I put this up on facebook yesterday and thought that some of you here might enjoy it too.
Have you heard about sin and yet you have never understood what sin is? What is the Biblical definition of sin and lawlessness? What does it mean to abide and remain in the L-rd? What does it mean to be a witness for God? All of these things are defined in this awesome teaching by David Taylor.
If we do not understand what being a witness is and how sin is defined in 1 John, then you will not know how to be a living sacrifice.
If you would rather download it and listen at your convenience go here and click on the download button under the player, it's easy.
I would be interested in hearing any thoughts on what you think about the teaching... -
What He said
Matthew 5:17
"Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets;
I did not come to abolish them but to fulfill them."
Let's stop and think a minute...
abolish-
1 : to end the observance or effect of : annul <abolish a law> <abolish slavery>
2 : destroy
And Jesus/Yeshua said he did NOT come to abolish.
fulfill-
1 archaic : to make full : fill <her subtle, warm, and golden breath…fulfills him with beatitude — Alfred Tennyson>
2 a : to put into effect : execute b : to meet the requirements of (a business order) c : to bring to an end d : to measure up to : satisfy
3 a : to convert into reality b : to develop the full potentialities of
Pick and choose carefully which definition you use. Jesus obviously wasn't using a synonym for abolish when he said fulfill. If we continue on through Chapter 5 in Matthew it seems that 3b would be an appropriate choice.
Matthew 5:18
"For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished."
Some like to say that after Yeshua died that it was all completely fulfilled.
Quick break: Go take a look outside and report back with your observations *we'll wait*
First let me guess... umm was it possibly the heavens and earth?
So we can safely rule out that ALL has NOT been accomplished.
Matthew 5:19
"Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven;"
Now let's back up a minute, did you know that this passage of scripture we're going over here was taught right after the Beatitudes?
Are the Beatitudes still in affect?
Yeah.
And what about the rest of what Jesus says after Matthew 5:21 to the end of Matthew- is all of that still in affect today?
Yeah.
So why would we think these verses, in particular this one (vs 19), are not affect for you and me today?
That doesn't make any sense.
I'll take the explanation of Jesus over the explanation of a man!
Let's get back to the verse at hand: whoever annuls one of the LEAST of these commandments... what commandments? If we stay in context with the passage then we know it is the commandments from the Law and the Prophets... and TEACHES others to do the SAME... they are going to be called LEAST in the kingdom.
These are the words of Jesus. It's not my judgment on you or anyone else, it's His.
Matthew 5:19 (the rest of it)
"but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
Did you get that? KEEPS and TEACHES them... keeps and teaches what? The Law. These are the words of Jesus.
Matthew 5:20
"For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven."
The scribes and Pharisees where the most knowledgeable people when it came to the Torah. We need to be studying the instructions on righteousness that was left for us in the Law and Prophets. Why? Because we are to keep them and teach them... well that is if you don't want to be least in the kingdom of God.
What do you think about the words of Jesus/Yeshua?
Do they carry the same weight as Paul's words in Galatians?
Do Yeshua's words mean less or more than Paul's words?
Do you think that Paul would contradict the words of his Master?
Always remember that keeping God's laws does not mean that you are justified by it. No one is justified by giving money to the poor, showing up regularly to church meetings or whatever else maybe valued in the denomination of your preference as a good work. But that doesn't mean that we aren't called to do good deeds! I agree with Paul. I actually have NO problem reconciling this passage of Matthew with Galatians in it's entirety. We should study and keep God's laws because of our faith in Him not because we think it makes us better than others or that it is a system of merit to make you righteous without faith. God's laws and His words through the Prophets show us how to be obedient, how to love Him more than anything and love our neighbor as our self.
Faith in God is our salvation and there is no righteousness without it. Obedience to His commands is our faith in action.
The theme of the Law and Prophets is not salvation through works... which of them was accounted righteous because of his works? No one, they were all accounted righteous by their faith and their faith produced obedience to His words.
The theme is the same from Genesis to Revelation.
God doesn't change... people do.
2 Timothy 3:14-17
You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
They didn't have Bibles with a New Testament back then.... so what was the scripture being referred to in the above verse? -
What really happened in the Middle East
This video below is a visual history lesson for those of you who are truly interested in what is happening in the Middle East, particularly between Israel and her enemies
It's not about land. It's not about refugees. It's not even about a Palestinian state.
