I found this on Etsy today. I had to laugh. Being a blogger, half the time I feel like I'm talking to myself and if someone is reading, well, why on earth do they come back to read my random rambling. So this little locket cracked me up. You can find this and many other really cool lockets at {Polarity}. Love this shop!

Here's a little poem I wrote for her a while back.

For some reason it came to mind today

I remember the day she told me she was chosen

and writing and now the cover!

Here's to her continued success in this journey.

May God bless it beyond the imagined!

Jesus on FIRE in Cincinnati!

So, last night, my little town and southwest Ohio lost a major landmark. His name - Jesus - Touchdown Jesus to be more specific. It's a statue of Jesus with his arms out that stands 62 feet tall by 40 feet wide and resides on the property of Solid Rock Church on I75. The real name of the statue is King of Kings, but it is lovingly known around here, and across the nation, as Touchdown Jesus and sometimes Big Butter Jesus (as made famous by Heywood Banks).

A little after 11pm last night we had a terrible storm, the statue was struck by lightning and set ablaze. There is nothing left of it this morning but the steel structure. The church promises Jesus will be back and this time made in a less flammable material. Unfortunately, the church also suffered damage to their amphitheater and ,with the loss of the sculpture and the other damage, they are looking at nearly $750,000 worth of damage. But it's a large church, about 4000 members, and I'm sure they will all rally together and the damage will be fixed quickly. Good luck to them and I, for one, will be looking forward to the new Jesus sculpture!

Playing on Polyvore

I need this outfit and a place to wear it.

blog slacker

i don't seem to have much to blog lately. kind of going through a slump. everything's random. here are a few of my current random thoughts.

1. loves that cole has spent that last 30 mins playing with silly bandz that just came in the mail. he really wanted them.
2. i'm hoping the hummus i bought at the grocery is as good as the hummus i recently had at a party. the last brand i tried was a bit bitter. it's best fresh.
3. the dishes aren't going to wash themselves.
4. wonders if the paint on my latest project is dry. i want to continue on to the next layer.
5. ready to buy an old house and gut it.
6. could take a walk and keep walking...just like forest gump.
7. i still feel happy everytime i eat since having my gallbladder out. no pain.
8. love that its a hotter-than-normal summer.
9. need to get a vacation on the calendar.
10. has never really felt the need to have a pool but laying out last weekend by the hotel pool outdoors may have changed my mind. the most relaxed i've been in a long time.
11. love the feel of the sun baking my skin to a crisp.
12. have been enjoying my family immensely.
13. can't believe i have a 14 yr old, high school freshman. i'm so not old enough for this to be happening.
14. i think we'll grill out dinner and relax on the deck with a fire and some roasted marshmallows. ok i bought chocolate too.
15. found my journal. finally.
16. ready to make some new art.

the speed of life...

Somehow my life seems to be going at

the speed of this train.

I don't know how it happend.

It just did.

Everything is a blur right now.

The end of the days come and new

ones begin before I even know it.

What really freaks me out is that

we just started the month of JUNE!

Half of the year is g-o-n-e.

All of my attention in the last 3 months has been

focused on health, of the physical kind.

All of it unexpected and urgent.

Looking through my list of goals

at this half way mark

it appears that I have not really

made progress on the things

I set out to do this year.

However, I feel accomplished.

Just because my year, thus far, has been full

of the unexpected doesn't mean I am behind

on my goals. It just means that maybe what I had

written down wasn't what I needed to focus on

in the timing I had planned.

I have given lots of my focus to

my family and am fulfilled by it.

I have let myself get

stressed and overwhelmed

with the work I have gotten behind on.

It weighs on me, of course, but

I know in my heart I have made

the right choices. Not perfectly

executed but right choices.

By making the right choices, I believe,

this works in favor of my written list,

eventhough my written list and my

 "right choices" are not related.

Romans 8:28 comes to mind.

It seems like something has

been trying to steal my focus

with unexpecteds and by

dialing up the speed of life,

but I have not gotten sidetracked.

As the second half of the year begins

I am keeping my written list in mind.

It still excites me to complete it.
