Well, Mom told me to update my blog, but I didn't have anything new and exciting to talk about, so I thought I would show you the most recent page that I just scrapbooked. Pretty sad that I'm just now getting to summer pics, but one of my goals for this year is to scrapbook at least one night a week. That way I should be able to catch up a little. And if I do it one night a week, then I get addicted and I actually end up doing it more often than that. It probably doesn't help that I'm trying to tackle 3 scrapbooks at one time (one for each of the girls and one for family)! This page will go in the family album.

Our church is in the middle of Missions Conference (a time during the year when we focus on missions and raising money to support our missionaries) and last night we had our opening rally. David Fuller was the speaker and his talk was so convicting. I haven't been able to get it out of my mind. Our theme is "Go Tell It From the Mountain" (since our new church is on a hilltop), so he was talking about when we go and tell, what do we tell them? If we don't have an intimate relationship with Christ which brings inner joy, then we will have nothing to offer people who need that joy. We can't give what we don't have. And he used a verse in Acts (19:11-13) that talks about people using the name of Paul and the name of Christ to heal and drive out demons. And one demon looked at them and said, "I know Jesus and I know Paul, but who are you?" So if we don't have a relationship with Christ that gives us ultimate joy, then people will notice that we don't have what we are trying to offer them! Wow, for me that was really powerful!

A quick update on the potty training thing. The girls are catching on!!!! Until today, Kenzie had no accidents for two weeks (of course, when we are out, they wear a pull-up...but at home, panties all day!) and Sydney has not had an accident for a week! At the beginning, I thought they would never get it, now I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Praise the Lord!

Mom, hope that's a good enough update for you...I better get a comment from you! I haven't taken any pics this week of the girls, so I will try to be better next week. Last Sunday, when we were getting our ice storm (yeah right) the girls helped me make chocolate chip cookies and we forgot to get pics of it. They had a blast though, so maybe we will do it again this weekend and remember to take pics this time. Anyone want some cookies?

I just got off the phone with Linz and found out that she's coming home from IWU for the weekend! WooHoo! I'll be going to some late movies this weekend! Yeah!
