Josiah...the Tiger Cub

We went and got Josiah's Tiger Cub shirt today! He was so excited to get to wear it to his first Pack Meeting tonight. I have to put his new patches on it...but it said to wash the shirt first and iron it good before putting any patches on. I sure don't want to mess them up! Yikes! He's so excited about all this Tiger Cub stuff...I'm glad we let him join.

The yard sale went well. It is by far the best I have ever done at a yard sale! I was very excited. I got rid of a lot of stuff but I still brought TONS of stuff home.

We went to the circus Saturday night. The boys' friend Benjamin invited them and gave them free tickets. They had a blast. It was only a one-ring circus but it was actually really good. I had my doubts when we drove up. It looked...kindof...Podunk to say the least. Anybody know why the computer wanted Podunk capitalized?? Just curious...

We had a calf born Friday and then another one was born Sunday afternoon. The boys thought that was wonderful, too. One is a heifer and one is a bull calf. Rosco doesn't hardly know what to think about the new babies! These calves are the mamas firsts...they seemed to do just fine. We have one more that should be coming in any day now...Shannon's out checking them now. Who knows?? We may have #3 already! I hav

e to tell this funny on the boys...Shannon took them over to his cousins' farm Saturday to look at their cows. He said he looked over and both the boys were squatted down looking under the cows. Elihu asked Josiah, "Where is the uddah?" Josiah said, "I don't see one." Elihu said, "I don't either." Then Josiah answered back (with all the genius of a 6 year old), "Well, I guess we should look for testicles then." I laughed my head off when he told me about it! They're starting to ask all kinds of lovely questions. We already covered the whole testicle thing months ago. I wonder what's next?

Well, I hope your week is off to a good start! Life is always busy...just try not to be too busy making a living that you forget to make a life!

My Testimony

I was 9 years old and terrified that I was going to Hell when I died. I kept asking my mama questions about it. She would always just reassure me that I'd know when it was my time to ask Jesus in my heart. I went to Bible Camp that summer for the first time. The Lord spoke to my heart that Monday night during the preaching service through a sermon by Butch Lee. I didn't go down. I was afraid what the other kids would say...especially being new at camp and not knowing everybody. On Tuesday, I worried ALL day long because I KNEW WITHOUT A DOUBT that if I died, I'd open my eyes in Hell. So back in the service on Tuesday night, I could hardly wait for the preacher to give the invitation. Sure I was still nervous, but I knew I needed him more than I needed to be nervous! I went down and got my counselor by the hand. My friend Libby followed. We knelt outside on the sidewalk and I repeated a prayer after my counselor. I don't really know that it would've mattered the words I said because God knew what was in my heart. I got saved that night and haven't been the same since! He put a wonderful peace in my heart that nothing else in the world can ever replace. I thank Him for that sweet moment of salvation and pray that I can be an example along the way for those I meet. You know, you're never too old or too young really to be saved. If you feel God speaking to your heart right now, just bow your head, close your eyes, and ask Him to come inside your heart and make you clean and pure and holy and be your Savior. It's that simple. Then YOU can have that wonderful peace that passes ALL understanding!
