I'm Rich

I learned that in church today. I am rich. I mean financially rich. You are probably thinking that I am some crazy person right now, but seriously... I'm rich. Gallop did a survey once to see what people thought "rich" was... and all across the US, the people thought $120,000 was considered rich. If you made that, then you were well off.

Today, I learned that I am in the top 4% of the worlds population when it comes to money. What?? I know. If you made $35,000 last year, you are in the top 4% of the world. 96% of the worlds population did not even make that last year. It put a new perspective on it for me!

Brian's mom and dad spent the night with us last night. They went to church with us today, which was a lot of fun. We went to Cabela's yesterday, and went to dinner at Applebee's, came home, played a game, then watched a movie. It was nice not having to drive to someone and actually having someone come to us. I wish my mom had a better car so she could come and see us. I miss her. :o(

In the past 3 weeks, I have made 6 dozen cupcakes... WOW. I have been a baking machine. I want to make a cobbler one of these days... a mixed berry cobbler... I have never done a peach one... but I am hoping it will turn out!

It's almost Valentines day... N-I-C-E. I don't know why I said that... it's just another day of the week for us... since we don't celebrate it at all... hmmm...

I'm tired... so I am going to go to bed... I know. It's only 6:30, but I don't care!

Night ya'll

OH... if you are the praying type, I have some friends that could use some prayer... our friend Matt from small group found out he has A-Typical cells on two parts of his body, so he is going in on Weds to have more removed. Our friend Gab needs prayer because he doesn't know what good dancing is... :o)

but no... seriously... if you could please pray for Matt, that would be really kind of you. Also our friend Ian found out his dad is pretty ill, and he realized that his dad isn't superman anymore... that one day, he too will die... and I think it is hitting him harder than he let on today... please pray for him too...

And our friends in Virginia... the VanWynsbergs...

:o) Thanks
