I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Summer Fun!

Yesterday, Daddy went and bought the girls a new swimming pool! After we blew it up, which took FOREVER, we took it outside and filled it up. WOW!! The girls had so much fun. They splashed and played for hours. Thanks Daddy!!

Wow, Daddy nice purchase! I'll bet they had so much fun, that you will probably have a hard time keeping them out of it this summer.
