Strings...

On the show Heroes, there is this part where Hiro takes a color of yarn for every person with "powers" and makes a time line of their life. A lot of the yarns cross and intersect and tangle together. Some of them hinge solely upon another...

I was thinking today how amazing it is that God could ever bring Dave and I together as husband and wife.
Keesha Knox went to USI. Her sister Kylee Knox was one of my bffs in high school. Kylee went to USI because her sister went there. I went to USI because Kylee went there (and it was away from Terrible Haute). God placed Allie Gwinn in my life at USI and  He brought me salvation. He also brought me to Faith Bible with Allie and plugged me in. He, as well, brought Matt White to USI, saved him through Caleb Patton, provided Matt a job at Tradehome Shoes... where Matt invited his manager, Dave Cannon to church with him... Dave happened to be sharing with guys in Newman dorms, where I just so happened to have chosen to be that semester. His friends randomly asked my friends out to lunch after Church one Sunday. Dave happened to have classes in the same building I worked in all week... All these fine little details that God works for our good. Isn't it wonderful? I am so thankful.

On a funnier note... Dave reminded me last night as we embarked on an intense game of Boggle [we don't mess around] that the last few times we played, he won. Well, pride cometh before the fall, and I won. It probably helped that I had 38 points in just one round! mmm... Boggle Champion!  Do we have any takers?

Charlie has also redeemed himself and caught two flies-- in the air-- in his mouth. Outstanding! I think there is a fly farm hidden somewhere in our house...they mysteriously appear... we probably kill 15 a day.  I call myself The Slayer.

Last night I tried a new recipe- Zesty Chicken Noodle Casserole... from a Weight Watcher cookbook. I was not impressed at all. The only flavor came from the random bites of onion. I also tried their recipe for Banana Cream Pie... Didn't do it. And awhile ago I tried something else...mmm...can't remember. Moral of the story: forget the Weight Watcher recipes. No good. But I keep chugging away and cooking like a good little wifey! Tomorrow we are trying maple glazed porkchops. Hope they taste delicious!

The other night we rented "How to Save a Life." Pretty good movie.. but not exactly Biblical. It had what I would call "wordly Christianity" for lack of a better term ... plenty of talk about God but nothing about Christ or the cross. Good idea, though. Suicide and cutting are just (unfortunately) a normal part of teenage life anymore within public schools without a doubt and there really needs to be a lot more awareness and help out there.

And Sunday we are officially becoming members at Faith Bible :)
