Don't 'pank my bum!

"Don't 'pank my bum!" ... "Don't 'pank my bum!" -- were the 2-yr-old cries heard faintly coming from the back bedroom. So, of course I had to go see what was going on. Guilt was written all over Anaya's face.
Glancing down at the top of Elise's desk, I saw the reason for it: a pair of scissors and a nice chunk of blonde hair. Yep, one pigtail definitely had less hair than the other!

Thankfully, she only took chunks out of it, rather than cut it straight off. Looks like she has a knack for hairdressing. Hey, maybe she could thin my hair!

Unfortunately, not coffee grounds

I got out the blender the other day, set it on the counter, moved it over a bit, and noticed a few dark specks on the countertop where the blender had just been. So, standing on a chair, I decided to inspect the shelf where I had taken the blender down from, and discovered what you see in the picture. Nice!

I wish I could say somehow we spilled coffee grounds under the blender on the top shelf, but no, this is something else... and no, not nice! Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting!

Yes, the bottom part of the blender had become home to a cockroach, and this was the evidence of his apparently several-month stay. Yum.

Mmmm...Mmmm... think I might head off to go make a smoothie!

(On second thought, maybe I'll go fill up the bleach bottle instead! Ugghhh!)

Can you tell me the whole gospel message?

I love it when people ask questions like, "Why is Jesus the only way?", "Can people find their own path in life?", "What is the complete gospel?" -- it's a wide open door for sharing :-).

I (Amy) have been meeting for awhile with a Taiwanese friend on Friday mornings so that we can practice speaking English & Chinese.

Recently, as I have asked her to help me review lessons in the book I am currently studying, "Christian Vocabulary", these questions have come up.

Please pray with us that we will be able to clearly, simply and yet thoroughly continue to share the Good News, and that J. will come to know the love, peace, and hope we have in Christ! :-)
