Last night Hubs and I watched the newer movie "The Help". While I won't go into detail or political whatever or even opinions... I will tell you I cried. Several times my throat lumped up and tears met the corners of my eyes. Sad, just very sad - the state of life sometimes.
- Parents refusing responsibility of their children
- Spouse abuse
- Broken and hypocritical relationships
- Racism
- Backward thinking
Just sad. And even more sad {tho not surprising}... not much has changed.
This morning my friend Londa posted a video on her blog - it's about 18 minutes or so, but, if you have the time - I encourage you to check it out. It's Pastor John Piper and his recollection of growing up in this similar time period with similar circumstances.
Click here to be directed to her blog. It's worth it. :)

Happy Homemaker Monday!
I just read on a friends FB page this quote, "I always start the weekend with such good intentions...". Right now I'm feeling that as I look around and realize just how "lived in" this house looks right now. :) Here's some happy homemaker Monday...
The Weather:: So, so, bizarre! Snowy and freezing yesterday and warmer rain today.
On my Reading Pile:: "Made to Crave", "Dancing with my father" & various Nook Books :) {We are ordering Timothy Kellers new marriage book this week!}
On my TV:: ugh. Currently....football. I'm writing this during Sunday Night Football.
On the menu this week:: --> we ended up eating fast food MUCH more then I would have liked during this busy week, so, still have some ingredients ready from last weeks menu!
Monday: Salsa Sloppy Joes & pasta salad
Tuesday: Cauliflower soup & biscuits
Wednesday: Leftovers
Thursday: Ham and Green beans
Friday: Chicken Pot Pie
Saturday: ?
Sunday: chicken Rice & broccoli
On my to-do list:: Gather up tax stuff & turn in, laundry, house in general needs HELP, would love to paint the bathroom this week.
What am I creating:: Still working on my mini-blanket, and possible spray painting some jars this week for some decor.
Looking around the house:: DIS-ASTER. But, looking at all these toys, books, and whatever else... we are blessed with abundance.
From the camera:: Today is Sanctity of Human Life Sunday - and this was our group of baby dedicators today. Hubs and I are in there, too! I'm the one who looks like I'm looking at the floor on the right side. Ha! But, what an amazing blessing to be a part of such a growing and baby - loving church!
Something fun to share:: Hubs got an Iphone. And... I've been loving playing the Fruit ninja. Anyone else have a small addiction to busting up some fruit kung fu style?! :)
On my prayer list:: Our van needs some work. I'm totally asking God to provide for this one! Lesson learned this week - we really need a new vacuum...and just this afternoon my Grandma emailed me and said a check was in the mail. Vacuum covered. Amazing! God supplies ALL our needs! :)
Bible verse, Devo:: Starting into Ephesians tomorrow! Any good study helps?
