Blizzard 2010

By MAD21

Well, I am happy to report that we survived the storm. I can only give an estimate as to how much we actually got at our house, but it was well over two feet.

We spent the entire day yesterday trying to find our driveway, dig out hubby's car, and start on the sidewalks. We also went down and helped two other neighbors. Thankfully, one of them brought their snowblower down to our house and helped us find the end of our driveway, which of course, will go totally missing again once the snow plows begin work in our development--I'm wondering where all that snow from the road is going to go.... I'm guessing we will have huge mountains lining our roads...

The screens on the windows were covered when we woke up, and the snow was piled up against the sliding door on the deck. All of our bushes were just covered in heavy snow.

Fingerprint Friday: Teachers

By MAD21

Three years ago we were looking for a preschool for our children to go to. We wanted to find a school that not only had opportunities for the girls to play with other kids, but had a good curriculum, and Christ as their foundation. Our girls loved to learn and we wanted them to be in an environment that encouraged good behavior where they could learn the basics, learn how to play well with others, with the freedom to share our faith.

Not only did we find an awesome preschool, we found an awesome school with a great educational philosophy and curriculum, with wonderful Christ-filled teachers. And to top it off, our girls can attend all the way through the 12th grade.

I Asked The Lord...

By Pat

I asked the Lord to speak to me
So I could hear his voice,
And so He sent a mockingbird
To make my heart rejoice.

I asked the Lord to show Himself
So I could see His face,
And so He sent a rainbow
To color outer space.
