ICY ROADS

I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF CAR ACCIDENTS WITH THESE ICY ROADS! AT LEAST 20 THIS MONTH ALONE. ONE ATV WAS TURNED OVER IN THE DITCH ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL YESTERDAY!

ICE

Have you ever stood on ice and tried to walk?? Well, last night I was driving on the bridge going over badger road and it was like a sheet of ice!! It was scary!! The kids got all quite and was asking how I can drive on it!! Well, you take it slow and don't make any sudden moves!! There have been so many cars in the ditch and I don't like to drive on these roads but I we have to get to school. I don't mind driving but we live between to military bases and some of the new people don't know how to drive in this stuff!! Sometimes the fog is so bad that you can't see whats in front of your face!!
So please pray for us this winter while we drive!! We will covet them!
Smile!!

40 BELOW

Well, it is 40 below this morning and it's Saturday. As I am sitting here at the computer I can hear the house popping from the cold! We got our electric bill yesterday and it was, can you believe this, $455.00!! Electricity went up and ugh!!! Alms for the poor??? lol!
Sometimes I feel that I should go out and get a job to help with expenses but when I think about what might happen to my children when I am not there, it scares me!! God will provide if we trust Him. I know my place is with my children and I can confidently say that I have good children. Because I (volunteer) teach at their school and we do things together, They are happy first of all, and has made good choices so that they can be used by God.
Joy has had guys interested in her but Bill and I have told her from kindergarten that we have rules in this house and one of them is that they will not date! Dating is a set up for divorce. When people date, they (fall in love) and find out that oops, I am mistaken, lets find someone else! So you are giving yourself to him and him and him and, well, you get my meaning. What we do in our church and even if we didn't go to our church, we court. That means that when they are ready to get married, that they pray and ask God to help them find a Godly spouse. They will never be alone with them, they can see each other at church, in my home etc. and really pray about being married to them for the rest of their lives.
Did you know that when you get married, when the preacher says "now you may kiss the bride," that is supposed to be the first kiss?? I didn't know that.
Anyway, there are so many success stories at our church because these adults have waited until they are mature enough to make the right decisions and had their parents blessings. Here our just a few examples; Clayton and Robyn McCurdy (they are now missionaries in Meldova), Frank and Kim Bodiker (Andy works on their bus route), Peter and Angie Mowery (Joy works on their bus route), Tim and Gretchen Zesiger, David and Laurie Mowery, Chris and Jaime Green (Jaime's Dad is Representative John Coghill), a quite a few others.
Joy has actually thanked me because she has seen what her friends and cousins have gone through. She wants to go to college to major in elementary education an minor in High School Math.
Anyway, I have know idea how I got on this subject but maybe God wanted me to say this.
I don't know. I know that some of you might not agree with me but I feel in my own heart that this is what Gods wants.
How many people can say that there daughter is still pure at 17, and there children have never tried drugs or alcohol? I am pleased with my children and I know that they can fell me but if I am being here for them and doing my job as a mother, then the chances that they will fall into temptation are smaller and I know that I did it Gods way.
God Bless you and have a good weekend.
Do you have a church that you go to that really preaches the gospel?? Try one!! You won't be sorry!

THE WAHLS

This evening we got to visit with the Wahl family at Grandma Keener's. We had so much fun! It is always exciting when they come up from Tok to visit! It is Bill's sister and her husband Stephen who is the Docter in Tok and their five children! We always have a great time with them. Linda is always a blessing to me! I think above everyone on this earth, she is truly my best friend! She has known me since I was sixteen years old, has been throught thick and thin with me and knows all my faults but still loves me!! Talk about a Virtous woman!! Thats Linda!

This is the song that I would like to sing at my niece's wedding if she likes it.

GUESS WHAT??
My sister-n-law Tina called from Montana called me and asked me if I would go down and sing and decorate the wedding cake for my niece Marina's wedding in August. They will pay for the tickets!! I am sooooooo excited!!!
I got to go down for my niece Kimberly's wedding last April and had a wonderful time!! The wedding was wonderful and then I got spoiled by my parents for two more weeks!! It was so nice to also visit my friends the Misner's in Idaho also.
So prayerfully, I will be doing that the end of July, beginning of August!!! So please pray with me that it will all work out.

IT'S RAINING!!

On the way home from church last night it was raining!! So that means it had to be above 33 degrees when it actually could be 30 to 50 below zero out there. Well, at the Bible Baptist Church School where my children go and I teach school they cancel school if it's 40 below or colder and if it's an 'ice day' where it's to dangerous to drive into school. These are one of those days I think. I haven't got official word yet but I called the state troopers this morning and they said it is extremely bad out there.
Anyway, a friend of mine takes some gorgeous pictures and posts them on her blog so this picture is so awesome that I can't resist showing it to you. It was in December, 2007, the weather was 45 below zero and the sun was just coming up!! It is amazing to see Gods handiwork!!
