Wednesday, January 17, 2007 PrayerThis morning I was thinking about my prayer time. How flipant are you when you pray? Too many times my mind can wander when I pray if I'm not careful. I think a lot of times that's satan's way of keeping me from communicating with God, he knows the power of prayer. I know I also don't think about prayer as being a privilege. It's not that I don't know it, but take it for granted. Just think, how would you act if you were going to meet the President of the United States or someone else that society sees as important? Would you let your mind wander? Would you act the same while you were visiting with this person as you do when you pray? If you were presenting a problem or idea to him, would you present it in the way you bring your prayers to God? Probably not. When we pray, we are speaking to God who spoke everything into existence, who died for us so that we would not have to spend eternity in hell. How much more important is He than anyone you can think of on earth? Yet we don't treat him with even the respect we would someone here on earth. I don't think you need fancy words or eloquent speech, God doesn't need that. Simple words, grammatically incorrect, this doesn't matter. The wonderful thing is, he wants to have a personal relationship with us, unlike the important person mentioned above. I need to give God the reverence and respect he deserves. I need to think about to whom it is I'm speaking, do you?Chrisi Coffee Talk at 10:30 PM

 This little stinker has been getting out of her kennel, that is 6ft high. She climbs to the top and drops to the ground. We've lost count how many times she has gotten out. Even after getting her leg caught about 3 or 4 times and hanging there until we found her (which we know wasn't too long after she did it). Every time she got out she would always stay up near the house, usually on or near the porch. Yesterday morning she got out for the last time. We found her when my hubby was taking me to work on the road. The way she was hit we could tell she didn't suffer, I won't go into the icky details. She was so sweet, when she would get out you just called her and she would come running into your arms. I'm just thankful she didn't hang herself and suffer. I was so afraid every day I would come home from work and find her caught on the fence where she had suffered all day. Sorry for the depressing post. :o(  Chrisi Coffee Talk at 6:48 AM

Sunday, January 14, 2007 Senior Pictures This is Heather. She was posing for Rachel on the walking bridge and then decided to make this beautiful face for me. Yesterday Rachel took Heather's Senior pictures at Chickamauga Battlefield and in Chattanooga. The plan was to go to the art district in Chattanooga, but we stopped off at the tower in the battlefield on the way up. We had such a beautiful day for pictures. We walked across the walking bridge over to the museum and she got some shots around there.  This is Heather standing on the glass bridge that goes to the museum. I'm not real paranoid of heights, but the glass really made me nervous. I had a wonderful time, but my feet sure did hurt when we were done.  Heather and Rachel resting and thinking. She had just finished shooting a picture of Heather on this bench/wall. After we left Chattanooga we went to IHOP for lunch, we were all starving since we didn't have any breakfast. I didn't make very good food choices, I haven't been to IHOP in about 5 years. Even then I was sick and didn't keep any of it down. :o( When we finished the waitress came by and asked us if we wanted any cheesecake, to which I replied, "Oh no, no, no, no." I noticed Rachel was looking at me kinda weird and she said yes to the waitress. I thought this was kinda weird because I thought we were all getting pretty full. Then I looked that waitress who had kind of a weird look on her face too and said, "I must have misunderstood you, what did you say?" She repeated, "Would you like this all on one bill?" I immediately started laughing and apologized explaining what I thought she had said. Then we were all laughing. Rachel said, "I was thinking goodness Chrisi, I'll pay if it's that big of a deal." Rachel and I had the giggles about that for quite a while after words, a little too long according to Heather. Rachel has this way of just looking at me and snickering when I get tickled about something that makes me start laughing all over again. Which in turn usually makes her laugh too and starts the whole thing over again. Laughter is good medicine they say, I should be healthy for about a month with the laughing I did at IHOP. It was a good day. |
