91% Dixie

I'm often asked where I'm from because of my (some say) strong southern accent. I really don't notice it, but everyone else seems to. That's why when my friend sent this to me I thought - "I'm going to do this and I'll have proof that I don't talk funny!". Until I took it and my score was 91% Dixie and it asked me if General Lee was my father! Hummmm.....Take it and see what you get!

Baton Rouge Dream Center

Last night was so much fun! I usually do not post with out pics, but there were so many other cameras around and the battery died on mine. Maybe you can check JP's blog or Carole's or the Serve Team. They may post about it. But we had our first Family Night at the Baton Rouge Dream Center. It was awesome. I think everyone had a great time and I know my family and I did. Big shout-out to my girl Heather for hooking me up with some solid prayer before and being right there on the front row praising God along with us. You are awesome.
Next service is in March and I'll try to have my own pics then!

CJ and I talk about God

While riding in the car the other day CJ and I had the following conversation.....
CJ: Mom, you can ask me whatever you want about God. I know everything about Him.
Me: OK. What kind of ice cream does God like?
CJ: He doesn't eat ice cream.
Me: Why not?
CJ: Because he's God! It just wouldn't look right.
Me: Ok, so what does God drive?
CJ: He doesn't! He has someone drive for Him.
Me: What is his favorite food?
CJ: Veggies. He loves all animals so he's a vegetarian.
Me: Does God go to church?
CJ: Um, God IS church!
Me: But he doesn't attend church on Sunday?
CJ: Well, sometimes, but only when he's invited.
(there's a revelation!!)
Me: What does God look like?
CJ: Like Mr. JP (Brumfield) except God doesn't work out as much as Mr. JP.
Me: Why doesn't God work out?
CJ: He doesn't need to. He has the Holy Spirit to fight his battles!
The things we learn from our children!

Great Weekend....

On Sunday, I attended church and picked up Carly from her AMAZING weekend at Amplified. She can't stop talking about it and probably blogged about it. While Carly and I were running all over town, Mike was with CJ at Deadwood. Quite an amazing time for them. You see, one of our Deadwood Marshals is actually a US Marshal! He's amazing and his wife is so awesome. He invited CJ back to shoot on Sunday and brought with him a certificate and a real badge and had CJ sworn in as a Jr. US Marshal. CJ took his oath very seriously and came home with his certificate ready for it to be framed. He wore his badge all day with extreme pride and is so excited to think that one day, he may get to meet the President of the United States in the "nobel office". Thanks, Big Daddy Jenks! You rock!

Different ways to shoot......

Today was a blast. I took my friend, the Queen, through a few "firsts". First, we dressed up like cowgirls. Then we put in ear plugs (I showed her how) safety glasses and boots. Then we went stomping through the mud without a care to play cowboys and indians. And in a good way. Our gun club was having a competition shoot and I invited my friend who is the best photographer in the world. I think she had fun and I know she took a bunch of pictures or at least she acted like she was taking pictures. Click on her blog to view them......I think she'll post some. (Queen King)

Here's a couple I took with my go-go gadget camera. The first is of Queen getting a history lesson on guns. The next is my shadow. Not sure why, just thought it was fun......

Fun with Friends

Friday evening, I took Carly to the church for Amplified. She's excited to go and I'm just glad she is able. Just as we drove up, we were met by a great friend of mine and Carly's Steel Magnolia, RaeJean. She's awesome so I took a pic......Then I ran into my police officer friend at church. He parks me on Sundays......he's awesome, too, so I took a pic.....

Then I saw my friend Melissa. She had just had blood drawn at the doctors office so I took a pic.....
My best friend Becky was there but left because there were 5,000 teenagers there. And my best friend Paula was there, but she left for just about the same reason......don't blame them. It was a little chaotic.....holy, but chaotic.

Poet's Cafe'

Today, Carly was asked by one of her teachers, to present a poem that she wrote, at the school's "Poet Cafe'". She actually recited 2! One she did with her friends Katlyn and Deva. It was a tribute to Deva's Dad. He wrote the poem and being that he is from Cuba, it was in Spanish. The girls are amazing. They did such an awesome job. Then Carly recited a poem she wrote about the freedom of speech. I'm so proud of her! She never ceases to amaze me. I love Carly.
