Courageous!!

My workstudy student had her DAY OLD laptop stolen today (she literally got it brand new in the mail yesterday!). It was stolen in between classes - she left it on her desk, and went to make copies for me. When she came back it was gone! It happened in an instant. She knew the thief couldn't be TOO far away, so she took off in her car looking for people near/around our building with her black laptop bag.

She found a guy walking with her bag! She hopped out of her car, confronted the guy, and he said "Well, it was just laying there." <---((ha! so, I guess that means it was his, huh? People are such idiots.)) Anyway, she ripped the bag off of his shoulder, and told him to follow her to the police station on campus. With a few choice words, he told her "NO!" and ran off through the field headed to the president's house. Luckily, someone passed by and saw the chaos, and called campus police! Campus police came and arrested the guy at gun point (yea, they are REAL police, not just flashlight security guards!). He is now kicked out of school & is arrested with a felony charge. The highlight of the whole ordeal, is that this thief was so scared, he.....pooped his pants. Serves him right! LOL! :) I think my workstudy student (who is a granny by the way), was one courageous woman! I don't know if I could have done what she did! I am so very proud of her.....for standing up against WRONG, even if he was bigger and badder than she was! I bet he will think twice before stealing again!

My Heritage - Dad's Side

My uncle Robert shared some pictures with me of my dad's father. It is always fun to look back on my heritage - my roots. Pictures from my dad's side of the family are rare (unlike my mom's side). I never met my dad's father, J.C. Lewis, or his dad....but these pictures help me to feel some connection to them somehow.

Back in the Saddle

Sorry I haven't updated my blog much this summer. Maybe once I get going again this semester I can post some more goodies. :)

I have to share this picture with you. Read what my friend Morgan posted on her blog to explain the picture:

"We hosted The Current at our house for an event called "Back in the Saddle". The Current is our young-adult ministry for ages 18 to thirty- somethings at Northwood. We had a blast! The day started out with a huge thunderstorm which dumped a ton of rain, but we still had over 20 people show up. Jeffry had penned up a calf and greased a pig...I can't even begin to tell you how hilarious it was to watch everyone!"

When she says "hilarious" it is not an understatement. God dumped that rain just so we would have a bunch of MUD to play in! I have never laughed so much in my life! And I have to say we were ALL supposed to dress up like cowboys/cowgirls. But I am the only one looking like a fool in the picture! LOL ~ I DID win the costume contest though! whoop! :)

I have to say I have the best church family ever.













This is a picture of Morgan's husband, Jeffry & our youth pastor, Micah.

Divine!!

You should really try The Pioneer Woman's recipes! That woman has got it going on! I baked this "Dump Cake" (which is the easiest thing ever) for some friends that are coming over and it was divine!!! Heavenly. Served it up with some vanilla ice cream. Every recipe of Ree's (The Pioneer Woman) has turned out great for me....and I am NOT the best cook. Her chicken spaghetti is now one of the staples that I cook at home a lot.
Hope you will visit her site at www.thepioneerwoman.com
