Froelich's Frolics

I have a new Starbucks love. I have completely fallen for their Birthday Cake Pops. Oh my goodness, they are so good! I also tried their Red Velvet Whoopie Pie tonight. It was good, but not near as good as the Cake Pops. I am actually saving these cake pops for Carl and I to have tomorrow...or maybe tonight when he gets home from work. :)

We have a totally UN-welcome guest in our yard. As I was leaving the house to go back to work after lunch on day this week, I saw this near our front porch. Talk about getting the willies. I hate snakes just about as much as I hate spiders. I think my fear/hatred of spiders is at the top of the list, with snakes being a close second. I know it is probably harmless, but I still don't like it. Fortunately, I haven't seen it anymore. Maybe it went off into the neighbor's yard. (Crossing my fingers!) Or maybe the thing can hide very, very well. We are having some company this weekend, so I hope the snake does not make an appearance.

I hope all you mothers had a very happy Mother's Day. I put together these flowers for the Junior Church kids to give to their mothers. I think they liked it, and the moms liked it too. We are doing an airplane theme in Junior Church for May and June. I got the idea from www.truthquest.net . It is the Flight School VBS, I am just using it as a Junior Church theme. I am stretching out some of the lessons over a couple of Sundays, instead of just one lesson per Sunday. The kids are enjoying it. Here is a picture of the bulletin board. I also started a new discipline incentive in Junior Church. Every Sunday, the kids can pick one of these out of a bucket to hold onto during the service. If someone misbehaves, he or she gets two warnings. The third time the child misbehaves, the token is taken away, and they do not get any candy at the end of the service. If they still have the token at the end of the service, they get candy and get to take to token home. The kids love it...they lik

I want to wish a Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. I am so very thankful for my Mom. I don't know what I would do without her. I am grateful for her Christian example, her compassion, her concern for others, and her love for God. Mom means a lot to me, and I love her very much. I am also thankful for my Grandmas. Grandma Miller is another Christian example to me. I know that she spends a lot of time in prayer for her children and grandchildren. I haven't spent much time with my Grandma Peña, but I do know that she loves her children and grandchildren. I have only seen her in person a few times, but I know she loves me. I am also thankful for my Mothers-in-Law, and Carl's Grandmas. They welcomed me into the family with open arms, I appreciate that very much. Happy Mother's Day!

This is the 4th (almost the 5th) of May, isn't it? It certainly does not feel like it out there. I am freezing! I am in sweats and covered with a blanket, and I am still cold. Plus, I have a cold like I typically get in the Winter, not the end of Spring. You know the kind, raspy voice, stuffy nose, sore throat, etc.  I will try not to complain too much, though. If being cold, and having a cold are all that is bugging me, I am blessed beyond measure. There are so many others out there facing much worse. Lord, help me to be thankful for what I have, and to pray for those in need, an be willing to help them in any way I can.

Another test with a photo. This is a photo of the 1611 KJV Bible that was on display at IHC last week. Pretty cool to see.

I downloaded a new blogging app for my phone. I am just making sure it works. Hey, everyone!
