Taking the weekend off-- sometimes even I have nothing to say.

2 Corinthians 4:7-12; 16-18 (NIV)
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Before I Die

I know I said pics today, yet I'm running a little behind on my pic uploading. Some of my good blogger friends are doing the Ten On Tuesday, I enjoyed them, so I'm going there:

Ten Things To Do Before I Die:

1. Make sure everyone I love dearly has accepted Christ as their saviour.
2. Organize and label all our family photos.
3. Travel to Africa and help out wherever I am needed.
4. Go to Disneyland with my husband, children and grandchildren at one time.
5. Write a funny book.
6. Find a way to detail the horrifying experiences my stepmother (loosely used) put us through upon my father's and sister's deaths, and through that prevent it from ever ever happening to anyone else.
7. Somehow forgive my stepmother (again, loosely used) for what she's done.
8. Move my father's body next to my sister's just down the hill, then put up an "I have moved" sign!
9. Write a book for each of my children, just for their eyes, detailing how important they were and still are in John's and my lives.
10. Finish reading The Bible.
