Clueless Disciples..... Clueless US!
I have to share the Gospel reading for today from the Regnum Christi website.
John 14:7-14
Jesus said to his disciples: "If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him." Philip said to him, "Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us." Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ´Show us the Father´? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own. The Father who dwells in me is doing his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else, believe because of the works themselves. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father. And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it."
It struck me as comical when i read it this morning. Jesus is like "Seriously!! You people are SO CLUELESS!! I've been with you all this time and still you don't get it. I am GOD. We are one in the same. If you want to get to the Father, you need to get to know me!"
Sometimes I'm one of those clueless disciples, and I'm thankful for these times Jesus spells it out for us :).
God Bless,
Heather

Let's Try this again!!
My poor little family blog has been sitting idle for 2 and a half years! SO let's see if I can get it going again!!
Here's what's up with us:
Schools almost out! Jason is finishing his freshman year of high school. He doesn't like school, but he makes really good grades. I think he has above a 4.0 GPA!! Meagan's about to finish 6th grade. Where does the time go?? Good luck to my two kiddos this week on final exams!!
Brett and I went on the KLove cruise in February. AWESOME!! I'd been drooling over the thought of going on the KLove cruise for at least 4 years. We saw Matthew West, TobyMac, Francesca Battesteli, Sanctus Real, Blue Tree, and Sidewalk Profits. Well worth the money!! Maybe we can do it again in 5 years :).
Jason attended driving school during the Easter holidays. (He's 15!!!) He passed the written part. Now we're ready to schedule the driving portion. Go Jason!
Meagan has done competitive cheer for the last two years. She's decided to take a break from that and probably go back to soccer this year. She's trying out for the local tournament soccer team. If she doesn't get on that team, we may start up a middle school girls' soccer team at her school. Also, she's playing softball for the first time this spring. She's improved a lot; but she says it's not her sport :).
Brett had his back surgery two years ago. He was virtually pain free for almost two years. Unfortunately, he over worked it on the job during the holidays this past year. So, he's struggling with back pain, shots, and numbness in his leg. Say a prayer of healing for him. Of course, he's still working as hard as ever at Community Coffee. Rest?? Relax?? Come on, this is Brett we're talking about. He has built a FABULOUS koi pond behind the house. I'll post pictures. He loves taking care of his fish and his pond.
ME - I'm still working at Amedisys. I've been on medical leave for the last 3 weeks because I had a hysterectomy. Recovering quite well :). I'm actually going to start working from home tomorrow, and then back to the office next week. I've watched a lot of TLC, HGTV, and Food Network over the last three weeks!!
Pretty Bunny - our rabbit, Pretty, died a few months ago. I think she may have been 10 years old!! She was a gorgeous rabbit. But mom has declared there will be NO MORE caged animals at the Luquette residence. Dogs and fish are enough.
Lucky - our dog lucky..... where do I start? He is just a silly little dog who loves his daddy. When his daddy's home, Lucky follows him around. Otherwise, he's napping on the couch, probably under the covers.
That's it! That's our update. Take care, and keep in touch.
Love
Heather

What Obama stands for
This letter pretty much speaks for itself.
I actually heard on the radio a few months ago that one state (maybe Colorado?) was considering giving Transgenders the right to go into either male or female public restrooms, depending on what gender they felt they were that day. Perhaps Mr. Obama would like to implement that nation-wide??
Marriage, family, and TRUTH in general, are under attack. Don’t give up and don’t stay silent!

Tootie Dog - our spotted girl
Our oldest dog (our first child), Tootie died yesterday. She was 15 years old!! We think she had a stroke Thursday night, which left her blind and somehow messed up her stomach. She died Friday morning.
We will miss her so much. I will look for pictures of Tootie to post here.
:(