The Middle East War is about the destruction of Israel.
A video that some may not have the courage to watch...
This is why giving away land does not work. It's not what they really want. -
Tongues, are they for today?
I've been doing a lot of thinking and I have two questions.
Do you believe in Speaking in Tongues for today's believers? Do you speak in tongues? Why or why not? (ok so maybe I have more than 2 questions, shoot me LOL)

What are you?
I'm a Hebrew.
People try to tell me "You're just a Gentile and you ALWAYS will be!" And it's true that I wasn't physically born from an Israeli/Jewish mother or father. I think I have some Jewish ancestry but it's way back, 10 generations so a little hard to prove and even if I could what would that benefit me anyway? I don't get offended if you call me a Gentile, but I don't see myself like that any more.

Hanukkah, What is it?
John 9:5 "As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world." (NKJ)
Yeshua spoke these words during the feast of Dedication that is mentioned in John 10:22. This coming week will begin the Feast of Dedication, known in Israel and the Jewish world as "Hanukkah" in Hebrew. Hanukkah is not one of the Feasts of the Lord which are mentioned in Leviticus and Deuteronomy, however it is a significant time that has been remembered and celebrated since 165 B.C.E, even by Yeshua Himself. It is interesting to see what He teaches about during this time - He being the light of the world, and the miracle which He performed - opening the eyes of a man who was born blind, something that had not been heard of since the world begun (John 9:32). Hanukkah is also known by the name "feast of lights".
Here is a short retell of the Hanukkah story that happened over 2100 years ago. (taken from the Wikipeda): Around 200 BCE Jews lived as an autonomous people in the Land of Israel, also referred to as Judea, which at that time was controlled by the king of Syria. The Jewish people paid taxes to Syria and accepted its legal authority. They were free to follow their own faith, maintain their own jobs, and engage in trade. By 175 BCE Antiochus Epiphanes ascended to the Seleucid throne. At first little changed, but under his reign, the Temple in Jerusalem was looted, Jews were massacred, and the following of God's commandments was effectively outlawed. In 167 BCE Antiochus ordered an altar to Zeus erected in the Temple and in the ultimate desecration, a pig was slaughtered on the altar of the Temple.

I woke up to the sound of the tv... morning already?
I make my way to the bathroom to shower.
As I lean down to turn on the water AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!! cold water sprays on my back... someone, apparently me, left the shower lever up.
I quickly put the lever back down until the water warms up. Finally a nice relaxing shower. I think to myself "I hope HE doesn't show up." The same thought I've been having every day since his unexpected (and undesired) appearance last week.
Then I hear four little voices in unison declaring from the living room "Mom, Mr.So&Sos here!" ((that's Murphy's law for ya))
NO NO NO! This is bad timing! I'm in the shower for crying out loud.
I jump out of the shower grab a towel, and check to make sure the front door is locked... only to notice that the front living room window's mini blind is almost ALL THE WAY UP! I reach over the arm of the sofa and grab the mini blind strings to coax as fast as possible the cantankerous thing to lower. While doing so, I loose grip of my towel and mooned More Here...Old or New Covenant

Looking this info up for someone specifically, but you guys feel free to jump in.
I found a different verse for you that talks about the New Covenant
Hebrews 8:7-13
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for a second. 8 For finding fault with them, He says,
“BEHOLD, DAYS ARE COMING, SAYS THE LORD,
WHEN I WILL EFFECT A NEW COVENANT
WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH;
9 NOT LIKE THE COVENANT WHICH I MADE WITH THEIR FATHERS
ON THE DAY WHEN I TOOK THEM BY THE HAND
TO LEAD THEM OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT;
FOR THEY DID NOT CONTINUE IN MY COVENANT,
AND I DID NOT CARE FOR THEM, SAYS THE LORD.
10 “FOR THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL
AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD:
I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR MINDS,
AND I WILL WRITE THEM ON THEIR HEARTS.
AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD,
AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.
11 “AND THEY SHALL NOT TEACH EVERYONE HIS FELLOW CITIZEN,
AND EVERYONE HIS BROTHER, SAYING, ‘KNOW THE LORD,’
FOR ALL WILL KNOW ME,
FROM THE LEAST TO THE GREATEST OF THEM.
