When the valley is deep, When the mountain is steep, When the body is weary, When we stumble and fall, When the choices are hard, When we're battered and scarred, When we've spent our resources, When we've given our all.......In Jesus Name, we Press On.......Dear Lord, with the prize clear before our eyes, We find the strength to Press On. ~Written by Dan Burgess~

Shreddies: Diamonds or Squares?
I'm sure y'all have seen the commercial about the cereal Shreddies and how the little squares have been "changed" to diamond shape.
I picked up some Shreddies at the grocery store today. While in the kitchen, Jared was helping me put the groceries away and here's how our very serious conversation went:
Jared: "Oh Mom, did you buy Diamond Shreddies or Square Shreddies?" Michelle: "Well, I actually bought the Diamond Shreddies this time, just for YOU." Jared: "Oh good!" Michelle: "But the NEXT box I buy, I will get the square ones because THOSE are the ones that I grew up with." Jared: [chuckle] "OK"
Meanwhile, Blake is in the office sitting at the computer and hollers out to us, "Uhhhh, there's no difference between the Diamond Shreddies and the Square Shreddies!!!!"
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAAAA
Jared and I broke into laughter.
Duhhhhhhh, OK Blake, thanks for the in-for-ma-tion!!!! Duhhhhhhhhh Honestly, I really think the boy needs to get out more often!
Square, diamond - they could even make them circles and I would LOVE them. I had Shreddies every day for breakfast as a kid and I think I could keep that up even now if the grocery shopper in our house (not me) wasn't into such variety with the cereal choices. Mmmmm, mmmmmm!
I am a Christian woman who is the full-time (or should I say 'over-time') wife of Jon and mother of Blake, Jacob, and Jared. We also have two babies who are already in Heaven. We have two Golden Retrievers, Mick & Duke, and a kitty-cat, Katarina. I also have a few boys that I consider my "adopted" sons (Matt, Billy, Brad, & Justin). Our oldest son is currently battling Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis; but the Lord's hands continue to rest on Blake, and we wait patiently for the healing. I am busy chauffeuring the boys to jobs and school events as well as the hockey rinks, soccer fields, baseball diamonds, and fiddle performances (where we perform as Fiddlers Found). I am a huge fan of fiddle & bluegrass music as well as gospel & old hymns. Some of my favourite groups are Selah, The Isaacs, and The Martins. I am blessed with a loving family and wonderful friends, old and new. I am currently in the process of learning to be content in all circumstances, which is proving to be difficult by times, but by faith and the Lord's promises, I continue to "press on".
