I have heard of this happening to others, but I never dreamed that it would happen to me.  It couldn’t happen to me!  I’m not that kind of person!  But it did!  It happened to me!

Let me explain.  About three months ago, I began to smell an “odd” smell every time I turned on the heater in my car.  I was sure that the motor was burning up, or I broke a fan belt, or something “mechanical”.  I finally decided to take it to Frank, our handy-dandy car mechanic.  He is really good.  He knows everything about cars!  My husband, Paul, just got off the phone from talking to Frank.  He has found out the “mechanical” reason for the bad smell.  I have mice living in my heater!  Evidently they set up house a few months ago after dissing my garage.  So I am off to Walmart to get some D-Con!

Bye-bye little critters!  It’s just a good thing little Mickey didn’t decide to run up my leg while I was driving!  That would be a really interesting blog!

I love Easter!  Everything about Easter speaks hope into our lives!  The very reason we celebrate Easter is because of the supreme sacrifice that Christ gave for our sins, for our lives!   This morning, my husband preached an awesome Easter message!  It really ministered to me and many others!  You could feel God’s presence in all that we did!   

                                          This afternoon, I had the privilege of having three pastors (all single and 26) at our home for dinner.  Our son, Nick, a pastor that he works with, Andy Lehmann, and our Youth Pastor, Brian Algeo all had Easter dinner with us.  They were so much fun!  And afterwards, I had an Easter egg hunt for them in the backyard!  It was so funny watching 3 “adults” looking for eggs!  They searched for about 15 minutes, trying to think the way I do.  They were trying to figure out where I would hide the eggs!  (I know there is a sermon in there somewhere!)  Anyway, in the end, Andy found the most – and he won the prize, a gift card to Eat ‘N Park!    

(BTW, how many of you “clicked” on the names above?  I haven’t quite figured out how to link other blogs to mine.  I just thought it would be fun to make it look like I did!)

My daughter, Natasha, has been home this week on Spring Break from Central Bible College in Springfield, Missouri.  We have had soooo much fun with water battles (in the house), snow ball battles (in and out of the house), shopping (yea!), and climbing a tree!  This is Tasha in one of the best tree-climbing trees ever!  It reminded me of a song I learned (many years ago from Sue Duffield at Youth Camp).  The words go something like this: 

Jesus gets me down.

Jesus gets me down.

When Satan gets me up a tree,

Jesus gets me down! 

Have a great day – and climb a tree for me!
