It seems our house has been hit by the plague . . . of crickets.  They are everywhere. In the kitchen. In the bathroom.  And they LOVE our laundry room.  One can see about 5 of these bugs in the laundry room each time it is entered.

And they especially love trying to keep me up at night by "singing" all night long.  I am tired of it.  And I am just plain tired because they keep me up!

So we have proclaimed war on these little insects.  No St. Francis mentality here.  I want them dead.  Really dead. Just to make sure they cannot keep me up anymore.  And although they can be elusive, we have won many battles.  Shoes have been thrown. Some miss. Some hit the target dead on.

How many times are we told not to fear in scripture? Many.  We are not to be afraid. And, I just love this new ring from Sporty Girl Jewelry. 

The outside says . . .

I am not afraid

The inside says . . .

I was born to do this

This quote is taken from something St. Joan of Arc said.  Now, while the quote is meant to inspire runners and triathletes, etc to run far and work hard, it has hit me in all aspects of my life right now.

In all things, God tells us to Fear Not.

Have you ever wondered what would be on the soundtrack from the movie that is made about your life?  I have.  Well,not really.  But, I have wondered what songs I would put on the CD called "The Soundtrack of My Life"

Well, here is my list from my life this far . . .

1. I Want to Hold Your Hand by The Beatles.

My aunt and parents are huge Beatles fans.  And I remember growing up hearing all of their songs.
