So, I was "in on a surprise" for my best friend and her gradutaion gift. Last night, my husband, along with m best friend Tanya, and her husband "went for a drive". We were really picking up a puppy to surprise Tanya with for a graduation gift. We get there, and there are two dogs from her to choose from. She picks the one she likes, and then my husband says "happy mothers day, we are taking the other one".

So, now Tanya and I both have puppies as a gift, and it's funny to watch the men because I think they are more excited about them. I have never had a dog in my life, and am scared for my kitties, but I have to say, I love both dogs....

Now, for the baseball obession in us... The names are Fenway, and Tessie. Both in relation to the Boston Red Sox

this came from Larry Crab's book the P.A.P.A prayer, you can read more on him and his ministry here,  http://www.newwayministries.org/

PRESENT yourself to God authentically, be real with Him as you are with no one else

ATTEND to how you are thinking of God, how you picture Him as you're talking to Him

PURGE yourself of your relational faults by taking an inventory of how you put your intrests  ahead oh His and getting rid of anything that blocks your intimacy with Him

APPROACH God just as you are, tuning in to your passion to know Him and to honor Him
