Dr. Phil
Well, tonight Dr. Phil was on David Letterman. We could not believe what he said! He is now advocating single parent homes. Dr. Phil said children prefer to be from a broken marriage than to be in one. He has to know that doesn't hold up statisically. Does he think about the women who have been hanging on in their marriage who might get a divorce instead of going to counseling because they believe every word Dr. Phil says? I am sorry to see Dr. Phil becoming Hollywood-ized. It is even more sad that he purports himself as being a Christian. Actually, I can't say that. I have never heard him say he is a Christian. He IS moral, and a lot of Christian women (and men!) follow him like sheep. It seems whenever a celebrity appears moral, people flock to them, not caring what their actual belief system is. We would do well to be more like the Bereans.
Olive Garden Stuffed Mushrooms (Copycat) Recipe
Jef & I absolutely LOVE the Olive Garden's stuffed mushrooms. Since Christmas is coming, and some of you mgiht be having buffets or Christmas dinners (or might jsut want to splurge), I thought I would share this recipe with you. :) Enjoy!!
It just keeps getting better...
This morning while we were praying, Jef's cell phone rang. He got a call from one of the places where he'd dropped off his brochure!!! So Jef got to work three hours today!! :) God is good!!
The boys also played football with their cousins. Jacob, Daniel & Jonathan tossing the ball. Nicholas had such fun with the football that Matthew & Jacob got him one for his birthday! June 2005
All of the boys got to play! Nicholas, Daniel & Jonathan (you can see a bit ofMatthew's red shirt). June 2005
The boys had fun jumping on the trampoline. Here you can see Matthew & Jonathan on the trampoline and Jacob looking in from outside. june 2005
Grandma & Nicholas. This picture was taken in June 2005. This bear sings "Singin' in the Rain". The boys got it for Mom for her birthday. We had a party for Evva at Doug & Marie's house (Jef's brother).
It's a God Thing
A few weeks ago, I ran out of Swiffer Wet Jet cleaning pads. "No big deal," I thought. "I still have my mop. I'll just use that." No such luck. My mop is an O-Cedar mop with a removeable head, so you can wash it. Well, I can't find the mop head. Either I washed it and lost it between the Laundromat & home, or I lost it at home. :( Anyways ... Last time I did the kitchen floor, I had to do it the old-fashioned way - with a bucket on my hands & knees. :pFast-forward to tonight. The doorbell rings, it is the UPS guy. He hands me a box, addressed specifically to me. The return address says "Janet Hall". "Who is that?" I think.First thought was it was a misdirected Christmas present. Jef opens the package and we see it is from Janet Hall, Home Testing Institute. Inside the box is (drumroll please) a NEW SWIFFER WET JET!!!!! A BRAND NEW SWIFFER WET JET with A BOX OF CLEANING PADS and A BOTTLE OF CLEANER and SCRUBBY THINGS!!!!!!!!!!! God is so cool!!!!!!!!!! And if that weren't enough - get this - the survey goes for 12 weeks, and after the 12 weeks, if I've sent everything back that is required, they will send me $25!!!!! We aren't sure if they are going to ask for the wet jet back (it would seem silly to us to do so) but even if they do, the $25 will cover a new one! :) We are rejoicing over here. It's so exciting to see all these ways God is surprising us! :) Did I tell you about the oil & the gallon-sized Ziploc bags? :) If not, I will.
