Mondays Musings

🎶 Monday, Monday, so good to me🎶....Can't you just hear the "Mammas and the Pappa's" singing about now 😉

I hope you all had a blessed weekend. What did you do? I honestly cannot believe we are in August ALREADY! Just blows my mind how quickly June & July went!
I have asked you all to pray🙏 for rain right?? Well, this week is going to be down right unbearable! Just take a gander @ this weeks forecast! We were sooo excited this past weekend when we saw rain clouds but unfortunately they didn't produce one drop for us here in our town. 😢




Can you believe it??? It is really getting to a dangerous level because of the water rationing and consistent days over 100+. We were out and about yesterday (sunday) and saw heat/air companies business trucks out working on houses. Don't you know they are just swamped. Everyone's poor air conditioner has to be running non stop trying to keep our houses cool. Our weatherman was literally just speechless when he was giving the forecast. Bless his heart...don't you know they want to just put up a sign that says "Ditto" or "Same, just hotter than last week" Those poor guys or gals really have to let things slide right off their backs much of the time don't you think!?!?

This week I am thinking we will spend time inside, maybe have a movie marathon, stay in our jammies, and CHERISH these final 2 weeks before we are back to school .....Has anyone seen "The Kings Speech?" or maybe, "Diary of a WimpyKid?" I really want to see "Limitless" as well. I am so excited movie rentals are just $1 these days!! Thank goodness for Redbox! They have set a standard for all those corporate Movie Rental places haven't they :)



this week @ LifeChurch.tv we started a new series, titled "BOLD." It's gonna be sooo good! Here are a couple of thoughts:

**God gives ordinary people extraordinary boldness!** Peter, a doctor, and a man who denied Christ 3 times yet HE still accepted him even after he sooo messed up! Then Christ gave Peter a boldness, (Acts 4:13) baptizing him with the HOLY SPIRIT and Peter brought many to Christ, healed a lame man, preached in the Temple, and much more! Now I would say that is One Bold Man!


Thought for the day......."How AMAZED are people by my boldness for Christ?"

Happy Monday my friends! Love & Hugs to you all! ♥

Weekend Wrap up

I have to say the word of this week is HOT!!! The last day of July left us with 3 digits.....107 degrees! It is HOT here and this week calls for more of the same! It is going to be 100's everyday with most days calling for 104 or hotter with the heat index reaching well into 111 or higher! Our humidity just makes going outside to let the dogs go tinkle cause you to sweat! It.is.miserable!!!

We spent Saturday in the pool! It was just about the only place to be! Our friends went out of town again, so we were blessed to be able to go pool sit and boy oh boy did we take advantage! It was a divine intervention for sure!! Thank you Lord!

My son and I went running a few nights this week doing the Couch to 5K program and one night look what we ran up on?


Scared the bejeebers out of me :) We just did a blog post on our book blogs about our biggest phobia...The number one phobia from those who participated was snakes!! I don't like them but honestly frogs scare me more than these do! Silly huh! Luckily this guy is a good snake and won't harm you! If you are going to have a snake around this is the one you want!

Sunday we went to a new church and we all loved it! We loved the Pastor and saw some great friends....Praying the Lord continues to show us His will and if this is where HE wants us!

Tomorrow brings my sweet Rylee girl and this week will be fast and furious. I seriously can't believe Aug. is here! Only 16 days til school starts :( Breaks my heart!!!!



How was your weekend? Is school starting soon for you all?

Pray you have a blessed week! Love to you all!

Thankfulness ~ with a spin ;) HEATWAVE Edition

Sometimes, it is fun to put a new spin on thankfulness and Kmama hosts just the therapy needed for this ;0)


I have seen comments on Facebook, Blog, Twitter etc. about one thing just about EVERYWHERE.....THE HEAT!!


It is soooo HOT that I continually look as if I just stepped out of the shower! Thank you very much

Stepping outside makes it difficult to even breathe because of this heat! Thank you very much

Taking my grandbaby outside to swing (which is one of her favorite things in the world to do) finds me saying ~ "wait until it's not so hot sweetheart" ~ which NEVER comes ~ so we sweat and swing and then sweat some more!
Thank you very much

Going for a family walk is wonderful but returning demands everyone has to change clothes and/or shower because we are drenched in sweat! Thank you very much

On a serious note ~ Remember to drink lots of water in this heat! Dehydration is sooo easy in heat like this!

Happy Thursday and may you stay cool on this Hot Summer Day
