Happy Birthday to MY Man
Happy Birthday to THE best husband and father on the planet. It is so nice to not be traveling on T's birthday. So we have steak and potatoes planned for the grill. Strawberry cake AND strawberry ice cream. I won't be partaking of that. But what a guy wants for his birthday, he gets. Just too much strawberry for me. I love you!!!!!

Love One Another
We have been in an incredible series at church called Jesus Freak. Today Pastor Mike talked about loving one another, loving EVERYBODY!!! We must............
1. Live in harmony with one another (John 13:34-35), (I Peter 1:22)
2. Accept one another (I Corinthians 1:10), (I Peter 3:8) Wow, this is huge isn't it??!!! How many times do we judge someone based on their background, how they look, where they live, mistakes they have made, the list could go on and on.
3. Submit to one another (Ephesians 5:21) "Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ." So many times we want to be right or have our way.
4. Serve one another (Galatians 5:13), (I Peter 4:9) This is huge too!!! In fact our life group just got finished completely refurbishing an elderly person's bathroom. She didn't think it would actually get done. In fact she told our life group leader that he could come out an take a look but other people had done the same and never followed through. Now it's complete!!! A new floor (she could have fallen through that thing), a new shower (she couldn't get in the tub), a new, higher toilet. I wonder what must be going through her mind.
5. Encourage one another (Hebrews 10:24-25), (Hebrews 3;13)......encourage one another daily
6. Forgive one another (Ephesians 4:32), (Colossians 3:13)...I think we all have had forgiveness and bitterness issues on our life. And to get over that bitterness, pray for the person, bless them (think of something good to say), and find something good to do for that person.
Wow, what an incredible sermon!!!

My Star Spangled Babies
We had a fun-filled day yesterday. Troutman had their annual Independence Day parade. This is the first time since before Braxton that we have been home around the 4th. And before that we were always working the fireworks booth in Charleston. The first several floats were vets from all the wars. I easily get emotional at things like that so I was very teary eyed. I love the 4th of July and everything it stands for. What a sacrifice the men and women of this country and their families have made. America can't thank you enough. Tug and Nor enjoyed the parade and got tons of candy. We missed the fireworks but we will see some on the 4th for sure. Congratulations to the Kuhns
Last night were able to attend one of the most beautiful weddings we have been to in a long time. Our friends April and Greg got married!!! The food was fabulous and the wedding cake was the best tasting I think I have ever had. And I have been to several weddings. Have fun on your cruise!!!

Chick-ill-lay
I never really thought Nor-Nor was addicted to Chick-ill-lay aka Chick-fil-a until the trip to PA. She asked for it everyday. And of course there are no Chick-fil-a's in PA, at least not within 100 miles of where we were. We are home now and had a bunch of errands to run. I decided to take Tug and Nor to Chick-ill-lay.
Nor-Nor immediately saw Mr. Cow when we went in. Ran up to him, gave him a big hug and he even picked her up. Later he came by and she said, "I lub (love) you." Well, we know the way to Nor's heart is chicken I guess. Another thing you cannot get in PA is Mexican. So we are off to the cheese dip store (El Cerro) this evening for a little pre-birthday celebration for T.
