Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses: I don't know about you but I am ready for the Lord to return.

1 Thessalonians 4:14-18
14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

15For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Dress like a cow day at chick fil a!!!!!!

We had a great time at chickfila today. It was totally free because we dressed like a cow. What a great way to have a "Frugal Friday".

It has been a while :)

Wow so much has gone on. The last week has been crazy. Last Monday, June 30 my car got broken into. They stole my purse and my husband's gps. They broke the window so I had to do an insurance claim, and I am still in a rental car, that only seats 5. Not to mention the last two weeks I have been sick. But on the bright side I finally won a giveaway from Christine's blog. Thanks so much. I hope everyone is having a great summer.
