Seminar

.
Rob and I had a great time at Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott's marriage seminar. I am just checking out their website that has over 200 little snid-bit videos to watch, some funny, some serious. We are on the lookout for a couple of their books; hoping to find them used and discounted.

I am interesting in reading these two: "Love the Life You Live" and "The Love List"

Rob might like these: "Proverbs For Couples" and "Love Talk" and "Becoming Soul Mates"

Marriage

Rob and I are going to a marriage seminar this weekend, a one day event.

Please pray that we both come away different and new, with a clear direction for our marriage.

Nick was going potty before bed last night and he knows how to stand. So, his big bouncy ball is next to the toilet for some reason and it catches his eye during the process.

Nick: "Oh, my ball is in the bathroom with me! How did it get there?"

Mom: "I really don't know, Nick. Please go potty."

Nick: "Oh, okay. Can I pee on it, please?"

Mom: "No, Nick. We only pee IN the potty, but thanks for asking so nicely!"

Nick: "We only pee IN the potty?"

Mom: "Yep. Not in our pants, not on the bed, not on the bouncy ball. Only in the potty."

Nick: "Oh."

April Quote

"So here's what you are missing -- marketing is not the same as promotion and neither of them as the same as sales. Marketing is strategic, promotion is tactical, and sales are... well sales. Its on the "marketing" end where your argument falters. Marketing is all about creating new markets not just exploiting existing ones,
In short selling people stuff they never knew they wanted. Its about creating desire for a product within a market niche.

The problem is very few people here, or anywhere like here, actually market. They promote. Promotion is about standing on the street corner yelling your name into the darkness and hoping you get someone to pay attention. For what we do its often the wrong approach entirely."

Moving

We're moving to Brentwood. It's not the best of places but far from the worst! The manager of the place seems pretty sweet and we are looking forward to starting fresh.

Keep us in your prayers during this stressful time of moving and transition. Thanks.

EBAY Listings

Check out Rob's and my two listings on ebay!

Storm Trooper

R2-D2

I've had these since I was 7 or so. I had a lot of the star wars characters, but they are long gone. In fact, (this is sad) I bit of Luke Skywalker's head at some point, and I think Princess Leah's feet. Oh, well...

Still Crazy

...Crazy Love..
It's a book...
You should read it...
It's changing my life: my thinking, my actions, my prayers.

Actually, everything we SHOULD have learned through Mission Year, but had a hard time processing.

I read half way through the book and put it down. I could not get passed admitting that I have been a lukewarm Christian and that Christ will spit lukewarm Christians out of his mouth. Ouch!! So, I am not that anymore. I am wearing my faith on my sleeves. I do not want my neighbors to find out LATER that I am a Christian. They should know now! (Though i don't know any of them right now anyway.)

So, I finally picked up the book and have been reading again. I am also listening to the Bible on CD. It's fabulous, except the demon possessed people that sound creepy, so i don't listen when it's dark out! I want to quote the whole book right here, but, you know, copy right laws.

Facebook

It's official! Well, it was the moment I signed on and found 2 long lost friends, plus all the current ones and then some...

I AM ADDICTED TO FACEBOOK.

I don't think there is a cure, but that is okay with me for now. When I'm all caught up with everyone, than I can keep up and it won't be so bad... Right?...
