I'd Rather Have Jesus More than Anything

"Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." Hebrews 13:5

This verse reminds me of one of my favorite old-time hymns:

I’d Rather Have Jesus – The Lyrics
I’d rather have Jesus than silver or gold;
I’d rather be His than have riches untold;
I’d rather have Jesus than houses or lands,
I’d rather be led by His nail pierced hand.

Than to be a king of a vast domain or be held in sin’s dread sway,
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.

I’d rather have Jesus than men’s applause;
I’d rather be faithful to His dear cause;
I’d rather have Jesus than world-wide fame,
I’d rather be true to His holy name.

He’s fairer than lilies of rarest bloom;
He’s sweeter than honey from out of the comb;
He’s all that my hungering spirit needs,
I’d rather have Jesus and let Him lead.

Grandpa M.L. and His Little Brother Robbie Neal

Here is a sweet picture of my Grandpa M.L. with his little brother, Robbie Neal. Grandpa was born in 1914 and this picture was taken around 1931. Grandpa made this wagon for his little brother. And here is a more recent picture of Grandpa and me.

Yummy Muffins...You've Got to Try Them!

Ok. Well, I am having problems again with trying to get a picture on here. If I can get Paul to help me, then later I will post the picture of the muffins.
Y'all have got to try Hodgson Mill Apple Cinnamon Muffins. It comes in a muffin mix box...they are truly the best muffins I've ever had and they are so healthy for you. First of all, they are loaded with flaxseed, second they are Gluten-Free (I can't tolerate gluten, so this is great!), and thirdly they are made with real apples. I made these muffins this past Sunday and Paul LOVED them (of course I did, too). Usually on Sunday if I eat a good breakfast (Oatmeal, Gluten-Free waffels, or grits, Almond Rice toast and turkey bacon) then during the church service I am starving. Well, this time I ate the apple cinnamon muffins and literally I was full until we got home from church. Unbelievable! Seriously, go to your local grocery store and see if you can find these muffins. Hodgson Mill is the brand and usually they are with the cake/muffin mixes/flour. If not, they might be with the health food...and unfortunately, if they aren't there, then your local health food store will more than likely carry it. If you love muffins, go try these tasty little treats. You'll love them (at least I hope you will).

I love these two pictures

Everybody Has a Bad Hair Day

Bunni's hair stood straight up and needed no hair spray to do so. One of her eyes looks a "copper" color...it always does this with the flash of cameras.

Bunni's Lamb Toy

I love this picture of Paul and Bunni!

Vacation time is around the corner

It won't be long until Paul and I will be seeing this beautiful gateway arch in St. Louis! We are leaving on our big trip in two weeks! We'll be traveling through Tennessee, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and then we'll be in Colorado. (I think this is right...Paul has the whole trip mapped out already!!!) I'm very excited to see all these wonderful places. This will be our first vacation that we've ever taken together...we'll be traveling to such awesome places!
