BURN

I was able to attend a BURN event last night in Dallas. It is a ministry of people who love the Lord passionately and want to make room for Him to come. They want our cities and nations to be transformed by God. They offer 24/48/52 hour prayer and worship sessions all over the world. People praying and praising and calling for more of God. http://theburn247.com/dfw/updates/ and click on listen to Burn Radio...good worship music to listen to while you are working or in your quiet times. They are headquartered in Dallas and I am hoping to attend another event soon. Really encouraging to be around brothers and sisters in the Lord who want more of HIM. It excites me. It opens me up to new vision and hope in God. We can all use that. Check it out.

Need Something to Do?

Every once in awhile I end up with some free time on my hands and have found a couple of sites that I enjoy for different reasons. Try them out and see what you think...
For my brain and memory: http://www.freerice.com/index.php
where you can give rice to help feed the hungry while working on your vocabulary!
For my creative side: http://www.miniusa.com/#/build/paintShop-m
Go to the Mini Cooper web site and you can not only build your own car, but you can custom paint it any way that you desire.
To enjoy my daughter Katherine's designwork and creativity:

So I am off to work out my brain, feed the hungry and dream of driving the cutest mini cooper that designed for the day!

Fun at the Lake for the 4th!

We had a great time at the lake with the family! Lot's of good food, sitting on the deck and playing on the water. Aaron and Ilon went on a tube ride! Izzie skied pregnant! Meredith looked great on the knee board and of course we had a little bit of badminton competition. Dean and I both tried the tube, Dean with success, me, not so much. It was fun to just be out on the water.

Someone is always left holding the cat(s)

We are off to the lake for three nights! yippee! First time to stay multiple nights in our little lake house with our family. Looking forward to grilling out, floating on the lake, looking for turtles with the baby girl and drinking a cold beer on the deck after dark. We have heard that the fireworks will be beautiful all over the lake and looking forward to sitting out on the boat and watching the celebration. Thankful to those who are covering for us at LHC so that we can be away on Sunday and thankful to sweet Mere, who is getting to stuff the cats into a carrier on Friday and bring them down...meowing loudly all the way. Your the best Mere! (hope you make it unscratched) Also thankful for American holidays! So, readers...I exhort you all to go forth and relax, play and celebrate the 4th of July. Free at last, free at last...thank God almighty we can go off for a few days and be free at last with a paid holiday! We are so blessed.
