I hope you have a beautiful start to your week!

PS: I wanted to share this with you today. 

Yes, it's religious. Yes, it's forward of me.

But for me, God is LOVE--regardless of your belief-system.

So everywhere and every time I hear GOD, I think LOVE.

 Much love to you today.


 God Is Able by Smokie Norful

 God is able, God is able
God is able and He won't fail


Tell me who can make a mountain
Move out of my way
And who can make a miracle
Because of my faith
And when the doctor says no
Who can still say yes
And when I'm in trouble
Who's right there to help me pass every test


God is able, God is able
God is able and He won't fail
Tell me who can make a river


Out of a little stream
And who can tell the clouds
To roll back so that the sun can look at me
And who can tell the wind to whistle through the trees
And when I'm in trouble who is the same God
That will come down and rescue me


God is able, God is able
God is able and He won't fail
He won't fail
He won't fail
Don't you dare give up
Don't you dare give in
God won't fail


God is able, God is able
Tell you God is able and He won't
God won't, He won't fail
God won't, He'll never leave


Never forsake you


No He won't fail


He'll be there till the end


God won't fail, He won't fail

When The Flu Comes To Town ...

Image
Even Harriet-the-dog threw up this weekend. What the what? Well, if there's anything positive about having the flu, it's having it over a weekend--so you can truly REST from your work/school/etc. Right? Uh, sure. Poor Bam, Dave, Zu and even Harriet-the-dog each caught a weird cold/flu-type thing that had them "down for the count" this weekend. It was awful. I was teasing Dave, but I'm not sure if it's worse to be the one with the flu--or the mom to the ones with the flu. Eeek! (We're talking a lot of laundry and disinfectant. If you're picking up what I'm layin' down.) Hopefully they will be on the mend here soon. And hopefully, the remaining non-flu family members have used enough Purell to keep us germ-free. Crossing my fingers. Hope your weekend was 'smarvelous. ***** PS: Booo. BYU lost this weekend. (Yay if you are a Ute fan--Liz B.) PPS: Not that it's a big deal in the Big Picture, but I did deactivate ...
