Happy Friday Everyone.. I don't have classes today.. I am headed out to the kids school in awhile. They are having a Fall Harvest Party from 11-2:30. The community is invited.. Anyway I am headed over there, they are feeding us lunch and lots of activites. I am taking my camera with me to take some pictures.. The kids were allowed to dress up in fall themes, no scary weird things.. I think this harvest party thing is a great idea.. I am not a fan of Halloween so harvest parties are just fine with me..

This is the kids weekend at their dad's house along with it being youth hunt weekend for deer hunting... So the Jill is excited to go hunting.. Jacob wanted to go till Jill told him how early they get up.. LOL He decided that maybe that was not what he wanted to do...

Well I have laundry started and I need to get a few things done around here.. Since the kids are going to be gone and I have been sick all week I think I am going to rest this weekend..

Have a great day. If you go Trick or Treating be careful and if you are staying home then have a great time...

God Bless,

*So if you are someone who likes to leave nasty messages unsigned then this is for you if not please disregard and go on...* 

From now on only registered readers will be  able to read my posts. I think if you want to leave mean, hateful, judgemental just down right rude comments for someone you should at least be a big enough person to be able to be signed in to comment and let your name be shown.. If you can't leave your name with your comment then you must not really believe in what you are saying.. I also feel like if you can't leave your name you are just trying to mean, hateful and rude. Let's be mature people here and act our ages and not do something childish such as leave nasty comments for people if we can't sign our own names to it..

* Back to regular bloggong now*

Thank you and have a great day.

God Bless,

I am going to keep this short sweet and simple. I went to get my hair cut and eye brows waxed and when we got back to town I met ex dh and his wife (whom I could tell was not in a good mood).. I tell ex dh there better not be any trouble this weekend.. And off I went.. I went to a town about 30 minutes away to eat with some friends and get a call from my mother who says " you better scurrie your little self back to my house. We need to talk and I have your kids.." So after several phone calls and a trip back to my car I get to moms house to find out what happened..

They stopped at my moms to drop off something and my mom went out to talk to ex and tell him she was sorry bout his brother and etc. She says his wife was hateful and witchy to her and saying things about the kids.. They left and got maybe 2 miles down the road and all heck broke loose.. Ex took kids back to my mom and took his wife home... Needless to say it was not a good weekend..

My kids do not like their stepmom and told their dad they do not want to be around her as she is calling them names and being mean to them. My ex did the right thing he took the kids back to my mom..

Anyway the stepmom got it to where they did not have the kids..

Please pray for her. She is having some problems and my kids are catching the blunt of it... I will not let them go be around her anymore.. My kids do not deserve that..

God Bless,

I was watching a movie last night and although I fell asleep before it was over I had an ah ha moment during it.. They started singing Just as I am.. I have to admit that this is one of my favorite hymns and I love to sing it and to hear it....

The words go like this......

Just as I am without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed or me,
and that Thou bidst me, come to Thee;
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come

God wants us to come to Him just as we are, He doesn't care where we are or where we have been. Jesus His son died on the cross and shed His blood for you and me and all we have to do is come to Him.

Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot; to thee whose blood can cleanse each spot.
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.

All we have to do is come to Him and He will rid us of our blots and make us whole in Him again. He wants us to come and give Him our lives and to rid us of the wrongs in our lives..

Just as I am though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt fightings and fears within, without. Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.

When life is too much and everything is a mess or full of hurt, doubt and you have fears and do not know where to turn. God is there and we need to turn to Him and let Him carry our burdens and help us through the muck and yuck of life..

Just as I am poor, wretched, blind; sight riches healing of the mind. Yea all I need in thee to find. Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.

He wants us to come to Him just as we are.. We don't have to worry about what we look like or anything else just come to Him as we are and let Him heal us..

Just as I am thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve. Because Thy promise I believe. Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.

Come as you are and let God take care of the rest.. You know no matter what happens or how I feel in life I know that God is there for me and will always be.. Ask me why or how I know and I will say that I know just because He said so..

Just as I am thy love unknown, hath broken every barrier down, now to be thine, yea thine alone. Oh Lamb of God I come I come.

He gives us a love that is unknown from any other and will break all the barriers down.. I love you Lord thank you..

Just as I am, of that free love;
The breadth, length, depth and height to prove,
Here for a season then above, Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.

We are here on earth for a time and will have to deal with that life, for a season, but then we get to go above and live with Christ for eternity.. That alone gives me the Hope to keep going no matter how bad this life might seem to be...

