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

Here's a GROSS little song for you (and I have no idea why it came to mind while I was fixing this sausage this morning......could it have anything to do with all of the grease??!!)

Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts
Mutilated monkey meat
Hairy pickled piggy feet
French fried eyeballs floating in some kerosene
And me without a spoon.

Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts
Scab sandwich, puss on top
Vulture vomit, camel snot
Deep dish boogers soaking in a bowl of fat
And me without a spoon.

Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts
Parrot eyeballs dipped in glue
Petrified porpoise puss
Flaming ear wax bobbing in a bowl of barf
And me without a spoon.

Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts
Dessicated dinosaur dung
Percolated pelican poop
Tortoise turd balls with the little flies inside
And me without a spoon.

I remembered, "greasy, grimey gopher guts cooked in kerosene" is about all of the lyrics I could come up with from this song that the kids used to sing at camp, I believe. So, out of curiosity I looked the song up to see what the lyrics were, to my disgust! What is it about songs like this that kids like???!!! Probably just because it is gross and there is no way any of it could be true! Anyway, enough of that!

This is a quick page I used made by Katie Mann from her "William" kit and found as a free download from the June Digitals Newsletter found HERE for download. There are eight (8) free designer gifts for you to download from the newsletter.

Well, I got behind again! One of these days I'll be back on schedule! These two layouts were made with my kit, "On Butterfly Wings." I changed the name from "Butterflies Are Free."

I know, I know! I'm behind again! So I decided to catch up (through yesterday, lol) by posting all of the "late posts" right here. But, before I get into explaining each of them, I will tell you about the kit and the templates I used. Since it is June, I have another CT assignment at Digitals. Heather Watson is her name and Digital Elements is her fame! LOL! Please click on her name to go to her store at Digitals. She has lots of interesting items to help you create fantastic pages!! You can click on the kit name to go to the kit I used, "Raspberry Lemonade." And, you can click on each layout to find the template set in her store that I used to create these pages. My explanation of each page is listed below the page.

Saturday, June 6th. It was perfect timing for everyone on our arrival at the house last night. Liz and Brad were pulling into the drive way just as we pulled in. We were glad, because we had given her our house keys and if we arrived before them, well, we would have had to wait! We actually arrived about an hour earlier than we anticipated! So, the house was a flurry of activity this morning. The kids got their baths last night, but the rest of us took ours this morning. We had visitation starting at 10:30 and Liz and Brad and the kids were on their way to the beach by about 10:00. They are sitting in my lap while I clean up my e-mail.

Friday, June 5th. We got up, showered, dressed and ate and headed to the Pastor's Fellowship meeting at 10:00 a.m. First stop was to pick up Anthony. Before we left, Hannah and Ryan got to pretend to put on mamaw's make up. What fun! When today is over, we will all meet back at our house in NC. Anthony will be with us for the week while Liz and her family go to the beach. They will stop at our house tonight, the half way mark, basically, and get a night of rest before continuing their trip. Our oldest daughter, Jessica's son, Michael is with Liz for the week at the beach.

Thursday, June 4th, we headed to WV. Our mission: the monthly Pastor's Fellowship meeting at Glade Creek in Summersville. That is tomorrow. Today, we are headed to our daughter's house. I will keep the kids occupied while Liz packs the camper for their trip to the beach. While I kept the kids busy, DH visited one of the older couples and one of the shut-ins from the church he pastored before moving to NC last year. Then he visited his blind friend, Anthony, to help him get his computer updates, etc. Anthony will be going with us to the Pastor's Fellowship tomorrow and then go with us to NC to spend the week with us.

Here is a good statement that my DH put up on our church sign. How appropriate it is, too! Christians have to be on guard every second of every day because the devil is as a roaring lion roaming about looking for someone to devour! He isn't concerned about the lost sinners. He is out to get the saved sinners! And, ultimately, it is God he is after! If he can get God's children to sin, it looks bad on God! That is his goal, to make a mockery of God and His kingdom! That is why it is so important for us Christians to submit ourselves to God as the Authority in our lives so we will have His power available to us to resist the devil!

The elements in this page gives you another sneak peek at the kit I am working on, Butterflies Are Free.

Today I worked on another bulletin board in the fellowship hall. I made this one so that I could leave it up for a couple of months (or longer, lol!). Read the journaling on the page to find out what it is all about. I believe that if you are going to make a bulletin board, you need to be able to learn something from it! So, that was my whole goal for this one.

Oh, btw, this page is another sneak peek of my new kit I am working on, "Butterflies Are Free." Hope you like what you have seen so far!

WOW! It is June already! Where has this year gone?! Today's page is a bit different. After I wrapped my hair in a towel this morning, I thought, I wonder how this hair wrapping got started? So, I asked Ask.com but didn't really find anything. But, I did see that there were instructions on how to wrap your hair on wikihow.com! I thought that was pretty interesting in a funny sort of way! Who would have thot that you need step by step instructions on how to wrap your wet hair in a towel, LOL! Well, anyway, enough of that!

I want to tell you about the kit I made the page with. Pretty bright, huh? Well, this is a sneak peek of a new kit I am working on called, "Butterflies Are Free." I just love butterflies! They are just so beautiful and so delicate. One of God's amazing creations! Another amazing thing about butterflies is how they die as a caterpillar and are reborn as a butterfly! This is the perfect picture of the sinner who is born again and becomes a Christian. A beautiful picture!

OK, so be patient while I finish up my kit! I'll post a link to the download(s) once I get it finished! I can't wait for you (and me) to see the finished product, LOL!

Gone Fishing Quick Page FREEBIES!

OK, let's change up the pace a bit. I am pleased to offer you a couple of FREEBIES today! As some of you know, I am a CT member of the design team at Digital Scrapbook Pages. Each month I am assigned a designer and I work with their kits in creating my digital scrapbook pages (most of them you see right here) throughout the month. And besides posting the pages here and in my gallery at Digitals, I post them at three other places as a means of advertisement for the kits.

I said all of that to say this. Last month I CT'd for designer, Christine Smith. The last kit of hers that I was privileged to play with was "Gone Fishing." Since I have a son that fishes, I decided this would be the perfect kit to create some pages with. And while I was at it, I just made the pages into quick pages. And I sent them to Christine and told her if she wanted she could offer them as freebies (more advertisement for her fantastic kit!)! And, as you can see, she agreed! Now, I don't know how long she will keep the 4Shared links active as FREEBIES, so you better click on the previews below so you can get them NOW while the FREEBIE offer stands!

Christine also has created two quick pages and they are on sale RIGHT NOW for $0.99!!! You can find them HERE!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the freebies! I'll be back later to post my regular Project 365 page for today!
