LADYBUG'S DOODLES:
I have a variety of interests and hobbies and you will probably find them all included in my Blog. I am Christian, so I post what I believe and make NO Apologies for it. I will continue to strive to keep this blog rated G. Some things you will find here are reviews of movies and books, songs and their lyrics, recipes, crafts and ideas for crafts, quotes, lists, articles and facts, my experiences and any other thing I can come up with.
Burma passed away and again no one told me. I am sad and will miss Burma so much! She was a loving and dedicated Christian and wanted to make everyone happy. Her husband's name is Wylie and he is the classic Wile E Coyote and would pull pranks on people. I remember so much of this family and my interactions with them. My condolences and prayers to Wylie and his family.

her. She enjoyed spending time with all of her family and her friends.

in God's ministry by helping others and making sure everyone received
her smile. She created smiles on those all around her."
I was reading a book by Grace Livingston Hill and came upon this poem. It was a beautiful poem that has been set to music as an Hymn. The poem was written by Joseph Addison.
The Spacious Firmament on high,
With all the blue Ethereal Sky,
And spangled Heav'ns, a Shining Frame,
Their great Original proclaim:
Th' unwearied Sun, from day to day,
Does his Creator's Pow'r display,
And publishes to every Land
The Work of an Almighty Hand.
Soon as the Evening Shades prevail,
The Moon takes up the wondrous Tale,
And nightly to the list'ning Earth
Repeats the Story of her Birth:
Whilst all the Stars that round her burn,
And all the Planets, in their turn,
Confirm the Tidings as they rowl,
And spread the Truth from Pole to Pole.
What though, in solemn Silence, all
Move round the dark terrestrial Ball?
What tho' nor real Voice nor Sound
Amid their radiant Orbs be found?
In Reason's Ear they all rejoice,
And utter forth a glorious Voice,
For ever singing, as they shine,
The Hand that made us is Divine.
The years pass by faster and faster; but, you are still in our hearts and minds!
"We thought of you in love today, but that is nothing new."
I also thought of the picture of you standing by a cactus. I used this picture to work on my skills of altering pictures. I gave you a twin! lol I laughed about it, but you were alive when I did it. I miss you so much that it hurts every time I think of you. I LOVE YOU, JOHN MICHAEL SCHLAGETER!

You were taken so quickly. Just on your way to work and bam! you are home with Jesus! I didn't even get to say goodbye. I was in bed before you left, and I hadn't wanted to go see the latest Star Wars movie with you the last time you were off work and wanted to go see it. I didn't feel like going out, so I said I didn't want to go. I wish so much I had gone with you!!!!! I miss you still!!! Life is short!!!!
Two years have come and gone. I look forward to when we can meet again in the light of the Risen Lamb, the Great I AM!
Words & music by Walt Harrah
The timeless theme, Earth and Heaven will pass away.
It's not a dream, God will make all things new that day.
Gone is the curse from which I stumbled and fell.
Evil is banished to eternal hell.
No more night. No more pain.
No more tears. Never crying again.
And praises to the great "I AM."
We will live in the light of the risen Lamb.
See all around, now the nations bow down to sing.
The only sound is the praises to Christ, our King.
Slowly the names from the book are read.
I know the King, so there's no need to dread.
No more night. No more pain.
No more tears. Never crying again.
And praises to the great "I AM."
We will live in the light of the risen Lamb.
See over there, there's a mansion, oh, that's prepared just for me,
Where I will live with my savior eternally.
No more night. No more pain.
No more tears. Never crying again.
And praises to the great "I AM."
We will live in the light of the risen Lamb.
All praises to the great "I AM."
We're gonna live in the light of the risen Lamb.
This song helps when I think of you! Happy Birthday in Heaven!

I can only imagine What it will be like When I walk by your side I can only imagine What my eyes would see When your face is before me I can only imagine I can only imagine, yeah
Surrounded by your glory What will my heart feel Will I dance for you Jesus Or in awe of You be still Will I stand in your presence To my knees will I fall Will I sing hallelujah Will I be able to speak at all I can only imagine I can only imagine

Surrounded by your glory What will my heart feel Will I dance for you Jesus Or in awe of You be still Will I stand in your presence Or to my knees will I fall Will I sing hallelujah Will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine, yeah I can only imagine
Surrounded by your glory What will my heart feel Will I dance for you Jesus Or in awe of You be still Will I stand in your presence Or to my knees will I fall Will I sing hallelujah Will I be able to speak at all

Just a few short months ago, you went home to your heavenly Father.
Daddy misses you and I saw him crying that you had left. Love and miss
you, John!
Faith Like That
By: Gordon Mote
I could see his hands were shaking As he took the microphone He said my little boys not gone He's just gone home
Then he opened up his bible And read from John 14 He said, I'm here to celebrate his life Not grieve
It hurts how bad I miss him But what better place to be? He's with his other Father Who loves him more than me
I want to have faith like that Let it be who I am I want to see the bigger picture And trust it's in God's hands I want have faith I want to faith like that
Well I walked up to him after Not real sure what to do
I hugged him
But wondered who was hugging who?
Before I could say I'm sorry He said, It's gonna be alright And as we stood there I could almost hear him smile
I thought I could give him comfort Yeah I thought I believed I went there for him But, he was there for me
I want to have faith like that Let it be who I am I want to see the bigger picture And trust it's in God's hands I want have faith I want to faith like that
I want to walk the walk Not just talk the talk I want to make it who I am
My Little, Big brother (born after me, but was taller than me) has gone home to be with the LORD!. I would always say that he was the classic of "Tall, dark and handsome!" John was slow in movements (such as his nickname of turtle) and he could keep his feelings and words closer than a rock. If he didn't want to talk, you couldn't get him to talk. He was sensitive and was loved! He is and will continue to be missed by his family and by his animal dog friends: Brownie and Tizzy. He was and will continue to be one of my BEST FRIENDS!

One of my best friends has passed away and no one told me. Not my friends where she lived and not any of my friends from the church we both attended. I will miss you Ms Wanda and I know that you are happy with your family and with your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back is the story of Colton. Colton has just turned four years old and he has a life-changing experience with Jesus. During an emergency surgery to correct a burst appendix, and to clean out two or three abscesses, Colton visits Heaven. Over the next several years, Colton tells his parents bits and pieces of his amazing adventure. His adventure of meeting people he never knew and meeting Jesus and God. I give this book a rating of 3/5
Finding this a thought provoking book was a joy. One thought I had was, why not? The language was simple and down to earth. There was no talking down to you and no in your face, fire and brimstone talk. Alternately, I cried and laughed. I cried when reading of all the troubles that happened to the Burpo family, and laughed when Colton said things how only a four year old could say them. The story also made a longing to see Heaven myself one day. I sat down to read it and read through it in just an hour.
