Okay, so I know Ms. Spears will post something regarding this, but I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to mention it as well. 

The most fascinating book on the market these days is The Christian Handbook by: Kristofer Skrade.  It has had some great reviews on amazon, one person said "Finally, someone has written a helpful guide to Christianity with a sense of joy and delight. The book has great content with excellent illustrations."  Another raved that "As a follower of Jesus for more than 35 years and a former pastor, I'm glad to have this book in my library."  With reviews like that how can you not  want to rush right out and order it. 

But wait there's more....here are just a few of the chapters you might want to take a moment to read:

 How to read the Bible

How to sing a Hymn **

How to get to know Your Pastor

How to survive an Old Testament Plague

How to Repent

How to Pack a Diaper Bag for Worship

What to take to a Pot-luck***

** NOTE this section informs you of the proper posture to take when singing a hymn vs. a praise song

*** PLEASE note this section is divided by region of the country...so for those who might be venturing elsewhere, now you are aware of what is acceptable pot-luck food in your area of town.

I encourage everyone to please examine your heart closely.  Do you really know what to take to your next church potluck??  If not, then I think this book is a must read for you!

AMAZING.....

This kid can jump rope while on a pogo stick.  I have trouble working a pogo stick in general, let alone doing it while jumping rope.  INCREDIBLE!!

Odd Things in Lindsay's Life... (buckle down it is kind of long...but well worth your read)

So today I was on my way to lunch, minding my own business pondering the weather and the meaning of life (as I so often do), as I entered the elevator on the seventh floor.  As I began my decent to the first floor I was a bit annoyed at the momentary pause on the fifth floor to pick up a fellow passenger. 

However, my momentary frustration at this unwanted riding companion was quickly wiped away at the state of my elevator guest.  For my guest had an interesting trait about her...she was wearing an Oven Mitt (please take note that it was a singular mitt)! It was not a printed mitt, just a plain yellowish/white colored mitt...but a mitt all the same.  A mitt that was used and a bit burned on the tip.

Now my mind quickly switched from the weather and meaning of life to this woman wearing one oven mitt.  Why the mitt, she seemed quite ordinary...very pleasant and chatty.  We discussed the carpet in the elevator, lunch and the weather on our trip the remaining four floors.  We continued outside together where she thanked me for the conversation and asked that I have a wonderful lunch.  I watched as she headed to her van, opened the door, climbed inside and pulled away...never removing this most peculiar mitt. 

I am left baffled and perplexed at the reason for the mitt...and have spent a large portion of the day (myself and my co-worker, with whom I have shared this story) pondering her need for such a mitt.  My co-worker believes she is a famous hand model...protecting herself from all harm.  But I am not convinced...why not something more attractive, such as a nice floral mitt or at least an unused one?? 

So I pose this question to all my readers....why the mitt?

Okay, so I was going to post some pictures from my Family bowling time...however the computer won't let me.  Apparently I have reached my photo limit for the month.  I am terribly sorry that I couldn't show you all the great pictures I took.  Perhaps I post when my xanga lets me.....
