Okay…so I don’t actually live on a farm.  But there is one behind my house.  That counts right?

Anyway I’m finding Fall is especially gorgeous on the farm.

I know…I know… all the girls love Dirty Dancing.

Well I do too…I just happen to love Roadhouse more.

RIP Mr. Swayze

you’ve always been the coolest

So I had this BRIGHT Idea that I would grow something….

Didn’t seem to matter WHAT when I was having this real life “FARMVILLE” epiphany.

(why yes…I am a Facebook addict…thanks for noticing

I guess I was envisioning BLT sandwiches in the summer with a tall glass of ice tea.

I really thought I’d get 2 maybe 3 tomatoes before I forgot to water the plant and it shrivelled up and died…

Instead I’ve gotten approximently 5 MILLION tomatoes.

I don’t even like tomatoes that much. (and I’m liking them less and less everyday!)  They are taking over! Seriously tomatoes shouldn’t be messed with.  Let’s not forget…THEY_ATTACK!!!

Everyday I pass this…

I’ve affectionately named it the “You’re going to Hell Mobile”

File this under

I Can’t believe they actually make this…

T.D. Jakes Christmas wrapping paper.

p.s. you can find this at Walmart next to the Disney Princess wrapping paper…

Every now and then you find that song that seems to hit you right where you live… and you can’t get it out of your head.

This one is mine…

The band is Need to Breath. (and this is the first and only song of theirs I’ve heard….but I’ll be checking out their other stuff for sure…I like these guys…and I’m not big on the CCM scene…they seem different though)

If you need me…I’ll be sitting here hitting play repeatedly while I’m working…

If there is one thing I know it’s the Roman numeral four looks like this IV…

I know this because in 5Th grade I had the meanest Ohio History teacher that embarrassed me in front of my entire class for making it wrong on a paper outline… (the paper was about Mawmee Indian tribe …and she never wore matching  shoes… one black and one blue… she couldn’t really see her feet all that well…so I’m assuming that why she clashed and maybe why she was so grouchy.)

So looking at the clock in the lobby someone pointed out …well…number four was wrong…

(the shock and horror)

a quick look over my shoulder…no 5th grade teacher…everything was good…

But you know me…I had to google it.

Here’s the Straight Dope….

But it looks like know one knows why for sure…

I’m not really sure how it’s possible when you have a blog about nothing to get bloggers block…but I like to prove that all things are possible!

So today is Wednesday… and I’m not sure how it snuck up so fast!  I’ve been so busy lately my head has been spinning. 

I’ll be in the church office most my day.  I’m not sure how I got tricked into another job…I guess I’m not nearly as smart as I think I am.

I do plan to bail out a little early to meet the ladies at Ginza. There is just something about Japanese. I think I’m addicted.  (I haven’t been in a month…so maybe not that addicted!)

Tonight at Church the Down by the Wayside Choir will be at church raising money and collecting coats and blankets for their Wayside mission in Louisville, Ky. 

This is one of the Highlights of the year at the Church….or at least it is to me…

This is homeless shelter that goes above and beyond.  Not only do they allow people to come and be cared for they seek out the homeless and bring them in to care for them. (especially when the weather is bad)   They have many important ministries within Wayside Mission itself…but the best I think is they offer a 1 year no charge recovery program.  Wayside isn’t a quick fix ministry, but they help people get better and stay better.

I love being able to support this ministry.

The Down By the Wayside Choir is made up of recovery clients.

Here is a short.. (poor Quality   ) clip from last year.

You brought me from a Mighty Long Way…

Can’t we all sing that one….

I’m really excited they are coming tonight!
