Scrapbooking

Is great! It's been so long since I've done it, I forgot how much fun it is. I'm in a new summertime bible study at my church, in a 6 wk course done by Lisa Whelchel, where a side profit is a nice scrapbook about my own life and walk with Christ that I can pass on to my kids. So, it's not like I've been blogging SO much lately, but it'll probably be doing it even less now that I'm already getting obsessed for perfection with my new project. But it's fun and productive, and I'll still get all my politics commentary from Steph.

Aawww....

He found an extensive list of tongue twisters on the internet, this is one of his favorites. Mom, you like the new haircut?

Open Mouth, Insert Foot....

Oh well, guess I guessed wrong.
I'd still like to see DA duet with Jordin Sparks.
Man, ZZ Top is lookin archeaic!!!
Ok, on to more serious stuff next time!

David vs. David

Last night's finale was pretty good. Not outstanding or anything. I really wanted David Cook to come out and WOW me, because David Archuleta has so much momentum. He (DC) was kinda blah last night. I thought he did ok, but Archie really brought it. His (DA) 2nd song gave me chills and his 3rd brought a tear to my eye. I know it sounds silly, I'm 30 years old, blogging about American Idol, like there's not more important things going on in the world, but hey, let's keep it light. I think this was the most talented top 3 we've ever had. Especially compared to 2 seasons ago, when the finale was Kat McPhee and Taylor Hicks. That was a pretty sorry year in my opinion. ANYWAY...I'm gonna say an early congrats to David Archuleta, and look forward to hearing him and David Cook and Syesha on the radio next year after the tour. I'd really love to see Jordin & David do a duet.

Buh-bye, Jason!

Yes, I'm gonna blog about American Idol. I know I should've posted it on here already, but by week 2 of the top 12, I've been hoping and somewhat expecting the top three to be the David's and Syesha. As long as one of those 3 wins it, I'll be happy. I think all three of them will have successful recording careers after the tour. As long as Jason goes home tonight, I'll be proud to know I called the top 3 from the get-go. You can ask my Mom & several co-workers at Chappy's. I would've like to have seen Jason go home before Carly & John, but oh well. He must have a huge teenage-texting-generation of girls devoted to him, cause he can't sing that well (sorry, Stacy). They criticized him for singing Bob Marley, but I think he just sang the wrong BM song. He would've sounded so much better singing One Love, or the Redemption Song, or Stir it Up, or even Buffalo Soldier...anything but I Shot the Sheriff! DA, DC and Sy really showed him up last night.
I predict 3rd- David Cook, 2nd- Syesha, and winner David Archuleta. You tube has a video of David A singing last Christmas at church the song Mary Did You Know. Check it out, he's so awesome!

God is GOOD!

All the time! He is my provider....waiting tables is kinda like casting lots. You know, in the bible all the time how it talks about casting lots? You can choose your section, you can even choose your customers sometimes, you can choose to work hard and even go that extra mile, but you really never know how much money you're going to make until it's all said and done. The other day I picked up an extra shift for breakfast, which I used to work 5 days a week, but almost never since I've been back. It's amazing to me how many breakfast regulars remember me. I was gone for 2 years! Anyway, I had a table of 6 guys, their bill was $42, they gave me $60 and told me to keep the change. Then I had one guy, whose bill was $7.50, when I picked up his money, I swear he got out a $10 bill, so I said, "I'll be right back with your change.", took it over to the counter to make change, saw that it was actually a $20, went to give him his change, and he was gone! To me, that was an angel in disguise. Stuff like that happens to other servers all the time, but not me. I noticed I've been blogging a lot about money lately, I guess that's cuz we don't have much of it right now. But that's ok...we'll make it through...I think. Hubby started a new job this week, but it turned out to be total BS, not what was advertised at all. But at least when that didn't work, he was motivated to go a few other places looking for some work. I'm sure he'll get something good going next week. Until then, just remember, God is good, all the time! (All the time, God is good. :) Stick around for the upbeat part - that's how it sounds in my head.

Now this is frightening!

I recieve a daily devotional email from a member of my church, and this morning, he relayed this link that he got after his devotional was sent out today.
I am glad now that I can say I really don't watch Oprah that much. I had no idea she had gone this far. I thought she was just sort of self-serving, doing nice things, great things, even, to help those without, using her massive millions for good, and I always kinda thought she was closer to an atheist-state than anything else. To know that she is reaching a whole lot of people with wackiness like this is frightening.
Kudos to the woman in her audience who stood up and defended her faith by reminding Oprah that there IS only ONE way. And when O said that when she heard our God is a jealous God, that something seemed wrong with that.....hello? She was just way off base with that line of thinking. Well, like I said in my dream, "Keep your eyes on the skies!"
