Works for me Wednesday


Wednesday means it's time for another tip. More some great idea's visit Kristen at We are THAT Family.

Do you have trouble with your TV screen attracting dust? It seems like I can dust my TV and the next day, the screen is covered in dust again. I read this tip, tried it and it works!
Take a fabric softener sheet and lightly dust the TV screen. It repels dust!

Bob's been carving again!

Bob loves to carve but doesn't do too much of it in the summer, as he spends a lot of his free time working outside on the flowers.
The last few weeks he's been picking up his tools again, and I thought I would share what he's working on.

This is one of the Serta Sheep. He needs his eyes finished and then a paint job. Do you see the golf tee legs?


I think this is a pretty cute pirate! Bob has started painting him, but it takes a while to get all the shadows and different layers of color done.

Here's a little detail of the back of the scarf.


This one is done. The name on the stand is "Shocking". It's an electrician who has just received a shock from that frayed wire he's holding.

I love the tool holder, filled with his tools!
Bob is also finishing a big project, something for me that I can't wait to show you!

Our Orderly God


I got an e-mail that listed many things that show the amazing order that God created in His world. I found it so interesting that I wanted to share it.

God's order may be observed in the hatching of eggs.

For example:
-the eggs of the potato bug hatch in 7 days;
-those of the canary in 14 days;
-those of the barnyard hen in 21 days;
-The eggs of ducks and geese hatch in 28 days;
-those of the mallard in 35 days;
-The eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42 days.
(Notice, they are all divisible by seven, the number of days in a week!)


God's wisdom is revealed in His arrangement of fruit, vegetable, and grain seed sections and segments, as well as in the number of seeds/grains.
-Each watermelon has an even number of stripes on the rind.
-Each orange has an even number of segments.
-Each ear of corn has an even number of rows.
-Each stalk of wheat has an even number of grains.
-Every bunch of bananas has on its lowest row an even number of bananas, and each row decreases by one, so that one row has an even number and the next row an odd number.

-The waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-six to the minute in all kinds of weather.

All grains are found in even numbers on the stalks, and the Lord specified thirty fold, sixty fold, and a hundredfold - all even
numbers.

God has caused the flowers to blossom at certain specified times during the day, so that Linnaeus, the great botanist, once said that if he had a conservatory containing the right kind of soil, moisture and temperature, he could tell the time of day or night by the flowers that were open and those that were closed!


The lives of each of us are ordered by the Lord in a beautiful way for His glory, if we will only entrust Him with your life. If you try to regulate your own life, it will only be a mess and a failure. Only the One Who made the brain and the heart can successfully guide us to a profitable end.

I HOPE YOU FIND THIS AS FASCINATING AS I DID.....WOW!!!!
