It's been raining for two days now and the weather people are afraid of flooding. My house is on a bit of an incline and so I shouldn't have any probs. I don't have a basement either. A little crawl space, but not a basement. Why the builders just didn't go 4 more feet under and make me a basement; I don't know. Doesn't really bother me much unless I talk about it. But I just don't. So I'll stop
I've been learning some new material on how to better our internet business. I like it a lot. And I haven't even started the actual course lessons yet, just the pre-stuff.
If you're interested I'll pass on the info. I would leave it on here, but I like you all leaving commentary and asking questions. You know, great way to create dialogue. I like hearing from people. I'm, very much, a people person. But as some of you know if you've been following I am more of a children person. I really enjoy them a lot. My children are my ministry and any others that pass by my way.
My husband and I are very active in our church's children's ministry. (wow how doesn't that work two possesive nouns? not sure on that one) We are the co-leaders with Kid's Corner Jr. KCJ is what I've been calling it. The 5 yo through 1st grade. I love it. We do puppets and skits and build boats. Lots more. Lots of fun!!!! I spent two days a couple weeks ago trying to find fridge boxes or something similarly as large to build a boat. Jesus calmed the storm right there in our classroom. WONDERFUL! We had the sound effects and the lightning and even a blue rug for the water. The kids loved it. A lesson they still haven't forgotten. We still have the boat in the room and they act it out themselves.
I will be learning more about being a good blogger in the next few months. I know I'm all over the place in my writing, but well I'm a busy person, my mind is on a thousand and one things and I have a lot to say. So I guess I just like the cram it all in one place. I just started following some "famous bloggers". So I'll learn more. Hang out with me while I learn and see how good growth can be.
Blessings

Alien-at-cha!
Well in Sunday school I've been teaching the little kids about being an Alien! Being a christian in a world that is not our final destination. They're enjoying the idea of "aliens" they laughed today when the puppet, Nick wanted to be have the Alien Superpower and claimed he could fly or see through others. Of course, he failed. But I was thinking. How we all claim we have something to do with all these wonderful things in life, when we really don't.
Like the accolades given to the heroes these days really don't have much merit. We all "think" they do, but don't. Think about it. It would be better if we said about them, look how God used them in this situation. That's much better.
What's our highest calling as christians? Well, to worship and honor God. Worship is our lifestyle, not just what we do with music or in church. It's a lifestyle that praises God with every breath. There's a song, done by who first, I don't know, but Newsboys does it. It has a line in it that Newsboys changed, which I like, because it's more truthful to our lives, even though it should be the other way. But it's "in all I do to honor you" instead of "in all I do I honor you". Even when the words say "I honor you" I usually change it to be more truthful than emotionally charged, to "to honor you". Because can we say that all we do honors the Lord? Sadly, no!
We all have our moments (if we can even understate it that much) that we do not honor Jesus. We lie, curse (whether it be by bad language or just by what we say) steal, cheat. It's a lot more subtle than we all think. All we have to do is look at another person lustfully and we've cheated on our spouse, their spouse, their very being has been violated. We can steal some one's right to their own opinions by casting our own on them. We can curse others by being that person who gossips or just "casually" says something not so nice about another person. Lying to ourselves daily about how good of a person we are. And lying to others by acting like we could walk on water if we wanted to.
We need our superpowers to be what the Holy Spirit wants for us and guides us to do and our Superhero is Jesus. The one who really does have supernatural powers and did sacrifice himself for us and save us from our sins. We are aliens here. We can have superpowers, just it will have nothing to do with ourselves or what we want. And it never should be.
