The Scooter Commercial

You know you are getting old when everything you watch on TV has the 'Scooter' commercial in it! I bet I saw that man say "you need to order the Scooter......" 20 times this morning! And the bad thing is......that Scooter is starting to look pretty good! Don't be surprised if you see me zipping around Hwy 160 on my new bright red scooter!!

Anyway..... I thought I'd share that with you.....

The summer is getting hotter so it must be time for the kids to be getting ready to go back to school....Wasn't it just last week when they were getting out??

Remember when summer lasted a full 3 months and the first day you went back you wore your new plaid wool jumper with the red sweater to match??? I have pictures of me on the first day of school with my jacket on OVER the sweater......now I KNOW I'm getting old......next I'll be saying....:When I was a kid.....we walked to school four miles in three feet of snow on the first day of school!!! ' My mother would be so proud!!!!

Gotta go.....Game Show Network might be showing my favorite commercial.................

The Pot Show

I added a new element to my Chirp today....It's a slideshow and the theme is flower pots.....I hope you enjoy it and as you look at the various and sundry pots...think of the Potter and the joy He had in making YOU!!! I love each crack and bump and beautiful decoration! And don't forget that even the plainest pot can hold magnificent beauty!!!! :)

O.K. ...so I haven't 'chirped' for a while.....and this one will be short (hard to believe, right?)

Crossrads VBS was awesome....over 100 kids everyday....6 professions of faith....and everyone did such an amazing job in Cosmo City!!!

And the Earthen Vessel SSC party was awesome Sunday evening! What an amazing sisterhood! (More on that later).

Today..... I feel so privileged to serve such an awesome God....He moves in ways we could never imagine and loves, loves, loves us no mater the who, where, what or why's we are.....now Who else do you know that feels that way about you????

I have to scoot right now......I'm using the word awesome WAY too much....gotta go think of another word!!!
Chirp at you later!

It's been several days since I've 'blogged'....(that is such a weird word!...sounds like the way you feel after eating bad seafood!) but the green and purple moster (Mr. Migrain) kept me hostage for a while and then I got busy.......I thought today would be a good day to 'blog'...(O.K. ...here's that word again.....I'm gonna change the word blog to....let me think.....wait a minute....I got it! Blog will from hereafter be called....YAK....no not yak...that sounds just as bad!!! How about this: Blog is now changed to CHIRP!! Chirp! ....a bird chirps when they are happy or sad or need to send news to the other birds or just want to vent because the cat is trying to break into their nest.... or just for the sake of chirping...and so it is with me....) I proclaim that this no longer a blog.....it's a chirp!

Now, on to other things....VBS starts today at Crossroads Baptist Church!!! We need to pray for the workers and every soul that attends. this is an exciting time for our church family and neighborhood!

Also you Earthen Vessels out there....Sunday night at 5 at the church is our very first SSClass Social! Dinner will be provided ..just bring your thinking caps with you....we want to make our SSC better than ever!

Chirp to ya later....see.....that sounds so much nicer!!!!N

So it's thundering and making all kinds of noise outside and my 'friend' the migraine is taping on my head again. You would think that the same folks that can make a monkey's heart work in a human could figure out a way to stop these horrible monsters! I imagine my migraines as green and purple monsters with huge fists.....to beat on your head with.......and smelling breath......to make you nauseous.......and loud screaming voices......to make your ears ring!!! Not to mention they won't go away...(just like the green stuff in my refidge that I'm scared to throw out....I think it's alive!!)
Well.....I thought I'd just share that with you since the green and purple monster will probably put me out of commission for a while! You know, you have to have a sense of humor about it or you'd go nuts!!!

Before I take the med-that-makes-me-goofy (er) I thought I'd bring up another thought to the Earthen Vessels.......you know how we were talking about how important the time 3 AM and 3 PM is in the Bible?.....well I did some research and it is VERY interesting... I plan on bringing it Sunday....if the monster goes away today. Anyway, I thought about how important the NUMBER 3 is to God. .....The trinity......on the third day.....etc. And then I realized it's been an important number in my life as well.....I'm the 3rd kid.......I was pregnant 3 times and I have 3 PRECIOUS grandkids.........And you will never believe this.....I just looked at the time on my computer and guess what time it is????? 3PM......Wow....we have so much to ponder about our amazing Father, don't we??? Love you all.......N

O.K. As many of you know....I'm always writing a book....actually a series of books and can't seem to feel right about them to send them off.......well.....I took a first step and sent a rough draft to a friend to look over. It's not the WHOLE book because the WHOLE book is a saga which won't be ready in forever......But this is a first step....yea!! I just hope I get brave enough to take the next step...pray for confidence!!

Those of you that are Earthen Vessels......hope you can come to the SS class get-together July 20 at 5PM. Maybe we can get some new ministries up and running

I'll leave you with a funny story...........A little boy was crying after he and his family were leaving church following the dedication of his baby brother. "Why are you upset, son?', His father asked.
The boy wiped his tears and sobbed,"The preacher said he wanted the baby to grow up in a good Christian home......but I want him to stay with US!!!" Blog ya later.............

As you might can tell, I deleted some of my previous posts because they were mostly for my grandkids. (I've moved them to another place). The reason you may ask??? I thought this blog would be a great way for we - Earthen Vessels- to use this page as the 'lighter side' of our journey with Christ......and WOW my journey is filled with comedy....how about yours????
