Okay, I could not stop with 7 quirky things about myself. I must confess a few others.
8. When I sleep, I have to stick at least one foot out from the covers.
9. I don't like to pull the cotton out from the aspirin bottle. It is creepy. I do have sensory issues.
10. I love pens. I cannot go into a store without looking at the pen aisle.
Please do not hold these quirky things against me. That is what makes me unique. I will update more as I think of them.
I am a believer that everyone in this world has a purpose. Each of my kiddos are so different but have great purpose in this world. I read this inspirational thought today and it has much truth in it. It is the ABC's of a Purposeful Life:
Always put God first in your life.
Be a true friend and you will have many friends.
Count and thank God for your many blessings daily.
Discipline yourself. Decide to make your life count.
Edify and encourage others consistently.
Follow great leaders and then become one.
Give liberally and joyfully of your time, talents and means.
Have an attitude of gratitude.
Invert any negatives thrown your way. Turn them into positives.
Journey through life one step and one day at a time.
Keep written goals set ahead. Make specific plans to accomplish them.
Love and forgive everybody.
Maximize your strengths and minimize your weaknesses.
Never, never, never give up!
Practice patience. Promote peace.
Quit bad habits by replacing them with good habits.
Read God's Word and other profitable material every chance you get.
Share the Gospel whenever and wherever possible.
Take time to appreciate everything and everyone God has given you.
Use your God given common sense.
Visualize your dreams and stretch to reach for them.
Watch, listen and pray without ceasing.
Xamine your motives on a regular basis.
Yield to the Holy Spirit when He prompts you.
Zoom in on God's real purpose for your life.

Ranger Game
Last night we went to the Ranger game. They went into extra innings. The game was not over until 11:05. That is way past my time to be home. I would not have minded being out so late, if they had won. We had great seats and I always enjoy the games, as Ken takes pictures of the players at bat. I sometimes wonder if he knows what the score is. He probably took 300 pictures. I just enjoy watching people. And I often wonder what these people do and wonder what their lives are about.
We spent the weekend with Colin in Marshall. Sarah and Jeff were leading their youth in a Disciple Weekend. So, on Saturday, Ken and Colin and I went to Jefferson and did some shopping and looking at the old, beautiful homes. That is a fun place to go. I enjoy going to East Texas since both of my daughters live there. Erin lives in a group home in Longview and is doing great. And Sarah lives about 30 minutes down the road in Marshall. I am looking for fun things to do when we are there. I always want to see the sights and activities that are there.
Hope y'all have a blessed day. Blog to you later.