12 “FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR INIQUITIES,
AND I WILL REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE.”
13 When He said, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear.

OK, I have a confession...
**cue the flashback effect**
Late one night a few months ago Jason and I accidently left Little David in the van for probably 30 min after we got home (never fear it wasn't hot so late at night). It was a simple case of Jason thought I brought David in and I thought Jason brought David in. And as i was getting my pj's on and tucking the kids in I noticed that Jason hadn't put David in his bed yet and I thought he must be still asleep on our bed (this is our ritual at night to get David dressed for bed in our room, keeps him out of trouble LOL). So I headed back to our room to get him and NO DAVID. I looked at Jason and said "Honey, didn't you get David out?" and of course his answer was "No, I thought you did" and my answer was "OH CRAP!"
More Here...You say Pean'uh Budder I say PB
Today Lil David told me that he wanted a pean'uh budder (peanut butter) sandwich.
I said "PB, huh?"
He said " I DON'T want pee pee! I want pean'uh budder."
LOL
He brought me roses today too. The one behind my ear on my new profile pic is the one that he insisted that I wear and then he gave me kisses and a hug (can't have kisses w/o a hug btw, it just doesn't work like that). He's so funny and sweet.
There isn't another one like her
I was up late last night helping out at my parent's shop for the yearly county fair when my Aunt Debbie who works on the other side of the store (in their Bible Book Shop) told us this funny story about my brother's daughter (4 yr old) who is in her choir class at church.Great Aunt Debbie: "Addie, I need you to sing too"
Addie: "No."
Great Aunt Debbie: "Addie, do you want me to get your Mom and Dad?"
Addie: "Well, no."
G.A.D.: "Ok, then lets sing!
Oh, Christmas Tree. Oh, Christmas Tree...
Now you guys try it!"
Addie: "Christmas Tree Christmas Tree"
G.A.D.: "No Addie, it's Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree"
Addie: "NO! YOU'RE OLD!"
G.A.D.: LOL *shakes head*
I laughed SO HARD I thought I was going to pee in my pants up at the ice cream shop! That girl is so sassy... good thing she's also cute!We had a blast yesterday
This is what we did for Yom Teruah yesterday:
Kids all ready to go
And when we get to our destination it's like our van explodes and they're off to explore
and jump
notice he is mid air... check out that vertical!
My little Hobbit
The tire swing--those things make me sick these days
If you listen better than I was when filming this short video you can hear Eliyahu yelling "I'm getting sick!" He was on it too long. LOL Of course I was too busy with my camera to understand what he yelled and yelled back to him "wave!" Never fear Koldodi saves the day. LOL
Little David running around doing what he does best... entertaining me
Yitzy sliding... ok I thought he was going to do a trick (go down backwards or on his tummy?) but all hid did was slide down and turn around and look at me LOL But he needs his own lime light on my page so here it is! It's a big deal to get put up on Mama's page... You'd think they were on the news with all the excitement this sort of post generates around here
David doing his choo-choo impersenation... you can hear him going "chugga chugga"
How many years has it been since you went down a tunnel with a bunch of other kids? We have 3-4 people in our family(Koldodi, Yitzy, Eliyahu and sometimes Jewel) who like to "clog up the drain" so to speak, so David and I have to play the part of Liquid Draino!
Ever wonder what it would be like if your whole family was in one of those tubes?
In this one we have a very cranky David that was left behind, I tried to stop at the first curve and document this clogged tunnel before David and I obliterated it... but David was hesitant to join me and then Koldodi a mutant hairball dragged me down by my ankle as I clawed and clutched in vain at the slick walls! It was like Gandalf and the Balrog scene
we even had the little hobbit crying up at the top left behind
except this time Gandalf (me) was telling the Balrog (Koldodi)
YOU SHALL PASS!
on through this pipe and quit clogging it up
Well you know how Balrogs are - they never listen and always have sneaky plans.
But don't take my word for it... see for yourself
What will happen next to our valiant heroes, the FBP and her side kick Baby D? Ha! They escape of course and continue fighting clogged slides across Middle Earth. Mutant hairballs are NO match for this duo!
