I was tagged by Flip Flop Floozie who made me this great name plate.

I was also tagged by Cozy Reader who made me this colorful name plate

I also got this nifty one from Melli at Insanity Prevails.

I'm supposed to display the names of eight of my choices in a creative way and explain why I chose each. Which wouldn't be hard if I had any talent or creativity. Those of you who know me well know how limited I am at creative computer skills so prepare to be amazed at what I created.

My first award goes out to my Savannah friend and buddy Sandy (alias Flip Flop Floozie). Sandy is one of the sweetest, kindest, wisest women I know. She is a friend, mentor, hostess, tour guide, encourager, and prayer warrior. She enriches my life and I am a better person because of her influence and prayers.
This award goes out to my good friend Jane at Cozy Reader. Jane is a peach of girlfriend ( a Georgia Peach at that!) We are from the same tribe and same clan and I cherish her friendship and wisdom. When you first meet Jane you feel like you've have always known her and you are instantly won over by her laughter and bound together forever by her tears. There is such depth in Jane and genuineness that you never want the lunch to end.

This award goes out to the very sweet and talented Suzy of See Suzy Spin. I have known Suzy all her life (she is my daughter and claims she never gets any awards!) Suzy is a children's librarian and comes up with the most clever ideas to get kids to read. She sews wonderfully, loves acting, scrap booking, traveling and adventure .

This award goes out to my friend Barbara of Trying to Catch Up. I consider Barbara to be absolutely brilliant (thus the light bulb!) She knows the coolest places to check out on the internet, she personally created the Blog Olympics and all the games, and will walk you through every" new toy " and how to put it on your blog. What little I know about blogging I "stole" from her. I've never had the privilege of meeting Barbara but she is high on "my hit list" of people I want to meet. Barbara has a great sense of humor and is always passionate about every task she takes on. She loves graphs and charts, her family and falcons.

Carolyn of Talk to Grams is delightful and fun. She never lets her physical limitations keep her from visiting with you at least once a day. Carolyn is someone I would love to sit down with and visit over a cup of tea. She adores her family and they adore her. She is new to blogging but has already made a serious impact on our hearts. Nothing seems to discourage her and she is always a source of sunshine and inspiration.
Rosie is one of my very favorite friends (actually she's my sister .....by blog not blood!) She's the sweetest little Rosebud that Texas ever knew.....but alas she is moving back to her beloved state leaving me in a state of sadness. Rosie has a personality bigger than Texas and a smile and laugh that makes everyone in the place feel better. We have a special connection and I know she is always looking out for me. The next few weeks will really be hard for her as they pick up and relocate. Hugs and prayers coming your way sis!
This award goes out to Susan at Learning for a Lifetime. Susan is from Florida and I couldn't resist the pink Flamingo. I am so looking forward to getting to meet Susan this October. I admire her mission field of working in the public schools and love to hear of their adventures with her darling hubby and four boys. (She has taught me how to gather scallops and other delicacies from the sea.) Susan always has words of encouragement as well as some serious thoughts to ponder.
This is for my new friend Linda at "This and That". Linda is a recent find (I stole her from Floozie) and is like visiting an old friend. She makes you feel relaxed and will even entertain you with her posts. She doesn't seem to mind if you visit wearing your ratty slippers and robe while you drink your morning coffee. I like Linda, she is real and authentic.

What would my life be without the Mellinator? Able to leap to conclusions in a single bound, faster than a speeding pea from a peashooter, able to whip up liver and onions for a friends husband because his wife hates it and won't fix it for him, and who disguised as a mild manner Curves Ladies fights a never ending battle for exercise, laughter and the pursuit of happiness. You got it, the high priestess of fun and insanity Melli.

What I dig about Jesus Meme
. I have been tagged by everyone conceiveable ( Grams, Floozie, and especially by one who is living in my house this weekend and threatened me with great bodily harm!) that I should do this meme.

The rules are simple......write down 5 things you dig about Jesus.

It sounds simple enough but I find myself awake early this morning asking myself just what is it that attracts me, delights me and keeps me coming back for more. What is it that puts a smile on face, a song in my heart and a desire to know Him better? What is the "it" factor?

1. I dig that Jesus always reaches out first. ( We love Him because He first loved us!) He is the one that initiated the relationship. He made it easy for me to respond.
2. I dig that nothing ever catches Jesus by surprise. He knows everything already and really only waits for me to come to Him with my huge problem (and my small irritations too!)
3 I dig that Jesus has a solution for every problem and works on my behalf. Even though I don't fully understand the process, timing or pain along the way I know that nothing is impossible for Him and He is always working for my good.
4. I dig that Jesus provides abundantly for all my needs. As a faith based missionary we trust Him for our finances, health, security, peace of mind, friendships, and eternity.
5. I dig that my relationship is personal and is not based on my past performance or future acts.

I'm supposed to tag 5 other people but I will let you decide if you want to do this. It will make you think, reflect, and decide what really matters and isn't that a good thing to do on a Sunday afternoon? Let me know if you decide to take the challenge and I'll come over and rejoice over your choices.
