My Family

Hey Y’all, This is my family minus me. Tabitha (One of a kind and Mine) Emily (orderly, smart, spiritually minded) Sarah (bubbly, great imagination, heart for people) TimmyYale (TY – wild, boy) Katie (our baby, bright eyed ready for life) I will try to catch a video of TY spelling his name. Yale, no more babysitting. You must have bribed him with ice cream. He is spelling it Y.T. I correct him, but still the Yale is being put first. How did you brainwash him? ”God, watch over puggles. Give him a fun time of learning about you in his church classes. Place a cheerful feeling in him each time he enters your house. Draw him to you continually throughout his life.” TMarkD

We Grow our Own

Mammaw wanted to come over before she returned to Michigan and transplant some plants the girls had planted at her trailer last month. They are green and will give fruit or vegetables. I did not listen to what kind they are. But she said water them once a day. I did Tuesday, Wednesday, and Today. She also planted a hand full of tomato seeds and the two pits from her half eaten peach on the drive over. Now I will need someone to show me how to can when it is harvest time. Our evangelist said something about tree by living water, so here goes... Will-i-am "May God gift you with roots deep in the scriptures. I pray your strength to stand strong for Christ will out do a mighty Oak. I pray for you my newest Brother." Some plant, some water, and some rock at Guitar Hero. Then there is me. No I will not video myself for you to boo me off too. TMarkD

Katie Kinz

Katie Kinz Got Cash from talent show. Yep, That is what we call her. Katie Bha-ghattie was not fair. We call Sarah Bhgara, so it is too close. Plus we both slip and call her Sarah often. Sarah was the last baby girl we held. Thanks for posting a comment that let me know I can share family photos and stories. I thought it was just to debate Politics, Weather, and Religion. Katie was the only one who read my third blog Easter morning to find out the true Christian celebrate Easter Morning by wearing green. I thought we looked good in this photo together. When I first knew we were getting a new kid on the block, I asked God - any day but Sept 11th. I just did not want the comments that come with it. But God has shown me that this kid is not going to fit any of my pre-conceived notions. I think you can see a sparkle in my eye. It is Katie! Many think it is the great work of the photographer that has caught "catch lights". If the term is new to you, ask Tabitha about it. I listen often to elements (not Adobe) about photography that I know nothing about. Maybe she is getting back at me for giving her personal Sports center Sunday NFL highlights for the past 15 years. Low-low-low-low (just picture Ellen dancing) "Jesus give the kid a good immune system to fight off that which his sister keeps getting. Protect his childhood. Save his soul at a early age, that he may be an example to his younger siblings." TMarkD.

Romans 14:Live

O.K. Are you ready for some “Bible Study”. I want my life to be Marked with Christ. My Blog title conveys this much. So I was ready to post that “NO” I do not have a tattoo (MARKING), but if I were to get one, what do you think of this one? Don’t worry I would not be able to take the pain. It would sound like this “Friends” episode -PHOEBE: Wanna see mine, wanna see mine? MONICA: Yes. RACHEL: What? You didn't get one. PHOEBE: OK, well then what is this? [shows her bare shoulder] RICHARD: What're we looking at? That blue freckle? PHOEBE: OK, that's my tattoo. RACHEL: That is not a tattoo, that is a nothing. I finally got her back in the chair, bairly touched her with a needle, she jumped up screaming, and that was it. PHOEBE: OK, hi. For your information this is exactly what I wanted. This is a tattoo of the earth as seen from a great distance. It's the way my mother sees me from heaven. I googled “tattoo Christ” in order to find some nice gifs. When I found this one, I went to the author’s blog. He had some scripture there. I wanted to make sure it was not taking out on content, so I began a short Study. Check out what I have and lead me to victory if I am at fault in my reading or thinking. Romans 14:13-22. [13] Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. [14] I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. [15] But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. [16] Let not then your good be evil spoken of: [17] For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. [18] For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. [19] Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. [20] For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. [21] It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. [22] Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. So where is the line drawn? What if I say it is wrong to buy on Sunday? Do you have to give up your freedom because I am the weaker Christian? Am I wrong in thinking: I should be sensitive to those whose faith may be harmed by my actions, but I should not forgo liberties in Christ just to satisfy the selfish motives of those who are trying to force opinions as doctrine? What is the difference (biblically) between convictions and doctrine? Blonging in Florida: (praying for myself today) God help me understand your Word as I read it. Let me think about your Words through the day. Remove Satan’s attempts to hide your truth from me.” TMarkD

Reunion Food ?

Hey Readers, This made me thing of the food plans for the reunion. What is the word on Cheboygan folks visiting our reunion? What night would they be there? What night is the talent show.

Tab and I won:) WestBranchPopStar: ”Jes, I pray you have a great day. God give Jes power to point others to you through her actions. “ TMarkD

Who is Who !

Gotta Go see this movie! I was on the floor, sticky dried coke and popcorn, but I was on the floor laughing. A person is a person no matter how small. This was Ty's first full length theater trip. TenSC-daddy, a blessing prayer for you today. "May God lead in you right. May He direct evil to follow paths that lead away from you. May the love he gives you overflow to your family." TMarkD
