Just finished reading:
Waking The Dead by: John Eldredge
I have to say I am unsure when I have read a book full of so much wisdom. It was truly amazing, insightful and helped me understand why some things happen as they do. I found myself looking things up in my Bible, highlighting things I needed to reread and praying in new ways. It's just full of wisdom, wisdom, wisdom! I highly recommend this read. Enjoy! :)
***Page 218...It works like this: hyenas cannot bring down a lion in its prime. What they do is run it and taunt it and wear it down to the point of exhaustion. Once they see it cannot defend itself, then they close in. The strategy of our Enemy in the age we live in now is busyness or drivenness. Ask the people you know how things are going. Nine out of ten will answer something to the effect of "really busy." Every time I call another ministry I get voice mail. "They're busy right now, can I put you into voice mail?" The deadly scheme is this: keep them running. That way, they'll never take care of their hearts. We'll burn them out and take them out. I don't want to be taken out. Others are counting on me. I must care for my heart as my first line of defense....
Just an excellent book!
I caught a picture of Callie this morning. When winter comes and our front window fogs up after showers...she actually licks the window to make a spot to look out of. LOL :D She's so cute. To prevent this, I usually get to the window before she does, but not this particular morning. 
Alex came home from school with a tooth just hanging there. :) Here it is once we pulled it. She put it in the cutest little tooth holder to wait for her dollar from the tooth fairy. (Who shamefully overslept and handed her the money upon waking in the morning. Oh, Tooth Fairy...you aren't what you used to be! LOL) :D
Now, Dad...all I heard growing up was, "Money doesn't grow on trees you know!" Hummmm...and just how would you explain this find in our local mall???? :D Teehee.
Mom Conn turns 60 years old today!!! :D Last night, we all came together at our local Pizza Hut and had dinner. Yum, yum...a good time had by all. :) We love you Mom...Happy Birthday!
Our morning was chaotic to say the least, but fun. :) Both girls got out on time. (With me forgetting to get pics of Sam before school...and then after because she called me to pick her up...she was sick. So, I grabbed to pics of her at home...and felt so bad for her.) :( Running a fever of 101.8 and having a sore throat...we picked up Alex after she got out and went straight to the Doctor. She's doing much better today with the antibiotic already working. Thank God we got it quick. We all chatted in the doctor's office and they told me about their schools and teachers. They had a great time...even Sammie while being sick. I was so glad to hear that. 
Sam and Alex are in the same Sunday School class now. It's part of an on-line program called grapple.com. They were both so cute coming out to the living room to ask me questions about the Bible. I had to sneak in and see what they were up to when they got quiet. :p
