The Lil Angel’s Christmas Play & Happy New Year

I just realized that I never did get a chance to blog about lil one’s Christmas play … It was very cool .It was really quite the production for a childrens Christmas play.They had three months of practice if that tells you anything.They all did a great job although I was quite partial to one lil angel in particular Here are a few pics of the little one ….

Here she is playing cards with her favorite lil angel buddy between acts.We cropped the other little girl out of the picture since we do not know her parents to get permission to post her.

Here is lil one in the group pic ..I so wish I could post the whole pic of all of them .They were so adorable but I will not do that without the parents permission so here is one that I do have permission to post …she was the only one of them with the praying hands…She made without a doubt the prettiest angel

Well I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and I pray you will have a very blessed New Year !!!!……………

Chocolate bribes :-)

Man, I have learned this week that the power of chocolate is very great. Much greater than I ever imagined..lol I found that at work I can use it to get what I want ..lol from management and fellow associates.So needless to say I will keep chocolate in full supply in my office candy box.It is like a drug to some of these people.Some of them come in my office and get some from the box all day long ..It is a wonder some are even able to fit through the door after a days work ..lol I also have found it is the MEN that are the worse ones. I guess most men are not as worried about thier figure as women are..lol I am starting to have some thoughts that maybe the candy companies inject the stuff with highly addictive narcotics..lol I have even met people that are allergic to the stuff but couldn’t put it down ..lol Like breaking out into hives was worth the few seconds of chocolaty bliss.Do I have any extreme chocolate fans as readers?Tell me your thoughts or experiences…I would love to hear them.

A variety of Christian music ….

Well we have been on a search for some Christian rock bands for Guppy the last few days …
We listen to the local Christian radio station ..it is mainly contemporary ,which I like personally ..I like all types actually, but I could listen to it alot more then him I think ..He is wanting some that is a little harder rock ..We got some good suggestions from some of his readers and have also found some of our own

He found some online christian radio stations called : Christianrock.net ,Christianhardrock.net, and Christian-hiphop.net….
The one he is listening to is the hardrock one of course..lol It is actually pretty cool .We have found a few of the harder rock bands now …..
Disciple,Demon Hunter,and Skillet are just a few …..Flyleaf seems to have some good listening potential as well.
Anyone that likes Christian music and likes to listen to tunes while blogging ..I recomend trying one of these …
I will go enjoy my jars of clay and casting crowns and stuff ..lol I also had a friend give me a cd of a band named Tree 63 which I recomend as well ….
Anyone know of any more good bands that are not really top 40 stuff?

WOW!!!

It seems like this Christmas came and went in a flash. I was so busy with everything that I didn’t even get to enjoy my new blog skin ..lol I hope you all did I hope each and every one of you had a wonderful Christmas.I had an awesome one ..Despite the fact that I miss my family terribly and can not be with them during the holidays ..It was still a great Christmas.My preacher said something that really hit me on Christmas Eve..He said if Christmas is all about the family for you ..then you are almost without fail going to be disappointed.That is so true..If Christ is not your sole focus for the Christmas season then you are setting your self up for hurt or disappointment.If he is ..then you will have a great Christmas regardless of your situation…I think that is a very awesome realization.

Well I hope you are all recovering from the hectic season well….I have decided since I did not get to enjoy my skin hardly at all …I will keep it up atleast until New Years …I will be visiting you all soon…

The Legend of the Candy Cane

A candymaker in Indiana wanted to make a candy that would be a witness, so he made the Christmas Candy Cane. He incorporated several symbols from the birth, ministry, and death of Jesus Christ.

He began with a stick of pure white, hard candy. White to symbolize the Virgin Birth and the sinless nature of Jesus, and hard to symbolize the Solid Rock, the foundation of the Church, and firmness of the promises of God.

The candymaker made the candy in the form of a “J” to represent the precious name of Jesus, who came to earth as our Savior. It could also represent the staff of the “Good Shepherd” with which He reaches down into the ditches of the world to lift out the fallen lambs who, like all sheep, have gone astray.

Thinking that the candy was somewhat plain, the candymaker stained it with red stripes. He used three small stripes to show the stripes of the scourging Jesus received by which we are healed. The large red stripe was for the blood shed by Christ on the cross so that we could have the promise of eternal life.

Unfortunately, the candy became known as a Candy Cane — a meaningless decoration seen at Christmas time. But the meaning is still there for those who “have eyes to see and ears to hear.” Every time you see a Candy Cane, remember the Wonder of Jesus and His Great Love that came down at Christmas, and that His Love remains the ultimate and dominant force in the universe today
