Beth Moore Simulcast

Beth Moore has written another book and this one is So Long Insecurity you've been a bad friend to us.  This teaching session was something new.

What was so awesome (I know the word gets overused, but it is the one that truly fits) about all of this, there were 300,000 women watching this at the same time in "real" time!  It was being simulcast in 869 locations all over including Canada.  Alaska had to get up VERY early to get to their viewing.  She is so full of energy and we sang, we laughed, we cried, and when it was over--I for one am ready for more.
Here we are, we didn't take our early morning walk, it was 31 degrees and too frost for my sensitive nose, so we got ready for our day instead.  We decided to stay all night rather than get up REALLY early to get to town.  Besides being a ranch wife, there were things that needed to be done since I was going anyway.  I got the air conditioner on the car checked.  Of course, it won't make that squealing sound for the men!!  The tires needed rotating too (so I can go some more!).  Bill's favorite watch needed a new band.  I got to have lunch with Dad and Bonnie and again at supper, so we caught up on our visiting.

Jen, Cari, and I took a short walk after lunch to catch up on life happenings.  Then I got pictures of our "favorites" before the afternoon session began.  Mary was a helper girl so was very busy!  Blessings abounded, I also won a door prize--a cute purple zippered bag that had shower gel, gum, a scrubby and a small candle. 

Beth does her teaching with Bible in hand.  It has some meat to it.  AND you just have to read the book...

Blondie!

After reading one of the blogs I follow, I thought I would put a quick one in this morning!  Cowboy decided two days ago that since it was wet outside that he would do some "plumbing" and he HATES to plumb, but he is a trooper and does it anyway!  When we first got married he had the plumbing under the kitchen sink propped up with a piece of wood.  He told me in no uncertain terms that "it worked didn't it, and there weren't any leaks."
 
Don't panic, we have since gotten that fixed many years ago. I had to tell that little story before I finished with the present story.

The bathtub is dripping from the cold water "part."  He bought washers in Miles City and thought he could remove some of the pipes and fix it PDQ.  He couldn't even get back to where he wanted.  His comment was, "They don't make them like they used to when you could work on them!"  (Sounds like the new pickups too!!)  So that left him with installing the new faucet for the kitchen sink.  I had removed ALL items from under the sink so he could crawl in, like Dagwood, but Cowboy has more ability I am sure!  He is tall and it is a pain to crawl in there.  It was my treadmill time (good thinking on my part), so I did not get in on any cussing, just a little "these wrenches, you never have the right one!"  When I came back in a hour he was about done other than for me to hold the faucet in place while he tightened "stuff."

But the point of my little story was, I had to use the "little girls' room" while he was plumbing in the kitchen. I told him, "Oh, honey, you must have done something right, the cold water has quit leaking in the bathtub."  He said, "Oh, my little blond wife, the water is turned off."  I consider myself intelligent, why oh why do I have blond moments...  And just as he said it, I said, "I know, I know, the water is turned off!"

I will tell you in another blog about how he started saying, "Oh, my little blond wife..."

Hope your Friday is fabulous!
