Excerpt: The Pursuit of God, The Human Thirst for the Divine, A.W. Tozer

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, The Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wondered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen

A Great Find.....

Tim and I went out today to visit a man who visited the church last week, however we didn't find him home. We decided that since I kinda messed up our thrift store shopping on Thursday (remember our rather lengthy trip to Petersburg, VA for lunch.....yeah, that trip!) that we would hit a few today on our way back home from visitation. And our last stop was the new Goodwill that opened last summer. And look what I found for the girls (and boys) to play with when they come to visit! A Barbie Doll Hotel! Go ahead and guess how much it cost me! I have recently seen smaller houses in the thrift stores for $30 and $40! YIKES! There is NO way I would pay that much for it! NOT used! So, have you made your guess? Go ahead and think about it before I tell you........that I only paid $6! That is correct! $6! Now, granted it is not in perfect shape, there are a couple little breaks, but it still folds together nicely and has plenty of furniture to start out with! And as you can see in the second picture, I have plenty of dolls for both girls and boys to play with! I only have one of the 4 Barbies sitting on the bed and I was fortunate enough to find a Ken the last time. And also a super hero, Spiderman! Who happens to be sitting on the roof in the 2nd picture, lol! Yes, Ken is in the tub! I can't wait for the kids to get to play with me......I mean with the house and the dolls! :) If you click on the pictures you will get a bigger and better view of the toy! I set Spiderman up to look like he was talking to Barbie. I think she is trying to get him to come down off of the roof! :) What?!! I still have an imagination! :)
