Sacrifice for The Lord!

I decided a while back to ban Pepsi and all of its products, which includes, Quaker, Gatorade, and Frito Lay! Believe me Pepsi and Lays Chips were two of my favorite foods. My reason for the boycott is that Pepsi Co. has been donating lots of money to gay rights as well as promoting the gay lifestyle on their television commercials. Do I not like gay people? It has nothing to do with LIKING or DISLIKING a person, but instead has everything to do with obeying my Lord. The Scriptures tell us, James 1:22 “don’t just listen to the scriptures, do what IT says”. If you are truly living for the Lord and living by the scriptures as the Lord directs us to do, then are you not ignoring and defying as well as choosing not to sacrifice for the Lord when you continue to enjoy these products as long as they support ANTI-CHRISTIAN agendas? Sacrifice for HIM is not something HE wants, it is something HE expects from HIS dedicated believers.
Mark 8:34-36
Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “If anyone would come after ME, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow ME. for whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for ME and the Gospel, will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world yet forfeit his soul?"

Have a prayer filled day,

Texas Pledge

I am so pleased and proud that a supreme court judge ruled on Friday that the word GOD was to remain in the Texas Pledge Of Allegiance. I know God is smiling down on this decision!

Tyler and Rob Golfing.....

As you all know, Rob and Tyler are both in Boy Scouts....
Well there is a golfing badge that Tyler needed. So, Rob and I took him Golfing last Wednesday (a week ago yesterday). We had a wonderful time. I was thrilled to watch Tyler learn this sport from his dad as Rob is a sports nut and a natural born teacher. I thank God daily for this new family to add to my existing wonderful family.

Stevee's new home

Well Stevee Marie called me from Sam Houston today and...... She signed her first apartment lease. Is she really old enough to do that... hmmmm. The apartment will be for next year. She will be sharing it with a friend named Nadia. I have met Nadia and she seems very sweet. I am so excited for Stevee.

Rob and I went to see Marley and Me!

I absolutely fell in love with this movie..... I must purchase it when it comes out. Marley reminds me of my little Elsie and Rusty's big Buddy all bundled into one dog. For example Elsie made me chase her around the game room to get onto her for chewing up the bag the cat food was in... did I ever catch her. NO. I finally started throwing clothes at her so she would know I meant business. She ran for cover under Diane's desk.

Stevee is home for Spring Break... YEAH

Stevee is home for Spring Break... I have missed her so so much. I am amazed at how much she has matured since I last saw her. It has only been a VERY short time, but WOW! My baby is so adult now in her thinking. I will post pics soon. It amazes me how much she and I are alike. Even in looks, Diane walked into the kitchen the other day, and actually thought I was Stevee....

Samantha's Birthday 2009

Rob's niece Samantha that just turned 9 had her family dinner get together last night. Guess where this sweet little 9 year old wanted to go...... Donna's Kitchen!
We had a great time and the food was really good. Samantha wanted to go their because she said "They have the best cheese sticks in the world". I think that is so cool!

Stars Game 2009

Rob took Tyler and I too the Dallas Stars Game this past Saturday. We had a wonderful time. We went with Tyler's Boy Scout Troop. This would be a wonderful thing to entertain a family with...so maybe we should all go to a game?

me, just me...

Sometimes, when you sit and think about life you get a clarifying in site of just how happy and blessed you are. We should remember this daily, but I know I don't. I have less material things in life now than I have ever had in my past life, but I still feel happier and more free now. Sure, I have a few things I want to improve on in my life. But over all, less has been best for me. It took me a long time to see that. Of course I do not have two small children I am raising on my own right now either, and that makes a huge difference in the stress level. There are so so so many things regarding my children that I wish I could go back in time and redeem a "do over" on. But since I can't I have made peace with me. And that is a great thing for anyone to do!
My Father God always has me in his grasp, and I love it.
