been saying that a lot in my Greek class lately. I would like to make so cool relation of this sentence to my life but really, I just don't understand Greek! At this point I am thinking, "SOMEONE ALREADY DID THE TRANSLATION!!!" Anyway! Enough about that.
In Other News: I turned in Camp Shekinah today! Wasn't able to put as much into it as I wanted just because I would have needed a couple more months for that, but I am pleased with how everything turned out and I would love to show anyone who is interested as soon as Robert gives them back to us.
Life is good! I have said it before but I want to say it again, when I look around and see everything that God has allowed me to do in my life and the people he has blessed me with, I can't help but to be grateful for the life he has given me. God is good!
Hey, I hope everyone has a great weekend and I look forward to looking for the 5th sentence on everyone's blog. Be Blessed!!!
