I'm not sure what I'm even gonna write about this time around! I have been told that I need to update again! I have a faithful friend who faithfully reminds me when I'm slacking off! You know who you are girl! ARGH!:) Love you anyway!
Sunday night was a good night. Well, let me start with the morning! In the morning I went to a friend's church. She told me it's the penecostal/holy roller type of church where people get slain in the spirit and speak in tongues. Now I don't have a problem with being somewhat charismatic, with moderation. I tend to be charismatic and emotional myself! I don't have a problem with the speaking in tongues type of people either because that is biblical as long as there is an interpreter. But when it comes to "slain in the spirit" well, ummmm, let's just say it makes me uncomfortable. I cannot speak against it directly because I don't know what spirit is making them fall over but it surely gives me the heebie jeebies just thinking about it. I was brought up to use moderation and be in control of your body, one of the fruits of the Spirit is self control. So anyway, I shall not speak against it because I cannot judge but I surely don't welcome it to happen around me! So I went to that church and it was okay. I liked the worship and the preaching. No one fell over so it was alright!
In the afternoon I went to visit some friends and then in the evening I went on a hayride. Was a nicely crisp evening for that.
Tomorrow I am having a teaparty for an 8 year old girl. She loves pretty things so this will be fun for both of us. On Thursday I'm taking supper to my cousin in Myerstown. So my week is really cut out for me.
Well, it's time for work. I'd have more to write but I need to go to work. God bless til next time.

On Some ordinary day......
Like today the Lord will come! I had to think of that song and also the song "What a beautiful day for my Lord to come again" these last couple of days. As I drive to and from work and I see the AWESOME clouds, I just think of how it would feel to start floating up. I can just imagine those puffy white cotton candy clouds being pushed aside as my Lord splits open the sky and beams His church up to meet Him! I SURE CAN'T WAIT!! I always get teary when I think of that. With all my heart I am ready and anticipating His coming! Maranatha! There's also a song called "This may be the Cloud He's coming back in". I love that one too! You know, when I was little and we had those Arthur Maxwell Bible stories and in the 10th book there is a picture of people rising up out of their graves, that made a huge statement to me, a huge impression! I am a very visual person, with visual memory. I have not seen that picture for years but I can see it clear as day! Also, there is a picture in there of a person looking out of the window, watching for the Lord to come. That picture put some worries into my little head back then though. I was worried that what if I am sleeping when the Lord comes back? The Bible says to watch at all times! I can't watch when I'm sleeping! Oh, the innocently pure worries of a child. How little my worries were back then! How big my worries are now! I must perpetually remind myself that God will take care of His people. I have nothing to fear and what I do fear is stuff I'm bringing on myself!
Sunday was my birthday. I cannot believe that I am 28 already. Seems unreal. I feel like I am still 19/21. It's the feeling that counts, not the fact, right! At least in this situation. I had a co-worker, namely Lisa King, who was mean enough to tell me that I am OLD and that I need to start taking into consideration that it's about time for me to use a cane! She's so mean to me, but I love her anyway!:) I had a good birthday. It was pretty relaxing. I was at church in the morning. We had a very good sermon on slothfulness for Sunday school and the main sermon was on.......oh, goodness it was very good and spoke to me but do you think I can remember what it was on right now??? ARGH! It's not may age either!!!!!!! I just had a brain fart, that's all! I will think of it as soon as I close my blog, I'm sure. Anyway, then we had a fellowship dinner at church. Very nice! And then I went home and was going to sleep but I gabbed with my brother for an hour and a half and I did a few small things and maybe dozed off a little but not worth talking about. Then I went to Todd and Merci Brill for supper and the evening. They were so sweet to me and sang happy birthday and gave me nice gifts and the supper was good. Todd gave me a book that I had wanted very badly. I'd seen it somewhere and was carrying it around to buy and suddenly I put it back. I was low on money and just couldn't condone buying it at the time. And now I have it. Wasn't that a hug from God???!! I'm telling you, my Abba looks out for His kids!:) Merci gave me some hair stuff. She is helping me take care of my hair so that my hair can actually be my crowning glory like the Bible says, for my husband some day! So she gave me some good quality stuff to use on my hair. So I had a lovely birthday.
Oh, and Mom made my day, she mowed the lawn for me. I have really grown to despise mowing the lawn. So that was a wonderful gift that she did it for me. We do not have a bagger and Mom brought her mower and bagged it. So now our lawn looks very attractive! My mom's a sweetheart!
And, my dear friend Doris surprised me Saturday and she really made my day! She came to King's and dropped off a birthday cake and a gift. She made me feel loved!
Saturday night I was scrapbooking with about 6 other girls. They weren't all scrapbooking but we had a socializing party and each one was doing something. Some had needlework. So our mouths went as fast as our hands!:) We also went out for supper to Squireside Cafe. I had never eaten there before but it was good.
Thursday before we went singing, Rhonda and Steve had me over for supper. Each of the children gave me something too. It was all very special. I have such wonderful friends and family. I must remember to make others feel this special on their birthdays too! You know, like that country song "Circle of Love". Keep it going!
So now I'm already thinking of Valentine's Day. I love hearts and girly things and I'm not going to pretend that it won't hurt this year when my best friend Sharon has a sweetheart to share Valentine's Day with. I'm determined that instead of feeling sorry for myself, I will take it upon myself to make others feel loved, others who are single too. We can have a loving party for us single girls and lost love up on eachother!!!!! How bout it????!!!! We could even exchange Valentine's gifts! I always wondered how it would feel to get a cuddly soft doggie or teddy bear that says I LOVE YOU! Maybe the other girls feel the same way! I could have a fancy party at my house with dessert and send out lovely invitations and we could each bring a gift and play "Now you have it now you don't" with all Valentine stuff....Hmmmm, the ideas are really whirling in my head now!!!! Hey, Doris, remind me in Jan. lest I forget! I would have you and Bethany and Sharon and a few others of my single friends.
Well, it's past bedtime, I got a little carried away there, didn't I? Seems to be a habit here of late.........or....wait, maybe it has been a lifetime habit.........!!!
