Addy's Attic

So it was awesome last night. And then there was something I had never seen before. Like I thought I understood about the refreshing fire of Holy Spirit. I've studied a little about what that means. But there were like all the executive leaders of the church and the Hogan's that lined up on both sides, and then everyone who wanted too went through to be prayed for. It was a very powerful moment. My husband went through with my son and I had gone through twice, because I thought, well I'll carry in my daughter just to be prayed for. I was so nervous the first time, and since was near the front, was one of the first through. WHOOT, just pumped now though.

My husband told me last night when we got home his knees didn't hurt anymore. Like the ligaments in his knees didn't grow with the the rest of him, so they hurt all of the time. And he told me afterwards he started feeling a tingling in his knees and again when I touched them when I got home. And he said they didn't hurt anymore. That is pretty amazing.

Anyhow, I am just praising God this morning. Pastor is going to follow up on some of the verses that he had talked about last night. But just thankful that he goes to all of these huge mega churches and chose our smaller church to come to and speak. God really moves and uses him in reaching people for Christ.

If it gets all deep Ill move this Convo somewhere else for you, Addy. But that is my good news. 👏

I don't like the prosperity gospel. 12 years ago, my son was in jail, a small jail in a small town, up on charges that could've put him away for a long time. While there, he attended a gospel meeting put on by some lady.
She talked with him, prayed with him, was obviously real with him because he can spot a fake a mile away, gave him some of her books, and left him with an impression that helped him turn away from the only life he'd ever known.
One of the books was titled, "Battlefield Of The Mind."

When I was in Teen Challenge, my advocate made me read Battlefield of the Mind several times. LOL. Scripture really is powerful to defeating lies of the enemy.

Dear Norman,

Thank you so much for watching Robert for me while I take my little break and get-away.

I have left you my contact number in case of an emergency... but I don't have a phone so please don't use it. I have no idea who it belongs to.

Robert's bedtime is 7 pm... He loves to get "tucked in " but not too much as he hates the blanket covering his face. He also likes bed time stories... and songs... so feel free to sing to him. His favorite book is The Very Hungry Caterpillar. He might try to get you to read it to him several times but please... no more than 3 times.

He can have a bed time snack... 3 fish crackers... and 2 grapes.

Absolutely NO pop.... He will try to trick you by saying I let him... but NOPE... NO pop.

For breakfast... he likes a coffee and blueberry pancakes... but you know that already cuz I told you.... EASY on the syrup... He is a bit of a sugar pig.

He's allowed in the back yard... but please don't forget to put his leash on him... He has been known to slither under the fence.

If you're going to take him for a walk.... NO stopping at the store for candy... He often pretends he can't walk and it's always when he is at the corner store.

Anyways.... thanks once again... and have a lovely week-end.

Love, Addy

I almost gave him a second pop...he was so hyper after the first one! I know what you said, but he insisted that I misunderstood you, that you would never deny him his favorite treat, and that it was mean of me to even consider that you'd be like that. So I did what seemed to me to be the best solution. I put him in the drawer.
 
I'd go for a walk, but those pesky dogs keep peeing on me!

My Dear Norman.... Thank you from the bottom of my heart for watching little Robert for me...
He is safe and sound... I found him hanging from my kitchen fan... He likes to go round and round... but only on
slow speed.
I asked him if he had a pop and at first he said NOPE... but then he giggled and said YEP.
He said you had a WONDERFUL time.... and that you are a good walker.

I have very bad news Norman... tragic news... I know you get a lot of JOY from watching me get ALL EXCITED every time I SLEW one of my puzzles.... I spent over 3 weeks working on this puzzle only to discover that the pieces were
cut wrong... I have never seen anything like it... I was SO upset that I threw the entire thing in the GARBAGE...

I am thinking of writing to the Prime Minister of Canada... about the lack of quality control in this generation.

However... Please don't be concerned about me... I will be ok... I will just save my puzzle dance for the next one.
 
Dear Norman ...
I have decided that you should maybe send me a sympathy card with flowers because I'm a little bit more upset than I want to admit about the puzzle.

I have no clue... It's not your normal puzzle... as in... not one that belonged to any group that the store usually sells... I knew from the price that the puzzle was old... I have no clue what was wrong with it... I was filling in the rest of the green and it was in the last 6-8 pieces.... I can't even explain what went wrong...
It's all in the garbage...and I tore up the box... LOL
 
Good morning Dear Norman...
This is the day the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it.

I woke up a new creation.... LOL.... I decided I needed to forgive that nasty puzzle for being wrong... after all... I did get the last word in as I stuffed all those pieces "violently" in the trash.
I have three puzzles that are brand new... and now I will decide which one I will begin...the count down is underway for the GRAND EVENT of my very special Christmas puzzle that I shall begin on December 1st... therefore I have to decide if I have time to do one last 1000 piece one before this time. I am quite confident that I can sneak one more in.

Anyways... I hope you had a good sleep... You should be waking up soon... so...I made coffee.. Help yourself.
Robert is sleeping in this morning... It seems like all that fresh air in the drawer you STUCK him in wore him out.

I am excited to see what happens on that Revival thread.... I had to laugh at your comment about having your surf board ready.... the word picture I got in my head is of a tree stump with big eyes riding the waves and scaring all the humans away... HAHAHA.... I know... my imagination can sometimes get the better of me... but none the less... I did come to your defence in my head.

Happy Saturday Norman.... It's laundry day and I might head out to Shoppers Drug Mart later.
 
Lol Good morning. Addy! It is indeed the day that the Lord has made!
Happy rest day to you, too!
 
Ok... so.... Norman ... I just noticed this thread is at 12 pages already....OH my goodness... time sure flies when one is having fun.

I thought I would share my new puzzle with you.... as well as the process... There is indeed a process... which I am certain you will appreciate.

So... here is a BAD picture of the puzzle I will be doing next. Sorry... It's the only one I could find.

Step 1. Pick a puzzle.
Step 2. Stare at the puzzle box for 24 hours. This is very important as it helps me to BOND with it.
Step 3. Touch the puzzle box... sometimes I pet the box... but that is just me... LOL
Step 4. Open the puzzle box.
Step 5. Stare at the puzzle pieces in the bag that comes inside the puzzle box.
Step 6. Empty the puzzle pieces from the bag onto a large surface.
Step 7. Sort and separate the border pieces.
Step 8. Sort the pieces according to colour.
Step 9. Stare at the laid out puzzle pieces.
Step 10. Begin the SLEWING process.

I'm sure this information will give you a NEW respect for the puzzle building process. I saved the best step for last.

Step 11. CELEBRATE the SLEWAGE of the puzzle. I know this is the part you like the best...

I'm so happy I have you to share my joys with.... YOU are a good friend Norman. :biggrin