Ok so mutant hairballs have their victories too, big whoop!
and what would any action series be without the good guys, like Team Draino Fantabulous, and the bad guys, like Mutant hairballs Inc, joining forces at least for the time being?! Oh what are we fighting against? I don't know, you decide!
Here we are going down a different slide sans Mutant Hairball Inc.
Here is the photo of him taking on the slide by himself about 20 minutes earlier... just seconds before becoming emotionally scarred for months to come. LOL
Nature walk
Being eaten alive by vampires!
Finishing them off!
The kids, finishing off the kids not the vampires.
Yom Teruah
To all of you who are celebrating Yom Teruah:
Hag Sameach! (Have a happy Feast!)
Below is an article I picked up from here
(The gifs I'm decortating my post with are
from various sites that I picked up all over
the internet thanks to google)
Yom Teruah: Day Of The Shofar BlastEllen KavanaughYHVH spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘In the seventh month on the first of the month you shall have a rest, a reminder by blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. ‘You shall not do any laborious work, but you shall present an offering by fire to YHVH.’" Leviticus 23:23-25
Yom Teruah basically means a day of noise/blasts. Yom Teruah is known as the Feast of Trumpets in Christianity and is better known as Rosh Hashannah (the new year) in modern Judaism. But Yom Teruah isn't really the 'Jewish New Year,' in fact, it falls on the first day of Etanim, (also known traditionally as Tishri) which is the seventh month in YHVH's calendar. The real 'new year' is in Aviv (also known traditionally as Nisan) when Pesakh/Passover occurs.
Yom Teruah begins a ten-day period leading up to the holiest day of YHVH's calendar, Yom Kippur -- the "Day Of Atonement." These ten days are called the 'Days of Awe' in modern Judaism. In fact, modern Judaism also includes the preceding month of Elul also as a time to prepare for the upcoming Fall moedim (appointed times). The sounding of the shofar on Yom Teruah is a wake-up blast -- a reminder that the time is near for the Day of Atonement. It is time to teshuvah (repent, turn back to YHVH). Traditionally, these ten days are ones of heart searching and self examination -- the shofar warns us we need to examine our lives and make amends with all those we have wronged in the previous year, and to ask forgiveness for any vows we may have broken. So a main theme of the Fall Holy Days is repentance.
Hearing the shofar blow is a mitzvah (command).
Most Messianic congregations follow tradition when it comes to 'how' to blow the shofar. Traditionally, the Baal Tekiah (shofar blower) begins with one held blast called Tekiah; followed by three broken blasts called Shevarim; followed by nine even faster broken blasts called Teruah. The Tekiah, Shevarim, and Teruah each last the same length of time. These are repeated three times. Then the Baal Tekiah concludes by blowing and holding a final blast as long as he can (basically, until he runs out of breath). This final blast is called Tekiah Gedolah. I am not convinced that this arrangement of blows is important to fulfill the biblical command of blowing the shofar, but I see nothing wrong if tradition prevails in this instance. Scripturally, no such blast arrangement is mentioned, but as long as the shofar is blown and people hear it, I would consider the mitzvah satisfied. For those who will be unable to attend a congregation:
Shofar Wave
And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you. Numbers 29:1
We've discussed that Yom Teruah represents a warning cry for us to wake up and repent -- to prepare ourselves for YHVH. In non-Messianic traditional Judaism it is believed that YHVH records our names in the Book of Life during the Fall festivals. Hence, a common greeting you might hear before and during Yom Teruah is "May you be inscribed (in the book of life)." Another popular greeting is 'L'shana Tova' which is a wish for a good new year.
Traditional foods on Yom Teruah are 'sweet' - apples dipped in honey (and sweet dishes made with apples, honey, raisins, figs, sweetened carrots, and pomegranates, etc. are served). The traditional challah bread is made sweeter and shaped in a circle, symbolizing completeness and never-ending sweetness. The rabbinic idea of this 'sweetness' was to bring a sense of optimism to the festival, since the themes of repentance and atonement might have made this season a somber time of remorse alone. So this is why (if you were wondering) so many sites have apple and honeybee themes during Yom Teruah. Tradition! Tradition!
There is also an interesting rabbinic tradition of Tashlich, which is the act of casting bread crumbs into a moving body of water to symbolize the removal of our sins. This comes from Micah 7:19: "He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea." Tashlich means 'to cast.' Another tradition is to serve the head of a fish with a new year theme of "be the head, not the tail."
