WHERE IS MY MAMA'S BLOG......WHERE ARE YOU MAMA....I TRIED TO CALL YOU! Something is wrong with blogger. It aint acting right at all! Not posting right & my Mama's blog is missing! This is the 4th post I've tried this moring!!! What in the WORLD IS GOING ON!!!!! I NEED TO BLOG!!!!! I"M GETTING THE SHAKES!!! MAYBE I SHOULD GO TO THE BETTY FORD CLINIC!!!

I tried to make a post & it wouldn't go! Mama's blog is missing to! What the heck is going on with blogger!! Are we going to get viruses in our computers!

I hope everyone will be in Church today! I love Church! Last weekend our prayer coordinator handed out a 40 day intercessory prayer guide for church memebers to begin praying for our new pastor. We started this last Wednesday. Our pastor has been here about a month but his family was unable to move here with him until last week. Today is the family's first day at First Baptist Screven. It is a very exciting time for our church. Here is today's prayer for our pastor.

" Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth" 2 Tim. 2:15

. Pray for your pastor to spend much time in the Word, gaining wisdom and approval from God.

. Pray for his discernment to grow as he diligently applies himself to accurately handle the Word.

. Pray for him to be a teacher that church members will follow in also studying the Word of God.

It is unreal to me how well wrote this little prayer guide is. It is put out by the North American Mission Board. I encourage you to pray for your pastor daily too. It doesn't matter if your pastor is new or old, if you like him or you don't, or even if your church doesn't have one at this time. You cant go wrong praying for your pastor.

Just got back from another fishing trip at Lake Lochloosa in Florida. The wind was blowing pretty bad so our "keepers" were few. We had fun all the same. I did get some better pictures of the Bald Eagles this trip. I even got a couple descent shots of a nest and the brew. I'll show them later. I still have some good pictures from the last trip that I haven't posted yet. BUT I cant seem to get a picture of the white perch before they are cleaned. Danny had already put them in the fish scaler so you cant get an idea of how pretty the color really is on those fish.

So.....how's yalls weekend going?

"THE OLD GEEZER CLUB"
Ok so here's another one of my fishin stories. I love older folks and I hang out with them a good bit. Well I have a mess of fellas I go to church with that are all retired. I love them dearly. It was these fellas that got Danny & I to go fishin at Lake Lochloosa for the first time last year. Danny doesn't go to church with me so he had to learn these fellas through me. He loves them and they love Danny. Anyway....I call them "The Old Geezer Club". Now I know this doesnt sound very respectful but you would just have to know me & this bunch of fellas. They are good Christian men & I'm thankful to have to put up with them....wait I mean to know them! LOL! On with the story.....I was told by one of the members of the OGC that a couple fellas bought some walkie talkies and wanted to use them while out on the lake. Danny & I had fished hard all day & just didn't catch many so we thought we would find a member of the OGC to see what he had been catching. Now mind you, every member carries his own boat. Danny & I went across the lake & found these two OGC members sitting side by side in their own boats talking to each other on their walkie talkies!! I caught them with my camera! After picking on them..I found out they had not JUST ONE set of radios but THREE different sets of radios & THEY BOTH HAD PHONES!! Yeah I just about wet my pants! CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW??!!!

Last week was top notch for me! We spent 2 days fishing down at Lake Lochloosa. We would have spent 3 days fishing but a front came in and gave the fish lock-jaw! We trolled, which means we put cane poles out the boat & slowly moved thru the water. We did pretty good like that but got greedy & moved into shallower water to fish in the grass with reels. Well I've found out that my son can not go fishing with us any more. He thinks he is captain of the back of the boat. My husband is captain of the front.....guess what that gives me.....a little bit in the middle!! Try casting your reel without crossing someone else's line when standing in the middle of the boat!! Yeah right! Another interesting thing I learned.......dont miss a bite cause if you do your husband will quickly cast his line in the exact same spot & catch YOUR FISH!! HOWEVER.......Two can play that game...I caught some of his missed fish too! It really was fun. Did I tell you I left my glasses in the bottom of the lake somewhere!! I have another good story to tell about this trip. I'll save it for later on this week. I also will tell you about my bird hunting trip Saturday. I'm telling you I had a mighty fine week!!!

THEN EARLY IN THE MORNING ALL THE PEOPLE CAME TO HIM IN THE TEMPLE TO HEAR HIM. LUKE 21:38

SALMONELLA IN THE COTTON-PICKIN PEANUT BUTTER!!!!!


What the heck is goin on in the world when you cant even eat peanut butter without getting sick!! I very seldom watch the news but when I turned to it yesterday this was the story they were running. Peter Pan & Great Value with the lot number 2111 is being pulled due to reported cases of salmonella contamination and people becoming sick from it. This batch was made in Sylvester, Georgia. Well guess what I have in my pantry.......all 3 jars with lot number 2111! I have opened two of the jars & ate from them. Salmonella is pretty bad stuff yall! Now we haven't gotten sick but that doesnt mean I should keep eating from it. The news report said to throw it away. They gave an address where you could send the tops of the jars & get your money back. SALMONELLA IN THE COTTON-PICKIN PEANUT BUTTER.......IS THE WORLD COMING TO AN END?

Been fishin down at Lake Lochloosa in Florida the past couple days. We had a ball! Cought about 80-90 white perch. Here's what the lake looked like one of the afternoons we were coming in. Gotta go to work now.....I'll show you more later.

A NEW DAY!!
Danny & I went outside at daybreak. This is what we got to see. I love the mornings espcially at daybreak. Everything gets real still and then slowly the world starts to wake up. That is another reason why I like to go hunting. You get in your stand at dark and then get to hear the world wake up around you. Why in the world would ANYBODY want to sleep late and miss the best part of the day!!

The Red-bellied Woodpecker.......




Now my husband does not like a woodpecker!! I myself, like them. I like to look at the different ones we have here. I like to listen to them as their repeated pecking echos in the woods behind my house. Danny doesn't like them because they peck the fire out of his pecan trees....and well it is true, they do. Oh well!

Flora this one is for you. The birds have been very active today. A few minutes ago I counted 16 cardinals at the feeders. There is a really pretty yellow finch hanging out but he will not let me get his picture yet. This cardinal was landing on top of my out-door chimney/fireplace-thing waiting for his turn to raid the feeder.

Mama here's one of the moon just coming up here. It's behind the pecan trees right now. Maybe I can get a better one later on.

HOW MANY DO YOU SEE? I love watching birds out my window. I like how the cardinals bring life to winter with their bright red. I love the females too but sometimes they are hard to see. The yellow finches have just started to come to the feeders. They also bring life to winter with their happy yellow. Maybe I can get some pictures of them next.
