One Heart Beat Away..................The most important message you could ever read.

Beep......Beep......Beep...
The sound of a heart monitor somewhere in the distance comes into focus as
you slowly return to consciousness. Your sides hurt and you can't feel your legs.
As you wonder where you are, you hear muffled voices that sound like doctors.
Beep.....Beep.....Beep
the heart monitor continues beeping, leting the doctors know that you're alive... at least for the moment. You vaguely recall what happened... you were driving around a curve when out of nowhere came the flash of headlights headed directly toward you. You remember screaming, and the piercing crunch of metal, and then ... nothing. You can't remember a thing since then.

Now you're wondering if you'll ever make it out. The heart monitor suddenly speeds up --Beep...Beep....Beep

You hear the doctors rushing around barking orders. You feel frightened and wonder
whats happening. You try to open your eyes to look around, but it's no use. You're paralyzed there in your hospital bed and can't do anything about it. You start to think that this may be IT! You start to panic you begin to wonder whats next? Is there a heaven? Is there a hell? Have you done enough good to get to heaven? Your life flashes before uyour eyes. What about all those lies you've told? If there's a God, will he just forget about them? And what about those items you've stolen? they weren't big things, but it still makes you a thief, right? What if God even knows your thought life? What about all those times you've looked with lust, and used His name as a Curse word? Will god hold you accountable? Your heart is beating faster Beep......beep.Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep..........
One last beat. Little did you know you were One Heartbeat Away form passing into eternity...


Every second, two people die. What if this is YOUR second?

Emma learned to ride with out training wheels today... man this is so fun. Nikki helped teach her and she had fun.


Well we signed all the paperwork today for name changes on the girls.... So Determan's they will be.

It was hard to get anything done to day with all the excitement. They gave us there case history and of course nothing there was nothing that we didnt already know. Thank you Lord for bringing my girls home.

Have a great week.

All in a days work.

Well we have had a busy week. Ty helping rake and Faith has big hopes of some day working the lawn mower. In school this week we are learning about paleontology and Geology and how they find fossils and carefully preserve them and to see different rock layers. It is neat that God has all his handy work for us to admire. Most of all rock formations were cause buy Noahs flood. It is truly fascinating. We have found a few fossils and one that looks like a tooth but John is not convinced. lol These here are our bunnies. We are getting them good and fat.... Look now because they go to butcher next week. I hope they taste as sweet as they look. We are now Rabbit farmers. We hope to get some lion heads soon.. This is one of the largest meat producing bread. They are very lean meat and healthy for you. Rabbit used to be one of the biggest parts of our diets when the men still hunted our food for us. So do not think it is wired. You have just been domesticated. lol God made meat for man to eat...... So bona'patiet!

Joseph is a hoot.... He loves to show off his talents. lol

Just waiting on the 15th.

It is so hard for us to wait.,...... On the 15th is when the dhs worker comes out to give us the rest of the stuff. We are so excited.... and also August 21st will be one year since I got the girls back. Man... reflecting on that it was a whirl wind... I was so nervous about getting the girls back I broke in to hives from head to toe.... lol The first couple of days was so hard.... I remember sitting in the floor crying. And look at us now..... We can do any thing that a person with 4 kids can do just takes more planning and effort... but wow is it worth it.... Thank you God for helping me go on when I just could not do it any more. Thanks to the Best Husband in the world for putting me and the children first. Thanks to a great family that supports us in our decisions to have a large family and encourage us and love these little girls like they have always been apart of us.... They will officialy be Determan's soon.... PRAISE THE LORD.

A busy 4th of July weekend.

First off Praise the Lord for our garden.... He is blessing us abundently....
