A new song by Steven Curtis Chapman in tribute to our outgoing President.

Once again, the heart of our favorite singer/songwriter has expressed our appreciation to another who has also served.

Thanks, Steven! And thank you President Bush!

Also check out Steven and MaryBeth as they offer Thanksgiving wishes on Steven's Blog.


I'll be working over the holiday (and digesting a huge early meal!). Hope all three of my readers have a wonderful and grateful day!

Praying for Steven...

Praying for other things as well, of course, but...

Great news from the SCC newsletter:

Undefeated Tennessee Titans Invite Chapman to Sing Anthem

It's perhaps the toughest song on the planet to sing and when the stadium is full, the difficulty goes even higher. But when the hometown team calls, you gotta say yes! :-) On November 23rd, Steven will sing our national anthem for the Titans home game against the New York Jets. Steven will be relieved to know it will not be televised. :-)

Joke for ya!

Dwarf Accident

My day started out terribly. On my way to work, I rear-ended
the car in front of me. The driver got out, and he was a
DWARF! He looked up at me and said, "I am NOT happy!"

I said, "Well, then, which one ARE you?"

That's how the fight started...







Hope everyone is well today. I got a laugh from reading this joke this morning and thought I'd share it.

I am a little sad today and needed the pick me up. I was supposed to have gone to Nashville this weekend for the Shaohannah's Hope Fundraiser, but couldn't go (and the reasons for that are part of what is making me sad). And seeing some pictures on Jim Houser and Grace's blogs isn't helping. I really wanted to spend a few minutes with the Chapmans and offer them encouragement and love. I also really wanted to hear Chuck Colson speak. Oh well... guess it was not to happen this year.

Pray for me, y'all. I'm in a bit of a valley in my life and need to make some decisions.

May I present my grand daughter

Not the best picture, but let me tell you... she is fearfully and wonderfully made. A beautiful example of the Lord's handiwork.

Sick

I went to bed last night at 11:30 feeling nauseous and woke up this morning with my stomach sinking and a feeling of dread.

Praise God that He is in control. May He have mercy on our nation as we embark on a period of control by the most liberal Congress and President of all time.

Pray for our President elect, that he would seek wisdom and appoint a cabinet that can advise him with righteousness.
Pray for our Supreme Court Justices, that they may have good health and last until a more conservative panel can be elected to appoint Constitutional Justices to the bench.
Pray for the unborn, that they may have a chance to live.
Pray for those who employ most of us, that they will be allowed to keep enough money to continue to employ us.
Pray for our military, that they may be able to do their job with a smaller budget.
Pray for our country, that we may learn from our mistakes and stop spending money we don't have.

Pray...

As a small consolation... at least we have gotten two liberal Senators off the books. Hopefully their replacements will give more thought to what is best for our country.
