I mean--it's not like I'm smoking and drinking, you know!! <BR/>Hope Izzy has a great time with Bear today--and a very Happy Anniversary to you and Matt. Mine and B's is in 2 weeks.

Chance left today on his trip and he called me tonight! I told him I that I miss him already and he said, ". . . and I"ll be gone a lot longer!" He's such a sweetheart! When he called they were in Mississippi and said the river was really high! I asked him if it was scarey, but of course not to him. I'm ready to change your next shipment of the JP if you decide that's what you want to do. It would probably save you a lot of trouble with your blenders:)<BR/>annbannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02517623625650477292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678547408144481769.post-58699127947803039722007-06-15T21:01:00.000-06:002007-06-15T21:01:00.000-06:00Happy Anniversary.I got a question on my blog for ...Happy Anniversary.<BR/><BR/>I got a question on my blog for you about your Lemon Chicken Recipe.

It always bothers me to think about, "How much is this call costing me," when someone is obviously excited to be sharing some news or experiences with me. If only money really did grow on trees!<BR/><BR/>And, let's see...I'm glad the kids all got along better today than they did yesterday. I'm glad I got some writing done today.

Lots of good, love and happiness. <BR/>Second, I think many Christians are being taught to be miserable because this is a place of exile and we ought to be longing for Paradise etc. I may be wrong from a theologist's point of view, but this is not a way to lead your life. At least I wouldn't teach my children that. So yes, I am all for a conscious state of godly Joy.<BR/>And Annie, although I haven't read the article you suggested yet,do give up coke. First it is bad for you. C drinks it and it such a bad example for the kids, especially little J who wants to do as daddy does. <BR/>Plus, if coke is the one food/drink you cannot live without, this is the one you should be giving up as part of your devotional dieting. I eliminate sweets when fasting. (Although I go back to them afterwards, eventhough I know sugar makes me moody...).At least make the effort and see how it goes.<BR/>It's all a matter of doing it one step at a time. <BR/>Best Wishes.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03860313079227199741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678547408144481769.post-76709938775825936882007-06-15T17:18:00.000-06:002007-06-15T17:18:00.000-06:00Happy Anniversary!It's raining here in Yukon again...Happy Anniversary!<BR/><BR/>It's raining here in Yukon again:(Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18298597446369187227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678547408144481769.post-43860803213132632007-06-15T15:25:00.000-06:002007-06-15T15:25:00.000-06:00I hope you will liven up for an Anniversary celebr...I hope you will liven up for an Anniversary celebration!

Paul tells us in "whatever state" to be joyful. He was.....even in prison. There is a bit difference between happiness and joyfulness. I think too many people get mixed up on that.<BR/><BR/>Hope you feel up to going out tonight and have a grand, joyful time :o) <BR/>((hugs))<BR/>SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11360047123820906113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678547408144481769.post-71076360073379349172007-06-15T14:25:00.000-06:002007-06-15T14:25:00.000-06:00Oh my word (Barb's comment!).

Krissy used her cell phone to call me every single day and we talked and talked and talked. We never once thought about roaming charges. From Hawaii to Colorado! The cell phone bill was over $200.<BR/><BR/>I told Mandy and Aaron, don't call me. We can visit when you return from Maui.