Other themes during Yom Teruah are those of rebirth and resurrection, especially noted in the Brit Chadasha (new testament).
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Matthew 24:31
"Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 1 Corinthians 15:51,52
Dispensationalists with interest in the 'Jewish roots of the faith' have begun equating Yom Teruah with their pre-tribulational-style rapture doctrine and many consider Yom Teruah the next festival to be 'fulfilled' by Yeshua in their prophetic calendar. It's beautiful imagery, but I cannot agree with this assumption. I would point out that the Spring festivals fulfilled by Yeshua occurred chronologically in 'real time' and that so far, I have yet to see a "Fall Holy Day Fulfillment" explanation that could place their fulfillments before the tribulation. To have the festivals fulfilled in 'real time' (i.e. rapture; followed ten literal days later by the "Day of Atonement;" then followed five literal days later with Sukkot (booths/tabernacles)) it is impossible to make them fall before the tribulation (or before the millennium, for that matter). In order to have a literal unfolding of Fall festivals in chronological 'real time,' then the only likely scenario would be for the Fall festivals to begin after the tribulation, especially since the millennium would seem to represent a literal Sukkot the best (Zechariah 14:18,19). Just food for thought.
Since there are many trumpets mentioned in Scripture, it is unwise to assume every mention of a trumpet necessarily refers to Yom Teruah, especially when making escatological predictions regarding the HolyDays, as we are also commanded to sound the trumpet on Yom Kippur (Lev 25:9) to signify the Jubilee year. We do know that when a trumpet blows (in Torah, Prophets, and Revelation) it's almost always a summons, a war-cry, an alert warning (to prepare for something), to hail an arrival, or a wake-up call if one has been slumbering (spiritually or physically). I hadn't intended on mentioning any eschatology references to the Fall Festivals, but felt I needed to mention this Dispensationalist theory since I know many people start looking for "Fall Holy Day Fulfillment" articles this time of year.
My videos of Tropical storm Ike
These are the videos I took during Tropical Storm Ike (I know I know, so behind... but hey cut me some slack I'm remodeling our new home m'kay?)
Sadly you can't see the big pine and oak in the left back corner that fell. I could go outside and take a pic for you but I don't feel like it today... maybe later. LOL But on the bright side you get to hear my country twang voice.
More of the same in this video and you also get to hear Koldodi's voice in this one.
In this one we aren't talking but you can hear Koldodi say "WOW!" when the wind picks up. LOL It was a bit more impressive in person. :o)
Update
@sarahsD - @EdwardHancockII - @illgrindmyownthankyou - We came through the storm fine!
A lot of people in the East Texas area had their power out for quite some time (and some may still) but we at our house (way out in the country) only lost power for maybe 4 hours in the middle of the night, Praise the LORD. Two big trees came down about 20 feet from our house, but they weren't from our property and they didn't fall on our property, they missed our goat pen by about 7 feet. All they hit were smaller trees, yay!
My hubby had already taken off yesterday (Monday) to work on our house we are remodeling (making liveable) but he ended up not having to use his vacation day because his work place, a college about 40 mi away, was closed due to the major power outage the city and surrounding areas were facing. He's back to work today, but they don't have internet yet.
Our family down in Houston all fared well too. The worst I've heard so far is that hubby's cousin's house had some damage. But all of our family is safe! There is CrAzY power outage there and some of them wont have their electricity back up for 2 to 3 weeks. My cousin who works in Baytown as a teacher for a boarding school, wont be reporting back to work for a MONTH! My other cousin who is pregnant with twins eventually came up to DFW area with her Mom to stay with her Inlaws, that made us all feel better to know she was out of there. She still had along LONG drive to get their because so many people were actually evacuating AFTER the storm left, that was sad since she didn't evacuate in the first place because of all the trouble they had with the last hurricane that came through... you guys remember all that on the news right? Cars running out of gas, a four hour trip taking 14 hours, etc. It was a bad, but I don't think it was THAT bad this time. Just very slow moving traffic.
