Todd Agnew – Grace Like Rain

This is one of my favorite songs

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I’m found
Was blind but now I see so clearly

Hallelujah, grace like rain falls down on me
Hallelujah, all my stains are washed away, washed away

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

When we’ve been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We’ve no less days to sing Your praise
Than when we first begun

25 Important Tips for Striving in 2009

1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is
the ultimate anti-depressant.

salmon, broccoli , almonds & walnuts.

A Hard Freeze in The Desert???!!!

Blessings in Christ!

Yes,  we are prepping for a hard freeze out here in the desert tonight! 

7:30 p.m. and it was 38′ F

8:15 p.m. and it is 34′ F

I can’t wait to see how low we will go.  My guess is that we will get down about 24′F.  I will have to check the thermometer each time I get up tonight.  Granted, the thermometer is about a foot away from the front door and under the awning, but it tends to show a pretty true temperature. 

Blessings,
Mama

Ugh….had to lose some posts

I haven’t done a major backup of my blog in sometime and due to that, I lost the last couple of weeks of posts.  I do not know what happened, but I totally lost my sidebar.  I signed in this evening to post about some things, and poof!  It wasn’t there.  Being as I am using WordPress and it is free, there is no support center to call.  There is a users forum, but it was no help.  So, I worked on it, and it is back.  But I lost some posts.

I did a major back up as soon as I got it fixed though, so I should be good to go.  I need to remember to backup the blog once a week.

Blessings in Christ,

Mama

I sat here to say something…

But at this moment, I’ve got nothing.  My mind is blank and all I can think about is how annoying the kids are.  I guess I should hook up blogging from e-mail.
