And another one!
Can you find thirty (30) books of the Bible in this paragraph? Actually, there are 31 if you can find the variant of one Old Testament prophet's name.
There are 30 books of the Bible in this paragraph. Can you find them? This is a most remarkable puzzle. It was found by a gentleman in an airplane seat pocket, on a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu, keeping him occupied for hours. He enjoyed it so much, he passed it on to some friends. One friend from Illinois worked on this while fishing from his john boat. Another friend studied it while playing his banjo. Elaine Taylor, a columnist friend, was so intrigued by it she mentioned it in her weekly newspaper column. Another friend judges the job of solving this puzzle so involving, she brews a cup of tea to help her nerves. There will be some names that are really easy to spot. That's a fact. Some people, however, will soon find themselves in a jam, especially since the book names are not necessarily capitalized. Truthfully, from answers we get, we are forced to admit it usually takes a minister or a scholar to see some of them at the worst. Research has shown that something in our genes is responsible for the difficulty we have in seeing the books in this paragraph. During a recent fund raising event, which featured this puzzle, the Alpha Delta Phi lemonade booth set a new record. The local paper, The Chronicle, surveyed over 200 patrons who reported that this puzzle was one of the most difficult they had ever seen. As Daniel Humana humbly puts it, "The books are all right here in plain view hidden from sight." Those able to find all of them will hear great lamentations from those who have to be shown. One revelation that may help is that books like Timothy and Samuel may occur without their numbers. Also, keep in mind, that punctuation and spaces in the middle are normal. A chipper attitude will help you compete really well against those who claim to know the answers. Remember, there is no need for a mad exodus; there really are 30 books of the Bible lurking somewhere in this paragraph waiting to be found. God Bless.

Can you find sixteen (16) books of the Bible in this paragraph?
I once made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible (merely by a fluke). It kept people looking so hard for the facts and for others it was a revelation. Some were in a jam, especially since the name of the books were not capitalized, but the truth finally struck home to numbers of readers. To others it was a real job. We want it to be a most fascinating few moments for you. Yes, there will be some really easy ones to spot. Others may require judges to help them. I will quickly admit it usually takes a minister to find one of them, and there will be loud lamentations when it is found. A little lady says she brews a cup of tea so she can concentrate better. See how well you can compete. Relax now. There really are sixteen names of books in this story.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Books are:
Esther, Titus, Amos, Peter, Mark, Luke, Kings, Acts, Revelations, James, , Numbers, Job, Judges, Lamentations, Hebrews, Ruth

Third Anniversary Means a Trip To Chi Town!
Mitchell and I will be celebrating our three year anniversary on February 11th. Since we never had a honeymoon and we've been drifting apart we've decided to go away for a few days, without Alex. We're going to go to Chicago! We chose Chicago for a few different reasons, 1. It's a big city 2. We can take the train for cheap and not have to rent a car because of the lovely public transportation 3. We can see Alf and Alicia 4. Very tall hotels 5. Lots to do!
The tentative plan right now is to take the train (Amtrak) from Flint to Chicago on February 10th early in the morning. We'll arrive in Chicago around 11:15 local time and take a cab to our super awesome looking hotel, the Sheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers. Yeah, I know. Super cool. All 1,209 rooms and 34 floors of coolness. We will be on the top four floors, in a Club King Room, where we will have free continental breakfast, snacks and hor's deavours and beverages all day long. There is a giant indoor pool on one of those lower floors overlooking the river. There are bars, resteraunts, coffee shops and a gift shop. Oh, not to mention a freaking ball room!!! And room service and all that other fun stuff.
We're not making any plans except to relax and hopefully spend some time with Alf and Alicia one evening while we're there. We've talked about going to the Shedd Aquarium, or the Planetarium or one of the Museums, but we're just going to go and be together and do whatever we feel like doing! Mitchell wants to ride the L and I'd like to wander around and do some shopping. I'd also like to get some Chicago Style Pizza (I've been to Chicago before but never had pizza there...). We will take a cab ride and ride the L and walk and just be together! It will be wonderful!

Snowfest 2009
Yesterday we went up to Frankenmuth to walk around in the freezing cold to look at ice and snow sculptures. It was cold, but it was fun! My favorite carvings were the polar bears, the dragon and the baby star wars. :-) We had hot chocolate and ate at Zenders and bought caramel apples at the Bavarian Inn and bought candy at Rau's. It was a great day but unfortunately I didn't have my camera (dead battery) so no pictures. But my fingers were so numb I probbaly wouldn't have been able to push the button anyway... So I stole a picture from the internet!!!

Christmas Date!
For Christmas Mitchell got me a $50 gift card to the Somerset Mall in Troy, MI and $75 for dinner on the same day. We went yesterday after church and had a great time! The mall is on both the north and south sides of Big Beaver Road (really, I didn't make that name up!) and it's connected by a huge walkway with the moving floor thing, like in airports! It was a fantastic mall, with super nice rich fancy stores (Coach, Tiffany, Gucci, Louis Vuiton, ect.), stuff I couldn't afford! But we had a great time together and i managed to buy a few things. :-)
This is the walkway over Big Beaver Road.

This is some "artwork" in front of the mall...
It looks more like something you'd throw at
an approaching army or something.
The lobby of the south side, complete with
picturesque fountain and self playing grand piano.
The roof in the food court, with some snow on it.
A peacock, in the Peacock Cafes (the food court).

Lots of leftovers!

We're so cute! And full!!!

New Years Eve and Day
We had a lot of fun on New Years Eve. Mitchell's family came over, minus Alf and Alicia, and we played Wii and watched the ball drop and had a grand old time!
Ben and Katie came over too, Ben came to hang out with Mitch and Katie came to visit with Quincie. It was a good family night, everyone had a fun time!
Once we'd all gotten up and dressed the girls (Quincie, Kathryn, Sue and I) went to the mall for some shopping. We had a good time, spent a lot of money and laughed hysterically. Quincie had lots of fun posing like the silly mannequins in the stores.
While the girls were at the mall the boys went to the store to buy a silly computer game called Starcraft. Captain Dave and Grayson came over to hang out with them too. They spent the day playing, and when we got back from the mall we all (except for Al, Sue and Quincie) went to Fuddruckers for a burger.

The next day, New Years Day, we got up and were lazy for awhile and played Wii. Quincie had a hard time aiming the controller at the TV, and it was hillarious.
