Ps 34:17-18
I liked this phrase from The Bible Ps 34:17-18 it really spoke to me a couple weeks ago.
"The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them, he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to
the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
"The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them, he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to
the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
Why does this always happen?
When you first move to a new city, you meet your neighbors, parents from sports, kids school, grocery store. Whatever random playdates and such. I have lived in the Ranch for 5 years now and looking bad at the friends I have now, I never ran into them never saw them driving. Now once I am not friends with someone I see them EVERYWHERE!
I have had some bad luck in the friend department when it comes to Ranch moms, don't know why maybe because I'm not stuck up, I don't drive an SUV (well right now) I'm not fake, I tell it how it is??? Anyway, I now run into these ex-friends all over the place. One mom I ran into at the gym, I was cordial and said hello and asked how she had been, next day saw her at the store, just said hello in passing. NOW I see a different contraversial mom driving by me almost everyday. She has dodged me in the hall at school (very 1st grade, she must have learned it from her 1st grade daughter). I know it's going to happen this summer that we end up at the same pool or something with the kids. Why does this always happen? What do you say and do to an ex-friend that you can just feel the tension a mile away?

"I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell" Red Band Trailer
I just finished the book, I hope they serve beer in Hell by Tucker Max, I picked it up off the book shelf just because I liked the book title. Cause I do like my beer! I brought it home and actually decided to read the back of the book to see what it was about. All the book listed was actual comments of former readers and what they thought. I'd have to say Tucker Max may be 50/50 on the ratings. He was called some pretty bad names by women slut, ass*&le, jerk, ect. yet very wonderful names like Pimp, coolest guy ever, ect. from the men. That's when I was like what kind of book is this?
I assumed it would just be a funny story but not only was it funny it was also discusting, disgraceful, and revolting and plain ..way to much information...I liked it! I could barely put the book down towards the end.
The book is all about Tucker Max and his life of drinking and getting laid. He literally has multipule book deals and now a MOVIE (trailer above) all about how he plays women and just how shit faced he can get. The guy is not only lazy but needs himself some rehab! Like I said the book did have some discusting parts that I could of gone without but it was funny. He dished out some bad stuff but he got his karma back 10 fold! Tucker will ulitmately be able to say he has lived life to the fullest. I wonder what his bucket list would look like. Could you imagine being one of the thousands of girls he's slept with, then to read all about it in his BOOK? When you sleep with someone does it ever cross anyones mind you may be a story later? No not me! This is one guy I am glad I have never run across.
The ending of the book was kind of turning of events, he was dealt a hardship and I am wanting to read the second book just to see what happens with the "one night stand". It only takes one mishap to change the way you view things. Will he change??? DO they really serve beer in Hell???
Anyone else read the book and have an opinion? If you have are you going to see the movie? I would like to see the movie.
(mom...don't read the book just for your own good)

At what age?
At what age do you think it's ok for your kids to have there own Facebook account? I have some nephews on facebook that are around 11 and one at age 6. Today I log into my account and my sons friend who is 7 has friend requested me. First why does he want to be friends with me???
I have not responded to his request at this time, I'm pondering the reasons why he wants adults as friends. If I was this kid my first thought would to look for classmates and such, if you couldn't find certain friends ask them at school to join.
So anyone out there reading this blog post, let me know your thoughts. I am slightly considering my son to get an account, but under my supervision. It would really be more for games and to keep in touch with family for we don't have any in CO.

Francesca Battistelli - Beautiful, Beautiful
So everyone has that one song, that one song you tell everyone in the car to SHUT UP so you can turn up the radio full volume and belt out the words to. Well I have many of those my kids can definetly attest to that. But about a month ago we are sitting at church and one of the choir directors does a solo called Beautiful, Beautiful. I had never heard the song before but I was addicted. I wanted to know right away who sang it. And I was plesently surprised I was already listening to Francesca Battisitelli's Free to be me. I can listen to Francesca all day, it's very uplifting, she is such a passionate, amazing singer. I just had to share my belt it out song with you all! She has a full video out on youtube as well if you want to watch it. So now, turn up the volume on the computer and mute the kids.
Happy Listening!