Just as I am without one Plea....

I had to run to the grocery store this am to get a gallon of milk and I ran into a lady that I have known since I was a little girl in fact I have spent many nights at her house when I was growing up.. She looked a bit stressed out and I called her name and she stopped and we talked for a time. She is a good, honest, hardworking lady and so sweet... I told her to take care of herself and she said that she worries about everything and it is about to get her down.... I know that between her health and her hubby's health she has a lot on her plate and that she works hard plus she is very active in our Church..  We talked about life and things and we talked about being busy..
You know I have been to a place before on more than one time where I have been so busy... to busy in fact. I happen to believe that when we are too busy we tend to let the important things in life slide. Sometimes we stay busy because we don't want to face things and sometimes we are so busy we forget that God has a plan and that we have to be open for Him to use us and to do His will. We get to busy and we miss chances to share God's love, grace, mercy and word. Let us remember to take the time to stop, watch and listen to God and where is He is leading and where He is leading us..
Being too busy not just hurts us because it wears us out and gets us down, but hurts those that we might miss the chance to share with, and it hurts God when we get to busy to really care if we are doing what He has called us to do...
Think about it are you too busy??????

God Bless,

I guess you kick people while they are down.... Now Now do not laugh I am not kidding.. You see I have come to learn that it is ok for you to go through a rough time in your own life and hit rock bottom, but I have learned that lesson from a dear old friend of mine.. A few years ago she was going through a very rough time and she hit rock bottom.. I will not get into all the things that happened, becasuse I am not one to judge.

I will admit that I have been having a rough time in life lately and I have not always made the right choices, however these things are between God and I and I do not need to defend myself or justify myself to anyone except God. I do know that when my friends are having a rough time in life and hitting rock bottom they know that I am here for them no matter and I will not turn away from them..

My kids and I have found a wonderful Church family who love us and encourage us. I have a friend who has been going through a rough time as well and we have spent quite abit of time together doing things with our kids together, hanging out and attending Church together.. We both kinda hit a low, but we are on our way back up.. I guess when life gets tough you find out who your true friends are...

A loss of a friend is sad, but you know when the friendship is not even and when your friends don't want others to know how good of a friend you really are there is a problem.. This same friend used to put my husband down alot and in fact would get into text wars with him because of what she thought or felt.. I would not ever do that and it hurts when you find out that your friends might not have ever really been a friend...

If you see someone hurting and having a rough time.. Pray for them, but don't try to kick them while they are down, ask them to defend themselves or justify themselves just love and pray for them and let them know you are there for them.. The worse thing you can do is accuse and kick them while they are down... Ask yourself what would Jesus do.....

Have a great day,

God Bless,

Good Morning,

I know that sometimes life is sometimes harder than we expect it should be. I know that sometimes we think that things should be different than they are, but we also have to remember that when we make choices we have to deal with the aftermath. God is in control and He is there for us.

One of the verses in the Bible I love is...................
But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
 Fear Not for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10
As I the Lord your God will hold your right hand, Saying to you, Fear Not I will Help You.. Isaiah 41:13

We as humans tend to get in a hurry and we take off on our own instead of waiting on God and we grow weary and faint and get overloaded when we need to let God be in control and we need to wait and do things when God tells us to do them. We humans make life so much more complicated than it has to be because we don't have the patience to wait. We live in a we want it now world and we want it now no matter the cost.. Sit back relax and wait a bit, maybe you are being protected by not getting it now like you want it..
I know that I sometimes get scared, but you know what with God there is no reason to be scared, He is the ONE person who knows and wants what is best and will take all the care to make sure you are ok and get what you need without hurting you..
Don't worry I am talking to myself just as much as I am talking to ya'll.. I know that I have problems in this area, but I am encouraged that God wants only the best for me and that He will take care of us, that we need to be patient and wait on Him and wow think of how great the rewards are for us if we will just wait on Him...

God Bless,

Hi there.. How is everyone doing?? I am doing fine.. I have to tell you that I was laying in bed last night and I was thinking about what is going on in my life, what some of my friends are going through and thinking about encouragement.. I really think that I am supposed to use my blog as an encouragement.. I seem to be able to encourage others no matter what is going on with me and so I feel like God wants me to use my blog so I am going to try to write an encouraging post everyday.. I hope that you will read and be encouraged.. I am going to start today here in just a bit with a bit about what has been going on in my life and how I am encouraged...

