Kelly From Transylvania

Guess who I am friends with? Kelly from Transylvania! How cool is that? Who would have ever thought that I would have met someone in my neck of the woods from Transylvania? Kelly is beautiful and the creative type. She's fun to talk to! I look forward to spending more time with her. Oh, did I happen to mention that she is from Transylvania Louisiana not Transylvania Romania? Wonder when I will meet someone from Paris or Hell? By the way, that would be Paris Missouri or Hell Michigan!

Tornado's in Mississippi

Photo: What is left of a home in Magee Mississippi

The civil defense alarms awaken us at 12:45 AM and we took shelter in our hall. Thank the Lord we are OK! To the north of us by only a few miles, roofs are off of homes. These homes were hit by 100 mph straight winds. However, tornado's touched down in Magee and our daughter said that they are fine, but many homes are damaged and many people are being treated at a hospital. One Baptist church was destroyed. We thank the Lord for His protection! (Mary Jill travled through this town on Sunday)

Reunited

Reunited for fun and fellowship! We packed our short visit with hugs, laughs, tears, rejoicing, homemade cheesecake, Blue Bell Ice Cream, power naps, shopping therapy, Barnes & Nobles coffee shop therapy as well as a time of prayer! We decided that Mary Jill would make a great southerner!

My World Was ROCKED

For the past 2 Sunday's I've had a couple speaking engagements. This past Sunday I was the guest missionary in our children's church! I am always blessed in Praise and Worship. God has blessed ROL with a powerful P & W pastor and team. I wanted to stay in the grown up service to be a part of PW, but felt that since I was speaking in the children's church service, that I needed to go ahead to children's church. I was SO GLAD I did! MY WORLD WAS ROCKED! In their praise and worship time, I was trying to be a "cool grandma" by jumping around showing off a little energy. But when the 3rd song began, the spirit of intercession came on me as well as the kids. There was such pure worship sounding forth that I knew it was God moving in the house! I couldn't help but grab my camera and make a couple photos of some of the kids on their face before God.

Dedication Of Our Home

This was a powerful time of prayer and fellowship as a group of

our brothers and sisters came over and dedicated our home and honored us with fellowship and gifts.

Get Motivated Seminar

16,000 + people attended "Get Motivated" in downtown Jackson.

We (a group of us from church) went to serve in various areas. Not knowing anything about the organization, come to find out, it is owned and operated by Christians. While some worked the sales tables, other's worked the information booth, Ed and Pastor drove the golf carts that shuttled Zig Zigler, Dr Robert Schuler, former NY Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Archi Manning, Tamra Low and others from one place to the other. A group of 5 of us spent our day in the Power Room where we were interceding for this conference.

Get Motivated is a business seminar that is used to sharpen business skills, ignite motivation and accelerate effectiveness! This was a powerful jam packed two days that we were happy to be a part!

1952 Super A International Tractor

My brother in law restored this 1952 FarmAll. He has worked on it about 3 - 31/2 months. Unfortunately we didn't take a "before" picture when rusty and brown. New parts include muffler, seat, carburator, starter, and two front tires. The red paint is International Red paint. The right rear tire is dry-rotted and split and is still to be replaced. The old/new parts were ordered from a restoration supply company. Yeah Albert!

A Southern Snow

"They" said it was going to snow! Now we all know who "they" are. For once, "they" were correct! Sure enough here in the deep south.......it snowed!
