Girl's Night!
I wanted to let everyone know there is a Girl's Night planned for this Friday, August 8th. We are going to eat out and then see Momma Mia! There aren't any specifics yet, so just let Heather Stepp know if you can make it and then I think she is going to send out an email about what time to meet and where. Hope everyone can be there!

The bible, according to children!
In the beginning, which occurred near the start, there was nothing but God, darkness, and some gas. The Bible says, 'The Lord thy God is one,' but I think He must be a lot older than that. Anyway, God said, 'Give me a light!' and someone did. Then God made the world. He split the Adam and made Eve.
Adam and Eve were naked, but they weren't embarrassed because mirrors hadn't been invented yet. Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating one bad apple, so they were driven from the Garden of Eden. Not sure what they were driven in though, because they didn't have cars. ; Adam and Eve had a son, Cain, who hated his brother as long as he was Abel. Pretty soon all of the early people died off, except for Methuselah, who lived to be like a million or something. One of the next important people was Noah, who was a good guy, but one of his kids was kind of a ham. Noah built a large boat and put his family and some animals on it. He asked some other people to join him, but they said they would have to take a rain check.
After Noah came Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jacob was more famous than his brother, Esau, because Esau sold Jacob his birthmark in exchange for some pot roast. Jacob had a son named Joseph who wore a really loud sports coat.
Another important Bible guy is Moses, whose real name was Charlton Heston. Moses led the Israel Light s out of Egypt and away from the evil Pharaoh after God sent ten plagues on Pharaoh's people. These plagues included frogs, mice, lice, bowels, and no cable. God fed the Israel Lights every day with manicotti. Then He gave them His top ten commandments. These include don't lie, cheat, smoke, dance, or covet your neighbor's bottom (the Bible uses a bad word for bottom that I'm not supposed to say. But my Dad uses it sometimes when he talks about the President). Oh, yeah, I just thought of one more: Humor thy father and thy mother.
One of Moses' best helpers was Joshua, who was the first Bible guy to use spies. Joshua fought the battle of Geritol and the fence fell over on the town. After Joshua came David. He got to be king by killing a giant with a slingshot. He had a son named Solomon who had about 300 wives and 500 porcupines. My teacher says he was wise, but that doesn't sound very wise to me.
After Solomon there were a bunch of major league prophets. One of these was Jonah, who was swallowed by a big whale and then barfed up on the shore. There were also some minor league prophets, but I guess we don't have to worry about them.
After the Old Testament came the New Testament. Jesus is the star of the New Testament. He was born in Bethlehem in a barn. (I wish I had been born in a barn, too, because my mom is always saying to me, Close the door! Were you born in a barn?' It would be nice to say, 'As a matter of fact, I was.')
During His life, Jesus had many arguments with sinners like the Pharisees and the Republicans. Jesus also had twelve opossums. The worst one was Judas Asparagus. Judas was so evil that they named a terrible vegetable after him.
Jesus was a great man He healed many leopards and even preached to some Germans on the Mount. But the Republicans and all those guys put Jesus on trial before Pontius the Pilot. Pilot didn't stick up for Jesus. He just washed his hands instead.
Anyways, Jesus died for our sins, then came back to life again. He went up to Heaven, but will be back at the end of the Aluminum. His return is foretold in the book of Revolution.
There! Now you understand it.

Krista's shower
Is anyone going to be able to attend Krista's baby shower on June 14? I'm not going to be able to get out and about for it but I'd like to pitch in for a group gift with someone else who's going...

Thoughts from my travels in Rome, Italy
So, you probably though I'd write about Rome. Actually my thoughts all involve my daughter, Sarah, and leaving her behind:
Before we left Paul and I had to complete our will's. (Unfortuantely we hadn't done that since she was born) It scared me to death (no pun intended) to even think about what could possibly happen to us either traveling or even while in Rome. But it had to be done. The night before we left I was very weepy and not wanting to leave her - even though she was giong to be in great hands. I called home every day just to make sure she was ok - no matter what the cost. Upon our return last night, I cried and cried once I finally saw her and held her in my arms. (It brings tears to my eyes as I type this.) She hugged me and kissed me and wouldn't let me go. (The feeling was mutual.) I am writing all this to say two things:
Can you imagine what God feels when we leave Him, yet decide to return?
Most importantly, I can only hope that when I get to Heaven that God will hug me, kiss me, and hold me as I did with Sarah to show me His amazing and everlasting love.
I can truly say that I have felt the love that God feels for His children. I love my daughter more than anything else in this world (not sure how healthy that is; nevertheless, it's the case). I would do absolutely anything for her. That is how God's love is for me and you. Isn't that the most wonderful thing?
