Sunday Scripture

Acts 2:38

A woman had just returned to her home from an evening of church services, when she was startled by an intruder. She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled: 'Stop! Acts 2:38!'(Repent and be Baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ , so that your sinsMay be forgiven.)

The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done.

As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar: 'Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture toYou.'

'Scripture?' replied the burglar. 'She said she had an Ax and Two 38s!'

5K Results

In years past (too many than I like to admit), I used to run some sort of organized running event, once a month. It was my little way to keep me motivated and keep running.

Then, life got in the way and I just quit doing running events and cycling events. Shame on me for letting life get in the way.

As I've blogged about, I've been running more, trying to beat the 40 yr. bulge...I have a few years to go....so I am hoping to win this one!!

My husband has never participated in an organized running event, and he has asked me if I've ever one one...my response, "Nope, I'm not from Zimbabwa and I have a life." Which just about sums it up.....

I registered for a Valentine's Day 5 K.....I was excited b/c it had been awhile. I get there, over 500 runners, ready to run this on a cold day (I almost didn't go b/c I HATE the cold!). I had talked to my sister, the super-star runner the day before, and all she said was, "Run Fast." So I have her on one side telling me to run fast and on the other side my husband wondering why I'm running it if I'm not going to win. So, little ol' me runs my heart out and you want to know what??? I GOT 4TH PLACE IN MY AGE DEVISION!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH ME!!!!!!!!!!!! So, any of you that feels that you can't get out there and do it, you can! Trust me, I'm a TURTLE!

SA Stock Show

Nanna took Little to the stock show on Friday. It was a girls' day and she had a blast. She got bossy with the critters and was the only child in the petting zoo to get in trouble b/c she wanted to ride the Axis deer. That's my girl!!!

"I'm bigger than you and I can tell you what to do."



"Whatcha doing?"
"Hi Mr. Valasik Pickle stork."

"Hmmmm, I think you are about the right size to ride!"


"Faster, faster, faster." (she tells me this while running and driving, so why wouldn't she do it on a pony?)

Friday Fun

I did this and it turned out weird....I chose kids' songs that I sing with my daughter (go figure), but it is still something fun to do!!!!

Thursday's Thought

You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that, my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it." ~~ Dr. Adrian Rogers ~~

Friends

My daughter has both an alter ego and an imaginary friend....don't really have issue with either b/c it shows she has a creative mind. The hard part is that they are both called by the same name: WeeWee. The only thing I can come up with is she got it from the "Little Piggy" song, b/c she'll tell me that WeeWee says, "wee wee wee, all the way home!"

Sometimes she'll tell me that Wee Wee wants a drink or WeeWee is playing. Depending on her mood, she'll tell you she is WeeWee, or no, she's not WeeWee; same thing with pointing to herself to tell you she is or isn't....regardless, it is VERY funny!!

Here's your sign....

So we all watch Michael Phelps this summer rock-n-roll during the Olympics. He's an amazing athlete, but he sure is not all there when it comes to extra-curricular activities and even more so, who he hangs out with. I'm not going to speak to the activity that he got caught with b/c that's a moral debate I don't want to have. Basically I feel that you can do whatever you want to do behind your own closed doors, as long as you aren't harming someone (of course, this is all within reason and legality)......anyway, my question/comment is that if you are going to choose this as your extra-curricular activity, you need to pick better friends b/c I'd think this is something you'd do with folks you know and who wouldn't double cross you and post this to the Internet....so he wins the "Here's your sign" award for stupidity...on multiple levels!!!
