Well, life is busy in the Jansen household. Beau has games Monday's and Thursday and Jack plays every Saturday. This past weekend Jenks Mustangs (Jack's team) played their friends the Jenks Air. It was a tough battle but they lost by 1pt after a kid shot a 3pt shot with 3 seconds left in the game. It was a huge disappointment for the boys but they played great! We hope to play this team again in the finals. It was a beautiful weekend and we had lots of boys over to play even more basketball. I'm laughing that I chose to cheer for wrestling in high school instead of basketball. If I had known I would have a bunch of ballers in the house, I would have paid attention to basketball a little more!
I've learned a lot since retiring as a USAF pilot and venturing into insurance and despite what you may think of insurance companies or agents like myself, there is a deep understanding in this industry of risk and the role finance plays in managing that risk. Visit this link for a 1 minute perspective from a leading CEO. I plan to watch the film they are showing at Universities as well. ½ cup sugar 1 ½ TBS Flour 2 eggs ¾ cup buttermilk ½ stick butter (melted) ⅛ tsp salt ½ tsp vanilla ( I use closer to TBS) Mix well and beat. Pour into 9" pie shell. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes or until golden brown. Cool before cutting. RECIPE TIP: Serve with whipped cream for a special treat! My oldest (Son) is doing some school research and came across this. amazing how true this is today…. Thomas Jefferson "I place economy among the first and most important virtues and public debt as the greatest of dangers to be feared. To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with public debt. We must make our choice between economy and liberty or confusion and servitude. If we run into such debts, we must be taxed in our meat and drink, in our necessities and comforts, in our labor and in our amusements. If we can prevent the government from wasting the labor of the people, under the pretense of 'caring for them,' they will be happy." Spent Friday and Saturday at The Coves, Grand Lake, attending Kirk Elder retreat. Offsite retreats are always productive to assess and plan. Enjoyed Sunday with family worshipping at The Kirk, then spent the afternoon at Tulsa Boys Home. Finally, wrapped up with a trout dinner celebrating my father in law's birthday. Hope the rest of 2014 goes as well as it has started!! A group of us visited the Tulsa Food bank Tuesday night. They have an amazing warehouse at 1304 N.Kenosha Ave. where they distribute food to non-profits all over Eastern Oklahoma. Did you know Oklahoma ranks in the top 5 states as one of the hungriest states? Oranges were on the menu for that night so we spent 2 hours sorting and bagging fresh oranges for the hungry. They need volunteers all the time. I would recommend checking out their website. The 2nd Tuesday of the month is their family night. Go out and make a difference in Tulsa! New Years Eve is my mother's birthday. We brought in the new year with much excitement. My sister and I planned a surprise party at her house with over 65 people in attendance. Pictured on the right is Dr. Shamsuddin from Maryland. He is the doctor who patented the IP6 + Inositol supplement my mother takes and credits with much of her success of beating cancer. He flew in to surprise her for her birthday and she was shocked to say the least. We are so fortunate to have Mom alive and healthy to celebrate her birthday after her recovery from breast cancer. Thank you Dr. Shamsuddin for all your research and your kind heart! While we were setting up we got a phone call that her scan was clean from the most recent tests. Praise God!
Hope you all had a Merry Christmas celebrating Jesus' birth! We enjoyed both of our families and we are so thankful to have everyone healthy and happy! In honor of Phil Robertson and Duck Dynasty, I enjoyed the privilege taking my boys hunting over the break. Following God's plan results in many blessings. We enjoyed a beautiful day and numerous flights of waterfowl!! This pic is from my church, Kirk of the Hills (please visit their site!!), and the word, Anticipated, is thread on nails. They do a great job of advertising each sermon series. We all remember the anticipation of Christmas morning to see how much Santa brings from our lists. We celebrated Christmas with both families here in Tulsa! We are still cleaning up after the fun at our house. Hope your Christmas was merry and bright! The reason for the season is Jesus, the greatest gift of all. |
