The interesting & not so fun

We had the missionaries over for dinner tonight. They called this morning to remind us, which is good because I'd completely forgotten. So instead of going to see the new Bourne movie with Dave, we stayed home & cleaned. Fun, fun.

I'm glad we spent the day cleaning, though. It'll be that much less work to do in the next few days, as I get ready for Dave's mom, Vickie, & her husband, Keith, who are coming in town on Friday for Tyler, Jordan, & Logan's birthday parties. Now, if I can manage to maintain it I'll be doing great!

I read the bible a bit tonight. It's been a long time since I've opened it up. My quad was sitting next to me on the couch, just looking at me. I thought out loud, it has my name on it, yet I know so little about it! That's just wrong!! So, I broke it open & started reading about the Revelations of John in the Bible dictionary. Very interesting stuff!!

I remember asking my dad, when I was little & my mom accidentally killed my older brother Travis' pet hamster, if there were animals in heaven. He told me there was, but I never fully believed him because, well, how could he really know? Tonight I actually read where it says animals will be resurrected & that they live in heaven!

After recounting this to Dave, he goes on to tell me that all the animals & plants.....everything......chose to come to Earth. !?What!? This is new to me!! What do you mean they "chose"??? So, now I'm off to check this out, because I'm back to the same issue I had with my Dad when I was little. How can he know that?

I'll be finding out the answer to that & adding more info as I find it. Truly interesting stuff!!
