TGIF ♥ Is your car a Racist?

Besides being a Captain on the Fire Department, My Brother owns and operates a Tint Business. He has been soo very successful and early this year he actually hired a friend (Devin) to help him keep up with all the business he was getting. Alot of the time, the guys are in the shop tinting cars while other times they are out and about doing commercial jobs. On this day however, they were in the shop working on a Ford Edge and decided they would take advantage of the cars "Voice Prompt" and listen to the radio of their choice.

Devin who is Vietnamese decides he will "Instruct" the car and what station they would like to listen to. For some odd reason the car WILL NOT register his commands but then as you will see, My brother ever so calmly directs the car and viola' it works. This happens yet again & again & again LOLOLOL.....Poor Devin! Listen to what she tells him when He says "Go back" Oh my!!! we have laughed and laughed!! Hope you will too!

Happy Friday my Friends and remember to visit KIM for More Friday funnies


Laugh at yourself first before anyone else can.

Baby It's Cold Outside

I Hope everyone had a good weekend! We sure did! It has been RIDICULOUSLY cold here with temps in the teens and wind chills even lower than that!! On Saturday we went and did a College Campus Tour and the WIND was BRUTAL!! (OK, I know some of you are SNOWED UNDER, so I will quit complaining!) I can just feel the excitement in Jenna as she looks towards her future. Wasn't it just yesterday I was bringing that sweet baby home from the hospital?

I have been able to sign up & be accepted for a couple of MyBlogSparks and am sooo excited about the prize packages! I will be posting the info. in the week ahead! You will have to come and see the commercials we have been making!!! You can see our silly side ;)

Just one more week of school and then it is CHRISTMAS BREAK!! WOOHOO :) This week will be full of finals for the kids and for me it means finalizing everything so that when they are out, we can focus on all things CHRISTMAS


This weekend will be our Rylees 2nd Birthday! Holy Smokes! I am thinking the title of this post should read "Where has the time gone?" My Baby Brother turns 40 this Friday! Man....HE'S OLD!!! ;) If you were wondering ~ No, we aren't doing anything special for him! No, I am not planning ANYTHING for him AT ALL! Shhh, don't tell him ok!

Well, I hope you all have a blessed Monday and week ahead! Remember to share the Gift of who you are with those around you as
JESUS shines in you! Love you ALL!

Spiritual Sundays- those who are suffering

Each week Charlotte and Ginger host this amazing blog. It blesses me to read others posts and to see the Heart of God in so many! Please go visit here

A few weeks ago my friend Sandy who also participates in this blog sent me a package of goodies that I won in her blogaversary. One of those gifts was a devotional book titled "31 Days of Prayer." Today I would like to share one of those prayers as I felt the Lord nudging me to do so this week as I read many posts this week of those who are in some really difficult situations and are hurting. They need a touch from the Lord! One I just want to share because she is such a Dear friend and I love her so much. Mary from Pile of Smiles has asked for prayer. Please join me in lifting her up to the LORD! I know the Lord will do amazing things when we join together for her and many others who need HIM! One other I would like to ask for is my brother Tony. I won't go into details but the Lord knows exactly what he needs! Thank you so much for lifting these up to Throne Room....with great expectations!


Now, back to the prayer :)
"Pray for those who are suffering"

Father, I rejoice in You as the FAther of deep empathies, who comforts and encourages us. I need this so often, and so do millions of others in Your family and outside. How little I really feel the wrenching sorrows and hopelessness of people as YOU do. Stir my heart , Lord. In new ways make me ~ and all YOUR children ~ channels of Your love and compassion, spending ourselves in both prayer and action for those who suffer.

Lord, help those who are suffering. Again and again meet their needs ~ physical, financial, emotional, spiritual. Through their pain or loss or trouble, make them aware of how much they need YOU. Then draw them to YOU as their Savior and Shepherd ~ and their Lord. Comfort them in their anguish, their pain, their depression, their despair. Deliver them.

I pray especially for Your people who are going through intense persecution, torture, imprisonment. Help them and their families to lean hard on YOU, and give them supernatural strength. Protect them, encourage them, and uphold them. Provide for their every need. Make YOur Presence unspeakably real to them.

Give you joy to those who suffer, Put a new song of praise in their mouth, so that many will hear what You've done and put their trust in YOU.

May you all have a blessed weekend my dear friends
