He is Greater.....John 3:30 says He must become greater, I must become less"

I'm still chugging through it and faithful to it.  I love Psalm 16 and I'm not quite done.  Verse 7 says this, "I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me." Yes.  I will praise Him and yes, he does counsel me.  I often don't like what he is telling me to do or be....and his advice is sometimes not welcome.  My "yes" is in my Praise.  (Praise is easier than "yes").......lets all get good at praise so that we can sometimes manage "yes". Even at night, my heart instructs me...... Well.  We all know that nighttime is not easy here.  Tonight is no exception......sigh.  Pardon me while I deal with Precious and her flailing about.  I'll be back. .............  The good news is that we are sleeping.....if we allow the littles to sleep with us.  It's the getting to sleep that is hard right now.  But we are gaining ground.  Even at night, my heart instructs me.  I trust Him wit...

Hello.  I am Jedi.  I was a birthday gift to Isaac 3 years ago.....and the only dog in the house......until "she" showed up.  That big, furry, loud, busy Lexi.  Ugh.  She drives me crazy.  She wants to play and play and play.....and she's big and she's obnoxious and if you want to know the truth?  I don't like her much.  I don't know why she had to come.  We were doing fine without her.  Ugh.  Here's my only redemption.  I get to sleep in the bed.  She sleeps in a crate  Ba ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!

Hi.  My name is Lexi.  I am a 4 month old German Shephard puppy.  My person, Niki, decided I should join the family to be helpful.  She wants me to help with Precious Maryn when she is having a melt down.  I'm not sure what she wants me to do yet.....so I just nip at Precious and have accidents in the house and eat alot of busy bones.  Ever heard of 'em?  They are awesome.....and they keep me out of trouble for at least 15 minutes.  My person, Niki, buys them several times a week.  If you would like to start a fund for busy bones, feel free.  We also take grocery cards because I eat alot.  I like my dog food but I absolutely LOVE whatever is left on the table.  I'm only a baby puppy but I'm big enough to snag food from the dining room table!  Yey Me!  I like it here.  There are lots of people to scratch me behind my ears and throw the ball for me.  I'm glad I came to this house.....My person, Niki, wants ...

I have so many good ideas for ways to bless people.  It would be simply awesome if God, in His infinite power, would provide me with a generous fund with which to bless others.  I'm not selfish.  I wouldn't tap into it for personal reasons.....but I would love to be able to write good checks to bless good people for doing good works...... Lord?  Please?

So here is how we said farewell to 2014 and welcomed 2015.....chaos.....predictable.  But wonderful.  Pleasant places.  

Um.  Doesn't everyone let their children go out in the snow with silly string in shorts and pajamas.......?  Red glitter people.  Red glitter.  We had a different "red glitter" experience in the back porch with that dreaded silly string last week.  I was cooking dinner....it was too cold to be outside.....and I said.  "Fine.  Go for it".  Friday night I cleaned it up......wild Friday nights for me.....whoo hoo.  But.....yeah.  A broom got it off the ceiling....a wet rag off the screens and vacuum off the rug and cushions. It's all good.
