Quote of the day..
"Mommy, don't cut Veggie Tales!" said Thomas when he saw me chopping up some cukes.
Dogs
We can't catch a break when it comes to dogs. Last night Garrett startled Jasper and he bit him on the neck. To be fair to Jasper, he was sleeping. However, we just can't risk that happening again, especially with Anna. So back he went to our niece. He seemed to be a great dog and I know all dogs can bite but...we are just going to take a break from dogs for a bit.
It is a gorgeous summer day...I bought some of my favorite flowers from Lowes....zinnias. They have amazing ones of all colors. I would love to buy a whole bunch and fill up my flower beds.
Tomorrow, Jesse and I celebrate 19 years of marriage. We were reminiscing about our wedding rehearsal dinner at the Czech Point Cafe in Big Sandy, Texas. It was a tiny little place in a tiny little town, but we both remember that it was good. We have had a wonderful life together. God has blessed us in so many ways.

Today...
Jesse and the older kids are off to help a family get their house ready for painting. They are going to scrape, trim, etc. today. Katie and Garrett have their last swimming lesson today.
We got a new dog over the weekend. He is an Australian shepherd cross..named Jasper. 8 months old with one blue eye, one brown eye. He is very friendly but still a puppy at 8 months. Our niece gave him to us...he didn't get along with her older dog.

Children's Book Reviews...
God's Outlaw..The Real Story of William Tyndale and the English Bible
written by Voice of the Martyrs with A. Paquette
God's Outlaw is an excellent picture book for ages 4-10, although it would be profitable and enjoyable for all ages. It tells the story of William Tyndale, the scholar who translated the Bible into English, so it could be read by the common people. It is inspiring to read about Tyndale's great faith and determination against all odds. He obeys God rather than men and is pursued relentlessly by his enemies. Tyndale was certain that reading God's word for themselves would change people's lives and it did! The book mentions (at the end) all the people in the world who still are not allowed to have Bibles in their own languages. It exhorts us to pray for these Christians. It also gives a scripture, questions for study and a prayer at the end. Voice of the Martyrs Book Store
The Hedge of Thorns
Rewritten by Mark Hamby
The Hedge of Thorns is one of Lamplighter Publishing's Rare Collector Series. It was first published in England in the 18th century and it supposed to be a true story. It tells the story of a young man raised by Godly parents who encounters various obstacles on his Christian walk. It is full of Godly counsel, scriptures and help for Christian living as well as an excellent story. The Hedge of Thorns refers to a real hedge, but alludes to a spiritual hedge that the Lord uses to keep His people on the right path. I have enjoyed several of the Lamplighter Press stories and love reading them aloud to the children. This is a small book with an old fashioned binding and pictures. Lamplighter Publishing

Great post...
Here is a great blog post about Faith and prosperity....so many have bought in to this lie. When Jesse and I were losing our business we had a well meaning relative tell us we needed to tithe and give to God so we wouldn't go bankrupt. Huh??!!