I hope that my blog will help you or someone you know going through similar things.. I am going to use real life things and show encouragement through what God has done in my life....

Keep checking back and let me know what you think...

God Bless,
Mars

I know I know the title of this blog could mean a million and one things... It could mean that I really want to talk about those cute black sheep that God put on this big old earth for a reason. I could just be a title to make you think huh?? It could mean that I want to talk a bit about being a black sheep, how one feels and is treated as one.... You know this blog could be nothing about black sheep.. However I must say that yes it does have something to do with the way we are treated and the way we treat others at times and make them feel like they are the black sheep..

First I would like to ask you a question.. Does God treat any of His children like they are black sheep?? Does God treat all of His children equal no matter how bad they might have messed up?? Does God want the best for His children no matter what?? Does God love each of His children unconditionally?? Yes He does... So why do we as humans think that we have the right to be mean, hateful and put down others for not doing things the exact way we think they should do things or living the exact way we think they should?? Hello none of us are perfect so why do we think we have the right to judge and put down other's???

I know that there will be some people who are going to read this post and be mad, but I am sorry I am sick and tired of being the one everyone puts down and tries to hurt and say how bad I am... I feel like part of the problem is that I have always been one to try to make people happy and now I have decided that it is time to be ME to find out who I am.. And I am not a puppet on a string for people anymore, however I do not need you assuming things and listening to everything that people say....

I know that I may not always make the right choices, but I think maybe if you stopped and took a look at your own lives you will see that you are not perfect and have not always made the right decisions. Do I run to you when you make choices that I don't agree with and put you down or tell everyone what a mess up you are?? No because I know that God made each of us unique and we all have to make choices and live with the consequences.. We don't need someone poking their noses in and trying to run our lives..

I ask all of you that are treated like the black sheep to stop and start taking up for yourself. You are not a bad person and you have your own life to live just as those who want to stand around talking about you. For those who treat people like they are the black sheep.. Sit back and look at your own life and see if you see perfection... I am sure you will see cracks in your glass.. However if you don't and are without sin then you may throw the first stone... It is time for people to mind their own business and to stop trying to hurt others...

Pray before you speak..

God Bless,
Mars

Hi there.. How is everyone tonight?? I am doing pretty good.. I have decided that I needed to blog about a couple more things, so please sit down, fasten your safety belts and please keep arms and legs inside at all times as this will be a wild post to ride on......

You see I know that when you blog you should not care who reads it or whatever and that you should not say something you don't want someone else to know or read and so everything I post on my blog is readable by whomever wants to read it. I tell it like it is and how I feel and that is just the way it is..  However it has been brought to my attention that there are a couple of people who willl remain nameless in my blog that seem to think that it is ok to read my blog and my friends blog www.homesteadblogger.com/gabbie427  gather bits and pieces of stories and things along with things that happen at different times in real life and throw it all on a rollercoaster and let it get all mingled and mangled then pull bits and pieces out and use them against me or my kids. Now they don't always state the truth and what truth they do state is how shall we say this but a bit clouded.. Say for instance they talk about certain things happening and then they leave off the fact that maybe it happened here while this or that was going on.. Seems to me that they just want to start trouble for me and my children.. First off let me just tell you that my children are my life and I am doing my best to teach them right from wrong, how to survive, be frugal, cook, clean, be respectful to others, put God first and be the person God created them to be.. I know that I am not perfect and yes I do mess up... Cough Cough Choke Choke.. Yes I admitted that I am not perfect, but I try to do right with and for my kids.. I do not allow people to put down and degrade my kids, be mean to them nor do I want them to put down their parents and I will step in and become a big old grouchy bear if you mess with my kids.. God has loaned me these 5 kids to raise for Him and I will be darned if I am going to let someone who has no idea nor cares to have an idea or does not know the love of God be mean, belittle or anything else that affects my childrens wellbeing...

I do not let my kids dress terrible.. We are not a dress only family nor do we do head coverings unless you wanna wear a hat, but have no problems with those who choose to live this life as God calls them to do, we go to Church, we cook and clean together and spend lots of time togehter.. My kids know my expectations and they know where I stand on the issuses at hand and I will beg your pardon to waltz into my kids lives and try to tell them different, call dfs on me because you just have a problem with me, talk about me and or my kids to anyone who will listen and spread rumors. You know what live is short. God is good and I am sure that you have better things to do than be a nose piece in mine or my kids lives.. I know that God has something better for you to do.. Please remove your nose and your hurtful ways from my kids and I.. We are on a roller coaster and we do not need you to throw us back on for another ride.. 