Anyway... during all this my computer has decided that it's time to go on to wherever computers go when it's their time... oh yeah the dumpster. It's trying to make it long enough for Jason to get all of our info off of it, but it wont be long now. Hurry Koldodi! (not that you can see this since you don't have INTERNET at work LOL)
i may have some footage from the storm from my camera to upload later, may not be terribly interesting considering Koldodi wouldn't let me get off my back door steps. Overprotective husbands... sheesh! j/k
I cannot chance uploading my video right now with the computer in the state that it is in LOL
Now if you kind people will excuse me I have to mow the jungle yard.
Much Love,
FBPIf you don't hear from me (or Koldodi, Ed, Thomas and Bekah) for a few days it might be because we don't want to plug in our computers and get them fried from the storms that are coming our way or because we have no power to plug them into. We live around that 3rd storm icon and so (Lord willing) it wont be that bad, but I sure would appreciate your prayers for my cousin (and my Aunt and Cousin-in-Law who are staying with her) who couldn't leave due to her high risk pregnancy (she's having twins) and also my Sister-in-Law (and her hubby and our niece). They all live in Houston.
Oh and Koldodi informed me that his other Aunts from both sides stayed as well (3 of them).
Love in Yeshua Messiah
The FBP (and Koldodi from over my shoulder... as usual LOL)
Happy Birthday Eliyahu!
Today is our oldest son's birthday, he turned 8 at 2:50am this morning. *sigh*
If time starts turning any faster I'm going to need motion sickness pills!
I have to wait until Koldodi gets home from work to give Eli his present! <---that's Eli!
He's going to love it! I CAN'T WAIT... MUST GATHER TOGETHER SOME
sort of resemblance of SELF CONTROL!
***Shhhhhh, nobody tell MOM or anyone else, m'kay?***
BUT.... my cat that gave birth to 3 kittens last Passover, she just did it again! She gave birth to another 3 this past week!
I didn't even know she was pregnant! 
Much less about to pop. They are so cute! I'll upload pics later, I'm too much in a funk right now to do such a thing.
Their names are Mooki, Sushi and Kimchi. I was in a bad mood and those names made me laugh so that's
what they have to live with! HA!
((The reason I said don't tell Mom or anyone is because she and Granny will start into this whole line about
how we need to put an ad in the paper and get rid of them, how I need to get them all fixed, etc, etc. I agree with the " i need to get them fixed" I fully intended on getting the mamas fixed before they had anymore, but they were still nursing... oh well she has 6 or 8 weeks this time and then we make her an appointment. Anyway it upsets the kids when they go on and on about getting rid of the kittens. I don't need that right now. ))
House remodeling is going sssssllllllooooooooooooowwwwwww.
I've never seen so much rain during the middle of August, it's crazy, and it's really slowing us down too.
But I have to keep reminding myself, it's going to be ok there's a reason... don't worry, DO NOT PANIC.Life
You know life slows down for no one, especially not me.
The house has been moved to it's new place. I know I know, were are the pics?
My Dad has been working on replacing part of the floor in the front were there was some termite damage.
My Mom, sons, Koldodi and me worked on getting some old tile from ~*HELL*~ off the floor.
Koldodi pulled up a lot of the old carpet nail stuff around the edges and doorways of the rooms, thank the Lord there was no old nasty smelly carpet to remove.
Right now I'm tired but I need to get a move on...- I need to clean up around here and do some laundry (Mt. Washme is trying to take over my laundry room)
- declutter... lots of decluttering to do
- I'm not supper worried about packing since the house isn't livable yet and it's only 17 minutes away. The decluttering is the most essential thing to me right now.
EDIT: Look, up in the sky!
Is it a bird?
A plane?
No, it's my new ("old" but "new" to us) house!
They are already moving it. 
Well, they have it up on blocks and they are getting it ready to be moved
but I think getting it up in the air technically counts on it starting the moving process.
And now you know... the rest of the story.
**End Edit**
Staying calm... can be hard to do,
especially if you are excited and nervous ((at the same time)).
Aiiiiii!
Butterflies,
I feel butterflies in my tummy.
Millions of them,
a whirlwind of butterflies.
Haiku:
Staying calm is hard,
when butterflies are inside
flittering everywhere.
PS
Koldodi and I had our 12th wedding anniversary yesterday. :o)
I am blessed.
and please say a prayer for my sister's recovery... she had her tonsils and adnoids removed today.
Thank you
