in His hands

What if...

What if you thought that you knew everything?

What if you thought you were smarter than most people? 

What if you weren't listening? 

What if you were missing the point? 

What if you didn't take the time? 

What if you did it all yourself?

What if you wanted the glory?

What if you felt un-needed?

What if you there was another idea besides yours?

What if you ignore?

What if you don't follow?

What if you only lead?

What if everyone disappears?

Are you ready?

When I think of John 3:16, I am reminded that God so loved us ALL that he sacrificed his son, Jesus Christ, to cover our sins, so that ANYONE who believed in Him might not die for eternity, but have life forever and ever with God.

Precious Baby (to the tune of Precious Memories)

Precious baby ~ oh,  I love you

Sent from heaven into my life

How I love it, when I'm with you

You bring joy into my life!

Precious baby ~ oh, I love you

How your laugh tugs at my heart

Playing 'nosey' beautiful Adelyn

Precious memories will unfold

 

Precious baby ~ Jesus loves you

He brings joy into your soul

Till you grow in him to know

The days of love & fun...

Back in 1946 my mother, Lorena Etter (before she married & became a Dayton), went with her friend, Margaret, to Lubbock to the South Plains Music Company.  This store advertised, 'Everything In Music'  and was located at 1214 Broadway with a phone number of 7051.  These two giggly girls created Capital records that have made it through all these 50+ years.  I listened to them many years ago.  They are a fun thing to have experienced as a daughter because my mother was in love with my dad and the records were made for him.  I plan to record them in the near future if there is anything left on them!

and we complain...

Here is a picture of a school classroom from 1917.  I wonder how their scores were?  Were they exemplary?  How were they graded?  Check plus, check minus?  A, A+, A-?  I bet they had a citizenship grade.  I bet they got a paddle if they misbehaved.  Looks like there might be a few in the class that might cause a little trouble.  Might one of those be my grandfather, Hugh Robert Etter, age 10?  Isn't this the cutest picture?
