Gift #173- Hanging with American Idol Finalists

Phil Stacey from American Idol season 6 came to our chapel last night.  He put on a great show and even gave me 2 of his CD's.  It was so inspiring to hear him sing and to know that he is using his talent  to serve the Lord.  What a blessing.

Gift #172- Man's Best Friend

I know that I have already counted Turbo as one of my gifts.  I might have even counted him twice.  But look at him!  He is just so darn cute!  Hank took these pictures of him a few days ago.  He says that he is not a big fan of Turbo and he tries to give him away to every person who pets him.  But I know that, secretly, he loves this little dog as much as I do.  Right Hank?  Thank God for my little Turbo and for my husband who secretly likes him too!  :0)

Gift #171- A Quiet Place

This is my favorite place in the whole house.  It is my quiet place.  It is not usually so very quiet.  But if I get up early enough, I can spend an entire hour here with my dog and my coffee and my Bible.  The screen to the left of the chair is my laundry closet.  The dryer heats up my cozy little space on the cold mornings.  Base housing can be a little drab and dated, but you can make it your own as long as you have a quiet place to sit (and of course a little dog to sit with you).
