Lily Making Her Mark On The Family

With much regret I come to you without a picture. For some crazy reason I didnt think about taking one at three in the morning. It was really rather funny never mind it was more like hilarious. Steve will find me and torture me after writing this. Well here goes, I turned over in my bed around three ,and saw Lily get up and start stretching(she sleeps between Steve and I) all of sudden she starts walking toward Steve and proceeds to walk onto his pillow were she sits on his head and goes pee....... I never saw anything so funny Steve jumps up so fast and pee is dripping off his nose and yes in his mouth. He is now rather furious and says some not nice things about our poor little Lily. Well it doesnt exactly end there she looks right at him and backs to his pillow and yes she does the other thing if you know what Im mean ,Steve looks at me and laughs but for some reason its not the real kind of funny laugh its more like the deep hearted kind of angry laugh .I looked at him and said it looks like you are going to have a love hate relationship like Pastor and Bentley and he says nope there is no love. ; )

Lily had her first bath. She was so cute she kept trying to attack the water coming out of the faucet. : )

Isnt she just adorable? She is an american staffordshire terrier.

This our new edition to our family Lilly.

Doesnt she look just like me?

I just wanted to take a few minutes to wish my mother a Happy Birthday. Mom I want you know I love you and thank God for giving me such a selfless mom. God tells us to honour are parents and I would like to that. Thanks for always putting us first and for working our way through a christian school,you put your whole life into us kids and we thank you and love you for that.Not many parents would take care of there child full time and make sure his needs were met before there own,I watched you mom do that day in and day out with Angel.Even though we dont always express it we see and know that you by far are the greatest mom. I love you and am thinking about you even though Im not there. Thank God for another year of life and have a wonderful birthday!

Gods Simple Plan of Salvation

• 1.) Realize your a sinner. (Romans3:23) For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." 2.) Realize as a sinner you owe a sin debt. (Romans 6:23) For the wages of sin is death..." 3.) Realize that Jesus Christ has already paid our sin debt. (John 3:16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." 4.) You must accept and believe by faith what Jesus did for you. (Romans 10:9-10) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Who could ask for more? We have God in our lives and a

wonderful family that we wouldn't trade for the world.
