Just some things I thought I would mention:)

To be really great in a little thing, to be truly noble and heroic in the insipid details of everyday life.

Is a virtue so rare as to be worthy of canonization.

-Harriet Beecher Stowe

A Christian worldview is not a set of sunglasses that tint your vision to the truth.

It's not an antibacterial disinfectant that you can spray on your door knobs in order to destroy the bad bacteria of a morality and lies that attempts to come in from elsewhere.

A Christian worldview is not an incantation that you say three times while clicking your heels together in order to give you invincibility and invaluable Heavenly wisdom.

The beginning of a Christian worldview is wisdom and the beginning of wisdom is fear and trust. Fear the lord and trust him, and you have already begun to be wise.

But this fearing and trusting implies relationship, personal interaction and communion.

This, what we mean by a Christian worldview is actually something which might be more accurately termed as Christian loyalty.

To have a Christian worldview is not know certain words or catchphrases; it is not to flip a mental spiritual switch; and it doesn't even mean always being right.

It means being loyal to the One who was always right.

foundation of our new house

So this goes back awhile but I figured I could blog about it..
We have an ICF foundation, Insulating Concrete Form for a basement.
What it basically is, is Styrofoam that is around 4 inches thick and 3 inches of concrete sandwiched between another layer of Styrofoam.

  

Any questions? Do you have a ICF foundation?

Poetry

So I thought I would share this, God has placed this on m heart and I hope it touches yours.
"Hurry, hurry, no time to waste no mistakes today! How little do people know that we are all human.
We are all in a great rush to get move'n
That we miss the Bible and getting spiritually fit
We forget Bible = base so to the burning pit
That's where we're fit to go
But Jesus said no
Sacrificing for us
He gave His life which wasn't a must
We have spent all our time, energy and money to have fun and have a life of comfort down here
But really how short is life?
When all you do is strife?


God is love and when you love that's light
Someone although try as they might
Cannot turn it into night
If you keep God in your sight
You might have a great flight
Heavenward

Oils?

Okay so me and my family are very natural and non gmo, no dye hardly any gluten sort of people.

We prefer natural stuff more than pills.

We aren't extremists though, if you a violently throwing up and complaining that you have a fever for a week then it's time to take you in to the ER.

So today I was going to talk about peppermint.

If you look at the time I posted this blog, it's really early.

Part of that is because I am sleeping over at a church with volleyball team and for some odd reason the AC isn't working.. Anyway back to Peppermint

What is it good for?

It's good for headaches, nausea, motion sickness and many more that I can't think of at the moment XD

What do I do if I have a headache and want Peppermint?

Apply a drop or two to your palm and rub your first finger into it. After your finger has got a lot of it on there rub on temples of head and third eye. (Middle of head)

Also rub at the nape of the back of your neck and your big toes.

What do I do with peppermint when I have nausea and motion sickness?

Put some on your thumb and suck on it for a minute or so, this clears up your throat and your sinuses. Rub on belly button, clock wise because your DNA is clock wise.

Always rub any oil clock wise because you're DNA is wound clock wise. 

What if I got some accidentally in my eye?

Out of personal experience do not try to flush your eye out with water. DO NOT it will just make it worse. So the trick is to get a Q-tip and get coconut oil or avocado

oil on the end and put it into your tear duct of your eye. Do not shove it in there, gently place, this is your eye..The oil will pull any oils (plant oils that is) from your

eyes.

Another thing is that there is a quality  of oils, some brands may dilute theirs and others have full strength, we as a family, use Young Living oils and found them quite

trustworthy..

Do you have oils? Do you have a favorite oil? Are you natural? Want to share some tips? Comment below!

Laughter keeps my sanity

Dementia, Alzheimers and Memory Loss

Dementia is something that me and my family are struggling with right now. We are guardians of an

old man who has been like a grandfather to us.  It is a condition much like Alzheimer, I really don't

know the difference to tell you the truth.  We recently put him in a home for memory care and we go

up to visit him often. It is a wake up call when some random older person walks up to you, "There is

something about this place.... I can't remember though, can you help me try and find out?" or when

that angry disgruntled lady gives you the stink eye. Hollering throughout the room saying, "If you'll

pipe down so will we!"  It's super funny yet saddening at the same time, you see the funniest things. 

On the flip side sometimes they get really paranoid and angry, sometimes to the point where you just have to walk away.

Do you want to share about a  family member with dementia or Alzheimer's?

Tile

So sorry all for not posting anything, we have been working with tile and grout lately so I have had no time to blog.

So here are some important things about tile.

Make sure you get a good grout,

Measure twice cut once,

Make sure that you get a professional to lay the tile,

Grouting is hard work, get siblings and family to help out, this is most important cleaning up right after they just grouted.

If you don't get it clean you'll have to do a LOT of scrubbing later.

Use a sponge and a bucket of water to wipe grout, one wipe each side of the sponge and rinse VERY frequently.

Let it cure for the number of hrs on package. So not wipe area after you already did as directed above, it will get the grout out of the cracks and you'll have more a mess.

Please please please wear knee pads or a knee cushion. (Do not say you don't need it. You will need it)

Again my apologies for not keeping the schedule and I will try to get posting ASAP

Thanks for reading all!

A perfectly nice day...

Car crashed or almost, we all have had experience driving crashes.

Well, here are some of my families crashes

1 it involves a 4 wheeler, no not fun. I ran into a tree and bent the framing of the wheeler. Positive side: My dad couldn't believed I walked away from it without injury. God was watching over me that day.

2 Me again, can't seem not to wreck a wheeler XD...

So we are remodeling the pre-civil war log cabin and Dad asks me, "Honey, could you do me a favor and ride up to the house to get a mudding trough."

Me: "Sure Dad."  So I hop on the four wheeler and ride up. Just as I was cresting the hill I thought to myself, "I haven't had a wreck in a while."

 Note: it is not safe to turn an old four wheeler on a dime going at an angle on a hill. NOT GOOD. Of course this is what silly old me did..

The wheeler tipped and I jumped off. Long story short, four wheeler was fine and I had to go to the emergency room because I broke my wrist..

Life lessons...

3 We were coming home from church one night, on the interstate when a semi- truck comes into our lane trying to dodge a car that is flipped upside down in the middle of interstate.

It turned so sharply I thought it was going to roll onto us.

Not exaggerating. Mom sped up,l semi truck was fine, all of this happened under 30 seconds.

Again I believe God saved us. It just shows you that life can be normal one second and the next gone.

So spend each day like it's your last, you never know when you'll go to heaven.

Got a story? Share!

So What's New?

Now that I am back figured we could chat if you had the time. You see, I like to know my readers, helps me get to know you a bit better:) The poll is another you can answer:)

So if you could watch only one movie for a year what would it be?

If you decided to take a trip with a 100 people, where would you go?

Which sounds better, having a bunch friends but none close to you or would you rather have a couple of friends that are close to you?

If you had to live somewhere for the rest of your life and never move, where would you go?

Joke time! (feel free to share your own jokes.. You might notice Indiana Jones in a couple...
