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."

Meet Scarlett & Bubba!

That's right, we have new fish! Shortly after we got the new black moor goldfish it spread a parasite called the Super Ick and both of our fish died. (Kate was right, it was a good thing I didn't name the black moor Edward.) So Anthony got on the phone, called Pet Smart and they agreed to let us come and exchange the dead fish for something new. After much thought we decided that we wanted more goldfish. Me and the girls picked the silver goldfish and named her Scarlett because she has a red circle on her head only, most of the other silver gold fish had red in more than one spot. Anthony picked out the orange gold fish and decided on naming it Bubba after himself! So here they are! Scarlett & Bubba!
