Hard to believe it has been three months already since we have gotten married. Wow...time flies! It has been a wonderful journey so far. God has really helped us. We are looking forward to what God has in store for us in the coming months and years.

Never Forget...

In Christ Alone

A new favorite song... Lyrics: In Christ alone my hope is found, He is my light, my strength, my song; this Cornerstone, this solid Ground, firm through the fiercest drought and storm. What heights of love, what depths of peace, when fears are stilled, when strivings cease! My Comforter, my All in All, here in the love of Christ I stand. In Christ alone! who took on flesh Fulness of God in helpless babe! This gift of love and righteousness Scorned by the ones he came to save: Till on that cross as Jesus died, The wrath of God was satisfied - For every sin on Him was laid; Here in the death of Christ I live. There in the ground His body lay Light of the world by darkness slain: Then bursting forth in glorious Day Up from the grave he rose again! And as He stands in victory Sin's curse has lost its grip on me, For I am His and He is mine - Bought with the precious blood of Christ. No guilt in life, no fear in death, This is the power of Christ in me; From life's first cry to fina...

Cnicinnati trip

Carl and I went to Cincinnati last weekend to celebrate Carl's birthday, which was the 28th. We went to a Cincinnati Reds game on Friday night. (They won, by the way...tickets to the game was Carl's birthday present.) There were fireworks after the game. The debris from the fireworks kept falling onto us and getting in our eyes. We went to the Zoo on Saturday. We didn't really think that we would see anyone that we knew while we were out there, but we saw our Pastor's wife sister (and fellow blogger), Kelly Stamper and her family. What a nice surprise. We stayed downtown at the Millennium Hotel, which was within walking distance of Fountain Square and Great American Ballpark. We really had a nice time. The weather was perfect, not too hot, but just right. We wished that we would have had more time there in Cincy, but maybe we can go back soon. I love the feel of the city. I love the old buildings and love being close to the river. Here are some pictures from our trip. F...

Update

As some of you may already know, I made a trip to the ER last Wednesday afternoon. I was having really bad chest pains right after lunch on my way back to work. When I got to work, my co-worker called Carl. Carl came and took my to the hospital. I was having pain right in the center of my chest, along with numbness in both my arms and shortness of breath. I had never had anything like that before. When we got to the Emergency Room, they immediately started working on me, treating me for my heart until they found out otherwise. They did an EKG, which looked good, gave me some aspirin, they even brought in the little bottle of nitro, but they didn't have to give me any. They ran a chest X-ray, and took some blood. One of the blood tests came back abnormal, meaning that I could have had a blood clot somewhere. They ran a CT Scan to make sure that I didn't have a blood clot. All in all, I spent about 4 hours there, and the doctor said that what probably happened was that I had some...

Twitter anyone?

Does anyone out there use Twitter? I started an account a few weeks ago. I haven't updated it much. But it is sorta neat to follow well known people. I am following Max Lucado, Bart Millard from MercyMe, Mark Hall from Casting Crowns, Ted Dekker, just to name a few. Oh, let's not forget that my place of employment also has a Twitter account...yes, good ole Milto Cleaners is on Twitter. It takes some effort to find the people, but sometimes they post some funny things...or some profound things in the case of Max Lucado. Love his writings. Back to the subject... If you do use Twitter, look me up and follow me. That is, if you are really really bored... Tweet, tweet.
