1st John 1:8-9 says: “If we say we have no sin, we are fooling ourselves, and the truth is not in us. But if we confess our sins, he will forgive our sins, because we can trust God to do what is right.”

This morning we are meeting with AEP to find the cheapest way to get electric to the Quarry that we purchased from my parents...Tim is in love with the Quarry :) Wish us luck!

This evening we are going with Mom and Dad to some sort of a free dinner if we listen to someone talk about healthcare? We will see! Tim is bemoaning the fact that he will miss the season premiere of "The Big Bang"......I told him he could stay home but I think he feels guilty not going with me since I will be spending all day Saturday sitting in a booth at another of his trade shows....Hehehe

Tomorrow I am meeting my daughter and granddaughter in Chillicothe for an early lunch and some shopping.....fun!!

Have a blessed day!

Grace goes beyond mercy.  Mercy gave the prodigal son a second chance.  Grace threw him a party.  Mercy prompted the Samaritan to bandage the wounds of the victim.  Grace prompted him to leave his credit card as payment for the victim’s care. Mercy forgave the thief on the cross.  Grace escorted him into paradise.

Mercy pardons us.  Grace woos and weds us. Grace does this.  God does this.  Grace is God walking into your world with a sparkle in his eye and an offer that’s hard to resist!

“Because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,  made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. Ephesians 2:4-5″

iPad fun!

I just finished talking to and seeing my daughter and the babies with Facetime on my iPad.......I love it!! With the update you just use your phone number and it rings in with the call sooooo easy peasy!

If they can handle seeing Nana in the morning they can handle anything....what a nice way to start the day! Her house reminds me of mine when the four of them were little! Good memories...

Have a love filled day my friends :)

Happy Birthday Jamey...

Mommy loves you!

It was a wonderful weekend!

Friday night Cait spent the night and on Saturday, while I had was at Applebee's having lunch with 2 dear friends (one I hadn't seen for 20 years) Pooh took her to pick pumpkins. They so enjoyed it that when I returned, we went to pick pumpkins, and swing on a crane swing...you heard me right a crane! Cait has such a dry sense of humor, a trait she shares with Pooh,  we have a lot of fun together!

Saturday evening we returned Cait and we spent some time with the boys, Carrig is growing like a little flower and now Cael seems soooo much older!

Sunday after church we went to an auction in Williamsburg to scout for chairs to use at the Quarry....OMGoodness! I picked up 8 Longaberger baskets some with liners at a steal. As if I needed more baskets :)

I am working on a basket for Kristyl to raffle off at Octoberfest for their school. Maybe a basket is just what I needed!

Have a wonderful blessed day!

Hebrews 12:15 asks us to, “See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.”

I know, I know...easier said than done....but with God all things are possible :)

In God we trust :)
