Discipline
I have a very strong opinion of Discipline. You see I have earned a lot of spankings in my day. Notice how I used the word ''earned''. My favorite book in the Bible is Hebrews. Well Hebrews has a whole Chapter on Discipline. Hebrews Chapter 12, well Hebrews 12:5-11 so for those who will not go look it up I will post it here.
5And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons: ''My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not loose heart when he rebukes you, 6because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and punishes those he accepts as son.'' 7Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his Father? 8If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes Discipline), than you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respect them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of the spirits and live! 10Our Fathers disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. 11No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
So what do you think? It's a big slap in the face for me. You see something happened to me not to long ago. I could not figure why it happened to me, then I found that I was getting angry with God for allowing this to happen. As I was reading my Bible these verse were high lighted so, I read over them. Then my heart hurt cause I know the Lord knows why the discipline, and correction. That is fine with me. So, if you ever fill that you don't need Discipline, I pray you will look at these verse and know all things happen for a reason.

Rain, Rain and more Rain!!!
HI,
When will the rain end? When I was drying Stephens hair, I tried to explain to Stephen that God had his own bowling team. And when ever it would thunder it was God and the Angels having a game. Stephen did not understand me but when we came up stairs Madison made the comet that it must be bowling season up there. I could not help but laugh, that must be the new joke at our house. The girls and I use to always joke about the bowling. Well maybe the season will end soon maybe. Well the rain is good for the grass and the earth. So I guess I should not complain.

Chores!!!
Hello,
Well, I guess you have found out that I'm the mower (in the Fam.) Well when ever I'm on it, I loose my mind. I think of all kinds of stuff. (I know my Mother is thinking that SCARES me.) That's what she always says when I get a great IDEA!!! So not to offend anyone but my parents make all the kids do chores. And we DO NOT GET ALLOWANCE!!! This may come as a shock to some of you, we get money if we do things that are not the regular chores. I got to thinking some of my friends don't even have to make their BEDS. That Shocked me, we have to make our beds everyday. Some kids get paid to make there beds, I mean Hello, that is something you should just do. What happened to doing chores because your part of the family, and you live there? Well that's all I had to say, I'm sorry if I offended anybody. Just thought I would share a little piece of my brain. c ya :-)

Cruisin in Style !
Hello,
Well today I mowed the back field of the store(Great Doggie Doos.) While I was sitting minding my own business, I got to thinking what all the people riding by were thinking? Were they thinking.... that poor girl having to mow, or I would hate to have her job! I mean all these things were popping through my head. I was thinking I enjoy mowing, (which I do) and who really cares what people are thinking. I think often times we (I) fall into the trap of what people think of us. I think what if we (I) were just ourselves, instead of following others. I have heard my dad say so many times that I can quote it "Always be a leader, Not a follower." So I was thinking about mowing in a positive way, my dad won't let me start driving so mowing is good practice. In my head I was not on the mower, I was driving a Lamborghini!!! Not in the field, but on the streets of HOLLY WOOD!!! I have a dream of being A Christan Singer, you might think it's a silly dream, but I don't. So next time you pass by Great Doggie Doos and see me mowing the back field don't think poor girl. Think that girl is cruisin in style!
