HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAREN !!

Karen,
I feel truly blessed to call you a friend !
You are such an inspiration to me, You are always there to share your wisdom, a comforting hug or a laugh ! You are one of those people who can inspire without making me feel less..does that make sense?
You have such a sweet heart, one that truly seeks to honor God in all you do. You are someone who is always seeking to be more like Jesus and you’re not afraid to do the work that it takes. I look at you and see what I aspire to be...A woman who loves the Lord, honors her husband, loves her children, and blesses her friends ! And you do it all with a sweet and humble heart. I admire you more than words can say ! I hope you have a wonderful Birthday and a blessed year ahead ! I wish I could be down there to hug you in person...so just consider yourself HUGGED !

Noah's Ark Everything I need to know, I learned from Noah's Ark.



ONE: Don't miss the boat.

TWO: Remember that we are all in the same boat.

THREE: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.

FOUR: Stay fit. When you're 60 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.

FIVE: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.

SIX: Build your future on high ground.

SEVEN: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.

EIGHT: Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.

NINE: When you're stressed, float awhile.

TEN: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.

ELEVEN: No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting.

Shocking ...I know!

Merry Christmas !!!

I know it's hard to believe....a family picture of the Bicklers!! We only do this about once every 10 years...so take a good look...you probably won't see another one for a while...unless of course I drop a million pounds like some other unnamed person .... or persons.......

We wish you all a blessed and wonderful Christmas ! We feel truly honored and extremely blessed to have such awesome people in our lives !!! **We love you man!!** SNIFF** I'm not cryin...it's just my allergies.....**Sniff**

A picture is worth a thousand words...this one maybe more....

Our Little T

Lorrie has started a web page honoring the life of her little T . It has some great pictures and Lorrie really shares from her heart! I know my "Amy" blog has really helped me through the grief process and I added Thomas and Lorries site so we can support her during this time! It's going to be a LONG , very hard road, the whole family will need our continued support, but most of all our prayers! Get your tissues, take a few minutes, let them know you are thinking about them ! I added a link at the side called Our Little T...go check it out and leave a note !
