Hosanna

I'm not a super-emotional person so when I get choked up during church I know its God touching my heart. Yesterday morning, I could barely sing the second verse of "Hosanna" by Hillsong.

I see a generation
Rising up to take its place
with selfless faith, with selfless faith

Because from where I sit in the auditorim, I can see that generation in the first three rows, singing their hearts out, with their hands raised to their King. God has put us in this amazing group of believers and surrounded our children with peers that love and serve him. It chokes me up, just thinking about what this generation is going to do for him. And I feel so very blessed to be able to watch and serve along side of them.

Bargains!

I'm on a Bargain Hunting High! I just bought 20 items for $9.12! So each item cost about 45 cents. Most of the items were part of Meijer's 10 for 10 (Get the 11th Free) Promo. Plus I used coupons that I printed off the internet.

Here's what I got:

10 boxes of Ronzoni pasta (Smart Taste, Heathy Harvest & Garden Delight)
2 boxes of Frosted Mini-Wheats cereal,
2 Betty Crocker Warm Delights (They were $1 and Meijer doubled my 50 cent coupon),
2 Chex Snack Mix, (They were $1 and Meijer doubled my 50 cent coupon),
1 box instant oatmeal,
1 box snack crackers,
2 Bottles of Pepsi Max ($1.00 each and used BOGO coupon)

Plus the register spit out a coupon for $4 off my next $75 order. I'll use that when I'm really stocking up.

The Gift of Prophesy

In the car today Max announced to Nate:

"Nate when I was the same age as you I ate a hot dog from there (pointing to a local restaurant) and puked!"

Nate tried to explain to Max that:

A. Max is younger than him;

B. The Story that Max was telling did actually happen to Nate a few months ago.

But Max was insistent that when he was the same age as Nate he ate a hot dog and threw up. I guess the only explanation is that Max has the gift of prophsey.
