Happy Valentine's Day!!

Happy Valentine's Day!! I would like to know how you celebrate Valentine's Day with your significant other or family! Leave me a comment, OK?

Joe and I went out to dinner at McCormick and Schmick's on Sunday night, since he works today. We each had some delicious salmon....MMMMMmmmm....

Today, my honey surprised me with a pedicure spa treatment gift card at Gene Juarez, along with a lovely letter on pink paper (I had to growl a little that he used my Stampin' Up paper, but oh well, it was pink and matched everything else) :) He also gave my favorite - dark chocolate. He even got me flowers and balloons! Isn't he so nice? Of course, he told me we weren't doing gifts for each other this year (I should have remembered after almost 17 years of marriage, that he really doesn't mean that)......I made him an awesome card and gave him some chocolates (doesn't quite compare to the gifts he gave me......)

I got each of my kids a little somethin'-somethin' to surprise them with when they come home from school today. The girls each got some fuzzy, slipper socks, lip gloss and candy, while Ben got a fuzzy poster to color and some candy......I also made them each really cool cards.

Here's a pic of the card I made Joe....





I used rub-on transfers for the letters, and I glued zebra paper to a chipboard letter. Then, I adhered snaps to the end of the card. Cool, huh?

Happy Valentine's Day!!!! Don't forget to leave me a comment about your celebrations!!

Baptists vs. Pentecostals? What's the Deal?

So, what's the deal between Baptists and Pentecostals/Charismatics? Why is it that these two groups allow the non-essentials (non-essentials to salvation, that is) to divide them? I grew up in a conservative, Baptist church. Certain "things" that Pentecostals did, were basically mocked and considered "evil/of the devil." Raising hands during worship? Forget it. Praying in tongues? ABsolutely NOT. As a kid, I remember watching African-American church services on TV, and being mesmerized by their enthusiasm in worshipping God. I wanted to worship like that - to fully express my emotion and love toward the Lord with other believers. After all, I LOVED Him! He was my closest Friend since I was about four years old. I WANTED to express my love to Him. Frankly, I found my church growing up to be very BORING. Grab a hymnal. Stand up. Sing a song. Sit down. Yawn.... When I turned 18, I was invited by Joe's mom, to attend a Foursquare church where I lived. Now, havin...

It's Thanksgiving again - yay

I have become less fond of Thanksgiving the last ten years. First of all, me, Joe and our kids usually end up doing it alone. No big event. No warm, large, extended family gathering. We used to have them. And, sadly, we had more when we lived states away from our extended family, because we would always be invited to share the holiday with friends or families from church. I have tried to invite people over (who might not have a place to go), and create a gathering, but that has never worked out. I have tried something out of the norm, and went to Old Country Buffet. Read last year's entry about Thanksgiving, and you'll see what a fiasco THAT was. This year, Joe's parents are still living in another state, my side of the family is somewhat estranged etc., and no one has invited us to join their extended family gathering. I thought about going and serving a meal at a homeless shelter or something. It's still a thought, but we'll probably just be alone again. We do, ho...
