One Nation Under God

As we celebrate Independence Day, I would like to encourage you (if you aren't already) to commit to praying for a widespread Christian revival in our country (and Europe)--especially among young people. I could be wrong, but it seems like the number of evangelical Christians drops significantly with each successive generation, and that grieves me.

I have been praying off and on for a nationwide revival in our country, but have not made any effort to pray consistently. I am truly sorry for that, because I believe that if all of the committed Christians banded together and began praying fervently for revival, God would definitely answer our prayers. Today as I was praying, I felt God gently rebuke me for that. I desperately want to see another "Great Awakening" in our country, and I know that the King of kings and Lord of lords is absolutely ready.

I feel the same way about Europe, especially France. I have no idea what the current spiritual conditions are in France, but when I was there in the 1991-1992 school year (although I wasn't a committed Christian yet) I sensed strongly that Europe is an continent that is (for the most part) extremely closed to the Good News of Jesus Christ--extremely dead spiritually. My heart grieves for them as well.

God bless America! ... AND Europe!

Missing You

We've been having internet problems since last Friday evening. It goes on and off sporadically. Someone should be coming today to fix it (and of course it's working perfectly right now, lol!). I don't usually blog in the middle of the day (too much house stuff to do) , but I gotta grab the internet while I can. I'm desperate! It has actually startled me to realize how connected I am to all of you--even you, Ronalyn, and I have never met you. I have so missed reading blogs, commenting on them, and posting. I have really felt disconnected to you all (yeah, I'm a "recovered hick" but I can't erase that expression from my vocabulary--however, I don't say, "y'all." I do draw the line there. Sorry if I'm offending anyone--as in my sister and brother-in-law, but I don't consider you guys hicks.) . So I hope the person who comes to repair the internet issue can perform a miracle so I don't have to miss you anymore :)

A Rare Moment Captured on Film

No, it's not a rare moment that my kids brush their teeth (well, it would be if left up to them!). I walked into the bathroom tonight to see both my kids in the bathroom brushing their teeth ... and this is the rare moment--they actually got along! I had to run and get my camera to document this rare moment of parental bliss. And now I'm sharing it with you. Now isn't your day more complete?!

Just another day ...

Today was a full day. The workers put in our patio door ... sooooooooo excited to have this door!!! The pictures look much less than impressive b/c I didn't take time to play around with them in Photoshop (CSI: Miami is on so I'm glued to the T.V, plus I have a huge load of laundry to fold still). I'm so thrilled to have this door that, good pic or not, I have to share. Like I said, we've never done anything like this before, so every little thing excites me beyond belief :-D They worked on it all day, having to break out a rather large section of the wall, take out a window and door, and move our electrical outlet and porch light. And as you can tell, they have to finish tomorrow. This is the view from the inside: This is the view from the outside: It was strange to have them in my house. But apparently, in deference to my "feminine ears," they decided to refrain from using their Spanish cuss words. That was nice :) Plus our washer is on the blink (has bee...