If you want to be loving, respectful, caring and can be honest and not try to hurt, disrespect and not want to cause trouble then you are welcome to be a part of my kids and I lives, but until then we are stepping off the roller coaster feel free to jump on and take a ride on the coaster my kids and I have been on and see if you aren't a bit dizzy when you get off from dealing with all the twists, turns and slowdowns we have dealt with.. Just remember it is safer to keep your arms and legs in at all times till the car comes to a stop at the end of the ride.

Please those who read blogs and just like to stir the trouble pot with others put your eyeballs  back on your own life and grow up.. Please quit trying to use my kids and quit trying to hurt their mom, you are only making them turn away from you . My kids love me and respect me and they are tired of the games they are made to play both those who should just love them and go on..

I would ask that any of you who are reading this post please say a prayer for my kids and I. Please pray that the calls to DFS for things done while they are with their dad's stop, please please  just pray that God would ZAP these people who are trying so hard to hurt me, but end up hurting my kids.. Please also pray that my kids might feel comfy going to their dads and not cal me crying to come get them because of the crud they have to sometimes put up with. I am not out for revenge or anything as I know that God is on mine and my kids side and what goes around comes around.. Thank you Jesus and Thank you all for your prayers.... God's wrath and judgement is going to beat anything I or my kids could ever do.. Until such time that these people quit trying to hurt us in anyway possible I will continue to pray for these people..

I am going to close this roller coaster ride with some Bible Verses...

Psalm 37

 1Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

 2For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

 3Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

 4Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

 5Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

 6And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

 7Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

 8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

 9For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

 10For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

 11But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

 12The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

 13The LORD shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.

 14The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

 15Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

 16A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

 17For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.

 18The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.

 19They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

 20But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

 21The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.

 22For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.

 23The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

 24Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

 25I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

 26He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

 27Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

 28For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

 29The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.

 30The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.

 31The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

 32The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.

 33The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

 34Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

 35I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

 36Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

 37Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.

 38But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.

 39But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

 40And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

THank you for reading this post.. Sorry for being so fired up and upset about this, but they are hurting my kids.....

God Bless

Mars........... Ok it is now safe to undo your safety belts and exit to the left please................

Good Morning.. I have been up and going hard and fast this morning.. Today is Joslyn and Lana's trip to our state capitol in Jefferson City so they had to be at school early. got them up and off and started a load of laundry. I have done dishes, laundry, trash, kids off to school, and I am getting ready to walk, take a shower, have quiet time and head off to work.

I just want to say that I do not know how some people do it. They seeem to be grumpy people all the time. You try to talk to some people and it is like talking to a tree and yet you know that they can and do talk. It is like hello at least me nice and have some manners about yourself. What is funny to me is these people who act like that towards us usually have no real good reason why they do it. I have found that some people act this way when you choose to be your own person and they want you to be a puppet on a string. Let me just say that I was once a puppet on a string and I am so much better off now, I used to have bad self esteem and I had a lady tell me the other day that I am so much better than I was a year ago.. Praise the Lord....

Ok well I really should be going.. I have rambled long enough..

God Bless,

brings a couple of thoughts to mind about our lives as Christians.. I have driven past and can look out my window and see where the snow is still untouched and in perfect condition. That is like us when we are first born. Clean sinless for the time being.

I can look out my window and see footprints in the snow which to me says well it is not as pure as it was at first, which to me signifies us as we get older and start to sin more.

Then in other places you can look and see the dirt and mud in the snow where it has been plowed or driven through and that represents us without Christ in our lives. He wants us to be clean and pure like the fresh fallen snow, but He knows that because of our sin nature we cannot be..

We are born innocent and then we grow and sin and then we come to God..

I also want to say to young people today that I think snow makes a cool analysis for staying pure till you are married. Think of it this way when God leads you and your mr/miss right do you want to give him/her a pure wonderful gift that God has given to you to share with that one person or would you rather give him/her a dirty unclean already been used gift like the snow on the side of the road that is all dirty and nasty?? I wish I had been taught more about all of this when I was younger, but I wasn't. I talk to my kids about this alot and pray that they make the choice to stay pure and clean for the ONE person God has for them.. It really is I believe the best and I applaud those who have done it the right way..

