Monday Mania

I am so relieved that our CH&A unit is fixed!!  The man didn't show up until the middle of the day and it was plain miserable for us and our dog.  Praise God it is fixed!  Air never felt so good. ;)

These are the things we can take for granted. 

While I was waiting on the repairman to show up, I started on my group's Summer Bible study, Breaking Free by Beth Moore.  This is my second time to do this study but I am excited to be doing the study with  our small group.   Are you all going through a Bible study this Summer?

We are meeting in each others homes and I love that so much more than meeting at church in a classroom.  It's always a fun time when you get together with girlfriends and study God's Word. :-)


Tonight has been relaxing after the mania of the heat etc.... and we grilled out hamburgers. Let me pass this yummy product along to you just in case you haven't tried it.



This makes the best hamburgers!  I love all of his spices.  The chicken and steak rub are also very, very good. 


Now I am ready for dance mania...Dancing with the Stars!  Do you watch it? Who is your fav couple?   I like Max and Erin.



Time to get off here and watch the dancing but before I go let me share a verse I discovered during my quiet time:




In my devotional book Life Walk from Lifeway..we are reading Ezra and today was chapter six.

Zerubbabel and his countrymen were restoring or rebuilding the Temple of God.  Resistance came from their enemies and they tried to stop the rebuilding of the Temple.

Moving forward, God gave them favor by changing the heart of the king of Assyria and they were able to continue the restoration with the king's help.

They were so excited that they celebrated for 7 days.

It was verse 22 of this chapter that made me smile.   "God had plunged them into the sea of joy : he had changed the mind of the king of Assyria to back them in rebuilding the Temple of God, the God of  Israel.  

I don't know who needed to hear that but remember this, no matter what you are going through or facing, God can change other people's minds if he needs to in order to lavish you with His favor. God has the final say!

With that I pray each of you will be plunged into a sea of joy this week!
