I am only posting this because I continue to have a pretty good number of daily hits.  I won't show or discuss anything 'personal'.  A Hoosier Family has reached it's end.  Consider this a tribute to my message, and 'heart'.  I hope it speaks to you!

This will most likely be my next to last post at A Hoosier Family.  (This blog ends on Dec.31, 2008)  If you would like to follow me, please send me an email or comment here.  As I was blog and YouTube surfing, I came across a YouTube video at Erik's blog that I found VERY interesting. Some background, before you watch this video:  This is Penn from the group Penn and Teller and he is a

If the title wasn't enough, let me warn you again... This post may contain Too Much Information! A couple of weeks ago I was feeling sick, and was laying around watching some television. (Very rare thing for me to do.)  I ended up watching a doctor speak about the importance of taking a good multivitamin.  This doctor said that they took a group of people who ate very healthy, and only 7% of

Last night was Boom's 3rd Grade Christmas Program.  It was a packed house, even though the weather was bad.  It was so bad that our school ended up having a 2hr delay this morning. Here is a video of his grade's portion of the program. He is such a handsome little boy. REMINDER:  In case you are a "feed reader"... I will no longer be posting or updating at this blog at the

Christmas is in 10 days.  Christmas shopping is done, for everyone except my husband.  I've been on him for a couple of weeks saying "you need to give me some ideas."  This morning he approached me with a small piece of paper, with tattered edges at the top from being pulled out from a spiral notebook and "Christmas List" written across the top.   Tim hands it to me without a word, and walks

It's the Christmas Season.  Time for giving.  Here are some gifts for you... Plinko, Putt-Putt, Tetris, and some 'Amazing' Holiday Lights displays.  Enjoy. Okay, you know the game PLINKO on the Price is Right.  Who wouldn't want to play that game?  Well, I came across this game, very similar to Plinko.  It's fun.   I also found myself playing a few games of online putt-putt tonight.  I got

Facebook Pieces of Flair is an application on facebook, that allows people to create, share, and collect digital buttons.  I have created quite a few, and perhaps you've seen them at facebook or here at my blog.  (Check the flair tab below header.)The last few days I've noticed a couple of my flair creations now have a "pending" status.  This means they are no longer showing up in the directory.

We all have those 'things', 'people', 'places' we are dedicated to, but how dedicated are you to God, His Ways and His house? Dedication is defined as "self-sacrificing devotion".  Devotion is "a religious fervor" or "the fact or state of being ardently dedicated and loyal."  (Ardently is being characterized by warmth of feeling typically expressed in eager zealous support or activity.)  I want

Today marks my 3rd Anniversary being cancer free!  Dec. 5, 2005 is the day I had surgery to remove the tumors and cancer.As more time gets between me and the cancer it begins to fade a bit, but not much.  Almost every single day I think about it in some fashion, and of course it becomes emphasized around this time of year.I'm healthy and very thankful the Lord has healed me!  The "price" I had to

I was blog surfing this morning, and came across a really cool, impressive video clip on a blog called "Creative Worship."  This video is a little over two-minutes, and well worth your time to watch!

I was blog surfing the Assembly of God Blogs network yesterday.  One blog I visited was "The Call of God". Michael had up an interesting post yesterday that quickly caught my attention.  He said "I had my blog analyzed at Typealyzer.com to see what my personality is when I'm writing. I am normally an ISTJ, but apparently that is different when I write."This caught my attention, because I too am

I'd love to see them.)Ours was great.  Well all but the last 36 hours of it, for me.  All the sudden I got sick Saturday night.  Finally 24 hours later, I'm beginning to feel like I can be out of bed and try my hand at eating something. I must say

Our youngest Son, "Boom" has a great interest in the Civil War.  We went to the library last week, and he got three Civil War books.  He loves learning about the Civil War.  He and his Daddy spent a great deal Sunday afternoon, and then Monday night finishing up the long Civil War movie, "Gods and Generals".Tonight, Tim was sitting in our living room, browsing through one of Boom's library books.

I woke up this morning with a riddle to tell Tim, Son, and Daughter.  It took them a while, but we'll chalk it up to being first thing in the morning!  See if you can figure it out.  If you think you've got it, comment or email.  And yes, the riddle is what happened in real-life.  I'm not that clever, to pull it out of thin air.Last night I woke up many times.  Two times I woke up and saw the

I'll admit it, I'm not a big "news" fan.  I however tend to have the local ABC station on in the mornings a little bit to catch the weather, etc.  Friday morning GMA (Good Morning America) was on and Barbara Walters was on promoting that evenings 20/20 on "Thomas Beatie" who was a "pregnant man" and announcing "he" was pregnant, again.  Ms. Walters always wants to cram down people's throats
