Happy13'th Birthday Bethany!

Sweet little Bethany Rose, the sweetest little Rose that grows and grows.  That's the song I sang to you as a baby as I held you in my arms.  You are still my sweet Bethany Rose, but no longer  so little.  I have been watching you grow, watching you bloom into the sweet young lady that you are becomming.  You are so beautiful inside and out and a mother couldn't be more prouder than I am of you.  You are such a special girl and I know that God has a great plan for your life.  Continue to trust in Him and walk in the light.  Momma loves you!!

Terrorist Groups in Churches

Beware of Terrorist Groups in Church.  Latest news reports are that five terrorist cell groups have been operating in many of our churches. They have been identified as: Bin Sleepin, Bin Arguin, Bin Fightin, Bin Complainin, and Bin Missin. Their leader, Lucifer Bin Workin, trained these groups to destroy the Body of Christ. The plan is to come into the church disguised as Christians and to work within the church to discourage, disrupt, and destroy. However, there have been reports of a sixth group. A tiny cell known by the name Bin Prayin is actually the only effective counter terrorism force in the church. Unlike other terrorist cells, the Bin Prayin team does not blend in with whoever and whatever comes along. Bin Prayin does whatever is needed to uplift and encourage the Body of Christ. We have noticed that the Bin Prayin cell group has different characteristics than the others. They have Bin Watchin, Bin Waitin, Bin Fastin, and Bin Longin for their Master, Jesus Christ to return. NO CHURCH IS EXEMPT! (However, you can spot them if you bin lookin and bin goin.)

Independence Day

I absolutely love the 4'th of July.  I mean really LOVE it!  There is just something about the BBQ's, the family get togethers, the fireworks, that just makes me so happy.  Tonight when we realized that most of our neighbors were setting off their fireworks we got in our suits and enjoyed the show from the pool!  Tomorrow night we'll set off ours and probably go for a night swim when we are done.  We are so enjoying our new pool!!  Monday we will be having a family BBQ and then head to one of the surrounding towns to watch a firework display. 

I've been searching the Internet over looking at some of the 4'th of July goodies and here are a few of my favorites!

Don't you just love the looks of these strawberries!  They are dipped in white chocolate and rolled in blue colored sugar.  I am thoroughly convinced that they must taste as good as they look.

And these ice-cream sandwiches are too cute for words!  Same idea here....dipped in chocolate and rolled in sprinkles.  I found both of these patriotic treats over at Simply Home and Family.

I was super excited about these patriotic jello snacks that I found over at Green Acres Hobby Farm and decided it was just what we needed at our family BBQ, but do you know I could not find blue jello anywhere. BOO! 

One last one!  Isn't this fruit kebab flag so fun!  One year I made red, white and blue fruit kebabs but never thought of arranging it to look like a flag.  I will have to try this. :):):)
