There is a wonderful blogger bythe name of Maria.
Her blog is called
BUBBLEGUM AND DUCT TAPE.
Maria is beyond talented...she is
running over with ideas...and I might
humbly brag that the mayor of her town
follows her blog.
A couple months back Maria gave a
tutorial on how to make a miniature
book necklace.
You will find it here at
2011/04/miniature-book-pendant-tutorial_
27.html.
I was the blessed soul of one of her
beautiful, miniature book pendants.
Being the sweetie, she is, she said I could
choose any book I wanted.
She told me if I wanted, she would even
make me a Bible.
I chose the Bible...even though I have
failed the Lord so many times, I still try
to live my life according to His Holy Word.
Please look at the detailed stitching around
this miniature, tiny Bible and it has pages
inside, that if you write very small, you
can write your favorite scripture.
Maria, it is just beautiful.
You are awesome.
I loved looking at your recent pictures
of the rain from the train.
I love pictures of the different cities
skylines and yours are gorgeous.
And keep you in his loving arms.
My prayers continue to be with the
flood victims, the tornado victims and
those who have lost their loved ones.
I pray everyone that lives in these
flooding areas will be able, one day,
to raise their
house on stilts like the farmer and his son
did.
They say once you live a long the river
there is no other place to live.
I think I can believe that. When we
were coming home from a camp meeting,
many years ago,
we stopped to eat in Louisville,
Kentucky and had lunch at a restaurant
open to the river.
I felt like Tammy and wanted to find
her house boat on the river. I loved
watching the big boats go down the river...
it was awesome and comforting at the same
time.
Excuse me...I had a happy memory there
for a moment.
My prayers continue for every man, woman,
and child...battling cancer...THEY ARE HEROES.
We had a young man from our town,
Austin Box,
Star player on the University of Oklahoma
football team...
22 years old...
found dead at the home of a friend
in El Reno, Oklahoma.
I won't say what he died from because
the autopsy reports are not in...
His family is devastated.
The funeral is Thursday, May 26, 2011.
Please remember them in your prayers.
You are very special and I love it when
you stop by for a visit.
MANY HUGS
