yesterday our preacher talked about attitude. I so agreed with him. It seems life will be going along great and I will hit a brick wall and all of a sudden the attitude pops up like a angry snake. I try to control it but sometimes it is just there. I tell people I have a donald duck temper . yes me, hard to believe huh? Enless you've seen me in action. This is one of the things that GOD works on in our lives. and I flunk the test and have to start all over. someday I'll get it right.

Famous preacher and author Chuck Swidol said " Life is 10% what happens to u and 90% how u respond to it." Makes a lot of sense to me. If u have a good attitude about anything then it makes it easier to stay positive and keep going, but when the bad one comes around it's like taking a detour from the direction u need to be going in. Don't give up just keep working on it and some day we'll get it right.

This morning someone sent me a picture of the smallest prayer mantis I have ever seen. and I got to thinking about how wonderfully perfect he was made. Little tiny brain, stomach, heart, lungs and everything works perfect. Then thinking on, about a nat. How can anyone not believe in a Creator when things like this are in the world?
How can all these differant things come from a "big bang theory?" Have you ever seen a fire fly? How awsome it is to watch the little bugs flit around with their tails lite up. We use to catch them when I was a kid and put them in mason jars and watch them for a while then let them go.
Once my cousin who was 5 and I was 10 came to visit and we got a jar of them and were in bed watching them and she opened the jar and let them lose in the room. oops!
Last year, we bought 13 chicks and were told how to raise them with the heat lite and special food and keep them warm. so we did then this year one of those hens hatched a baby chick and we watch in amazement as that momma takes such good care of that baby. no special food, no heat lamp, and still everyday it seems to get a little bigger and a little stronger. no special treatment except that she protects him from danger.
That also reminds me of the scripture where GOD said He would have gathered us under His wings as a mother hen gathers her chicks but we wouldn't let Him. matt. 23:37.
Everyday is a chance to witness another miracle. somethings we don't understand, like the lose of a loved one. but one day it will all come together and we will see the big picture.

Well here I am after a long absence. I seem to get myself in trouble with out even leaving the house. Here we go again.
You've heard of it's a dogs life? Well I have my two boys and kathy and
roy are going on vacation for 2 weeks so I went to get their 3 and when I got back home I had a call that my cousin is in the hospital and could I come get her dog to take care of it. The problem with "Nicky", is that he bites everyone but me. I don't know why he likes me and vern but he does. I was worrried about what would happen when I brought him home to 5 others. I locked them all out on the back room and let him look around and after a few mins I let one of the dogs in so he could check them out, he didn't eat him so I figured the coast was clear. So after a little longer I let them all in and they are doing great.
It is hard to believe he is a different dog here then at his home. I think because he loves Becky he thinks he has to protect her and the apt. But now he is just running around with all the others. I had to show him the doggy door and how to use it but he got the hang pretty quick.

They are doing ok but when u walk through the house you literally do the "dog shuffle" so u don't trip on anyone, or step one anyone. and when one gets petted they all get petted. well wish me luck for the next two weeks, I'll let u know if we all survive haha