God Bless,

Mars

It is the sound of quietness.. This is the first weekend since September that my hubby and I have had a weekend alone with no kids. It is so quiet here today.. LOL It is really peaceful.. I love my kids and I miss them, but I am enjoying the quiet.. I have a few things to do around here this weekend and the weather is so going to change tonight and it is supposed to rain, sleet and snow tonight....

Well I do not have much to say at this time, but I wanted to let everyone know I was still around.. It has been a very busy week here a sick kids, my friend Tammy's brother passed away and so I tried to keep up with them, I had to take kids to Topeka and drop them off yesterday for a wedding and ballgames and Valentines day made this week a long hectic week.

I will be back in a bit

God Bless,

Mars

Good Saturday evening to everyone. How is your weekend going so far?? Mine is going pretty good so far. I can't believe it is almost Valentine's Day already.. Where has the first month and a half gone too??

Anyway I wanted to write a little blog about a sweet sweet little friend of my daughters.. I like to call her Lil Abner, however her name is Abigail Grace. She is the sweetest girl, well mannered and well dressed.. This little girl.. Ok well she is 10 really impresses me because her older brothers life with their dad and come to visit every other weekend and Abby likes to be at home with her brothers.. She will come here and play, but wants to be home shortly after they arrive. I think this is so sweet and commendable.. I know lots of other kids who could careless about each other so to have a 10year old girl want to be home with her family and especially her older brothers when they are here visiting instead of out with her friends.. I think that is awesome and I want to say WAY TO GO ABNER..

Her brothers are so fun too.. Abby is the only girl out of 5 kids.. She has 2 older brothers and 2 younger brothers.. So she is their princess and they are very protective of her..  This family is so kind and loving and well for some people they might make sick beccause they like being together, but I think in today's world it is commendable.. Go Miller/Jones family.. Tammy you have done a wonderful job with your kids, they are amazing.. Bill has done good also.. The kids are lucky to have the 2 of you as parents...

God Bless,

Why is it when someone comes and posts on their blog their thoughts and questions some think it is ok to just be plain old mean to them. First I think we need to step back and realize that we do not always know all of the details and that we should not judge one another. Doesn't the Bible say Judge not Lest ye be judged?? How many of us want to be judged the same way we tend to judge others especially when we have usually only gotten a tiny piece of the whole story..

I feel that as humans and especially women we tend to get caught up in the giving of our almighty sometimes well thought out, but most of the time not well thought out opinions like someone really cares about.. Ok so they might part of the time, but really the only thing that should matter to us is what God thinks.. However because we are humans and especially ladies we tend to get hurt and angry over opinions.. I know that I sometimes read something and I post whatever the first thing is that comes to mind. If someone is asking for prayer then let us pray and if someone asks for advice then give advice, but let us pray and watch our words so that the Lord may be Glorified in all things and that includes our blogs.

I for one get sad when someone gets their feelings hurt because of what people who are well intentioned might do that cause us to be upset. I know that I am sometimes overly sensitive and for that reason alone I know that I have to sometimes watch what I say and how I react because my perception is not always the right way... So when we are posting on our blogs or commenting others let us be king and considerate for either the people reading our blogs or for the one whom we are commenting as we do not know the struggles that person may be going through..

God Bless you all. Dearfriend I love your blog and admire you.. I am praying for you and your family and hope to see you posting again soon..

God Bless,

Mars

God Bless,

I must say that a few of you know me in real life and either know about this or will get a quick out of it.. My parents have taken to telling me that all I do is farm my kids out.. You see my oldest son will be 15 in August and he has always been poppa's right hand helper since he was little bitty.. My brother used to go to my grandparents every weekend and back then it was not big deal, however now that it is my son it sometimes becomes a bigger deal than needs to be. Ok so I have 4 other children who go to their dad's everyother weekend as per court order and then my husbands 3 children who go see their mother for a couple hours one time a week. Now I almost always have at least 3 and most of the time 8 kids with me and I know no one that really wants me to just dump all 8 off with them except maybe my sister in law if I just had to have a sitter. I stay at home with my children take them whereever they need to be when they need to be there and always have extra kids at my house, but it has come to my attention that I never have my children with me and I am always farming them out.. Well hello don't you think I would know if I had farmed them out?? I mean hello I don't think so and plus I just would not do that unless I just had too.. LOL So if you hear from afar that I farm  my kids out.. Don't believe it it is a bad rumor.. LOL Just ask Amy Jo Aka Gabbie427 and she will tell you I always have the kids with me..

Gotta run I have company.. My dear neighbor and friend Steph is here..

Talk to you later..

God Bless,
