About my Story

Well I've finally have the finished copy ready for everyone to get. Here's a little bit about it. I know I had fun writting it and feel you'll have just as much fun reading it. Just remember, it's aimed towards children.

There once was a princess whose fondest wish was to swim in the sea, but she wasn't even allowed to go near any large body of water. Her father refused to let her until after she had turned 13, which in only a week away.

Unknown to her father, an old woman is trying to talk the princes into going against her father's wishes.

Who will she listen to? Why does her father refuse to let her go near the sea until she turns 13? Come join us and see.

If you're interested in buying a copy, the price is $4.95 and since it's going to be email, there is no shipping. you can email me and I'll send you an invoice. Just go to my contact page and write The Princess and the Sea in the subject line.

I hope you have a blessed day.

Church Burnings in Alabama

I know you've heard all about it in the news lately. We've had 10 different churches burnt here in the past few weeks and as a fellow Alabamaian and Christian, I felt I had to do something to help. I've gotten with my local news channel and asked them to send me the information to send donations to them. As soon as I have this information, I will be sure to pass it on to you. I've also added a page that will have that information. You will find it here: Church Burnings in Alabama and How to Help. If you want to send a donation to these people, I've listed 3 different ways that you can.

God Bless. I hope you have a great day.

I've mentioned this before, but here it goes again.

I've completed my first children's book, which I plan to sell on my site as soon as I can get some drawings done for it. And as I've told you before, I can't draw a straight line even with a ruler, so you know I won't be doing the drawings. I'm in the process of talking to a friend of mine about it.

It's about a girl who is turning 13 and she's faced with a difficult decision. I'll tell you more about in my next post. It will be an ebook so you can only get it online. I'll keep you informed on what's going on with it, so keep checking back.

I hope you have a blessed day. God be with you.

Would I have done differently?

I don't know if you ever watch CSI or not, but it's one of my favorite shows. Anyway, a few weeks ago they showed a young girl that had hair all over and how her mom left, letting the girl think she had died, because she couldn't handle it. It wasn't the girl she and her condition that she couldn't handle so much as the way people treated her. It caused the girl to stay inside all the time and let mom handle everything.

Now the first thing I thought when I saw that was, "How can a mother do that to her child?" (You've probably done the same thing.) But after I had thought about it for a while, I wondered, would I have done the same thing or would I have stuck by my child? It's easy to say what I would have done, considering I'm not in that position. It amazes me how I look at things right off the bat instead of thinking things through and trying to put myself in that person shoes. I try to tell myself that I'm not judgemental, but after this little episode, I wonder. I didn't like what I learned about myself that night. I found out that I do judge people and situations.

I realize that I might not be painting a good picture of myself, but I wanted to let you know about this anyway. It's made me take a hard look at myself.

I hope you have a blessed day. God be with you always.

New Service - Optimize Sites

I have started working for a company that will optimize your site at very reasonable prices. In just one week, he's increased my links tremendously. As of this morning the number of back links in Yahoo to your christian events site has increased from 59 to 66 and the number in MSN has increased from 19 to 90. As I just stated, this is in just one week. If you would like the same kind of results, please feel free to email me.

Has God spoke to you today?

How can people say that there is no God, when he speaks to us every day? I'm not talking about words our ears can understand. I'm talking about how the birds sound first thing in the morning, or the sound of our children playing and having fun. That is how God speaks to me sometimes. I was sitting in the living room this morning enjoying the quiet of the house when I heard some geese. It was so beautiful, so calming. It was my daily reminder that God is alive and watching over me. It was my reminder that I should be thankful for this day He gave me. He never promised me tomorrow, I've heard that saying all my life, and I believe it. We all make plans for the future, I do that also. Why can't we live for today and still make plans for tomorrow as well? Our life on this earth is too short to waste thinking and worrying about things we can't control.

I worry about my children and the way this world is heading. What will they have to face as they grow older? Am I teaching them the things they need to know to live right? Am I giving them values that will last all their lives? These are the things I worry about most. Then I realize that all I can do is my best for them and pray it's enough. I try to show them God's love for them. I try to show them how much they are loved by me and my husband. I correct them when they do wrong and praise them when they do right. I try to teach them responsiblity. I try to teach them manners. That's about all I can do, that and pray for God to watch over them. I can't live their lives for them or make their decisions for them. They have to make their own mistakes and live with the consequences, even though everything in me wants to help and make it better.

I didn't mean to get so whatever I was today. Sometimes I get like this. I get to thinking about what all God has done for me and I have to let everyone know how thankful I am. Today is one of those days. I'm thankful for the fact that there is a God that is there watching over me and my family. I'm thankful for the children he's given me to teach and watch grow. I'm thankful for so many things that if I tried to write each one down in a list, it would fill more pages than the entire internet would have room for.

I pray that God blesses you and your family and sincerely hope you have a great day!

Need Your Prayers

I just found out that a cousin of my husband lost their baby today. The child was born 3 months early and had real bad health problems. The funeral is tomorrow morning and I ask that you please remember this family in your prayers. I can't imagine what it would feel like to loose a child, but I do know that all prayers are welcome.

I'm sorry it's not a longer post today, but I'm sure you understand.

Thank you for coming and reading this. I hope you have a blessed day.
