Favorite Quote

"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 a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.

I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.

I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.

I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

My Artist

Maddie loves to draw and color pictures. She is really good at it too. Here are some of her recent GEMS! I can't get enough of her pictures. I should make wallpaper out of all of them. Like a collage.

These next 3 pictures I stole from her mini princess notebook a year ago. She drew these at church one Sunday last Christmas. I love how Steve is in all of them. She sure loves her daddy.

This picture she drew while we were visiting Steve in Kalispell one weekend last year and she pretended to write a journal entry. She told me the scribbles say, "I love Kalispell Montana and seeing my daddy."
