Lent

Today is the first day of Lent. I had to try to think of something to give up for Lent this year. Last year, I gave up pop for the 40 days. At the beginning of this year, I gave up drinking any kind of pop. Why? I thought it would help with losing weight and my general "healthiness". So, what do I give up this year for Lent? I decided to give up laziness. Yep, you got it! Laziness! I am now "making" myself workout in some form or fashion for 30 minutes a day. (If you are reading this and wondering if I have done my 30 minutes today, the answer is yes).

Lent is a great time to give up something that you love or like a lot and reflect on God everytime you "crave" that something. When I want a pop, for example, that is the time I pray and reflect on what He has given me in my life. I challenge you all to "give up" something, if it's for Lent or not. It's worth it!

Basketball is over....on to Baseball!!

Stephen informed us today that he has played his last basketball game today and it's on to BASEBALL!!! That means it's going to get warmer, right?

Fire Department Fundraiser

I haven't posted in a while, but wanted to share that the Ft. Cobb Fire Department is hosting a Chili Supper on Friday, March 13, 2009 at the Fort Cobb Community Building on Main Street. It will be from 5-7:30 p.m. All of the chili will be prepared by the firefighters and desserts will be donated by the Our Way Quilt ladies and other clubs. Also, we are selling tickets for a quilt drawing we will have the same night! The quilt is patriotic, with flags and the constitution on the back. It was hand quilted by the Our Way Quilt ladies and donated to the fire department to use as a fundraiser. If you would like to buy chances for the quilt, they are 1 for $1.00 or 6 for $5.00. We are always needing medical supplies, fire equipment, ect., so all donations are appreciated!!
