Our junk mail usually goes straight from the mailbox to the trash. But the above ad (that I scanned from the snail mail) was too funny not to share. How hilarious is that pic???
On a serious note....
When I read the list of services this company offers (botox, implants, lipo, etc..) it reminded me how we are totally consumed with outer beauty. We don't like getting older, so we buy an array of products & procedures to slow down the inevitable aging process. Just a few weeks ago, I combed the drugstore isle looking for my Olay age-defying, intensive nourishing night cream. I need to remind myself that charm is deceptive, and beauty is fading, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. (Proverbs 31:30)
In a ladies book study at church, we're reading Lies Women Believe and the Truth That Sets Them Free, by Nancy DeMoss. She writes that if we devote our time & energy trying to be skinny, glamorous & youthful, we may achieve those objectives for a while. But one day we'll regret having neglected to cultivate our inner beauty & character which are pleasing to God & last FOREVER.

Here's a list of the Top 10 Most Ridiculous British Laws:
1. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament
2. It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside-down
3. In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless except as a clerk in a tropical fish store
4. Mince pies cannot be eaten on Christmas Day
5. In Scotland, if someone knocks on your door and requires the use of your toilet, you must let them enter
6. A pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman's helmet
7. The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the king, and the tail of the queen
8. It is illegal to avoid telling the tax man anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing
9. It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament in a suit of armour
10. In the city of York, it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow

spreading the word
today, on two separate occasions, people were telling me about a kids movie coming out called the golden compass. i had no idea what the movie was really about. i saw a preview for it last week, & it seemed like a cute little kids show. IT IS NOT! if you haven't heard what it's about, check out this link.

army guy & snow white
We hit a few houses with Bekah & family. Kate soon grew weary, so I called my mom (who lives around the corner) to come pick her up. Then Max & I walked over to my parents street & trick-or-treated til we ended up at their house. I was surprised how many families have HUGE dogs. Poor little KK doesn't do dogs....as you can see in the last video.
