Jesus Healing the Blind Man

Today we are looking at John 9: 1-11. 
How many times are we blind to what God wants us to do?   How different do you think your life would be if you had eyes of faith?  A lot of times we can't even see what is right in front of us. 

All of us have a "blind spot"  In the back of our eyeballs is a part called the retina.  The retina is made of light-sensitive materal that sends information it sees to the brain.  Every retina has a "blind spot" or a place that doesn't have that light sensitive material.

Blind spot experiment:

Draw a smiley face on the left part of a sheet of paper and on the right side place the number one and count up to nine, writing right to left.  Close your right eye and look at the number one with your left eye.  See the smiley face with your peripheral vision!  Without moving your head or the paper look at the other numbers (the 2, then the 3, then 4 etc.)  You will notice that the smiley face disappears around the number four and will reappear around number 7.

Blackberry

We have had our little guinea pig, Abbie named Blackberry, since April 27th.  She was just a little baby when we got her then and she has grown so much!   Here's a new picture of her:

Today's coupons

I had another good shopping trip today with coupons today.  Before coupons and bonus card savings at Bi-Lo my total was:  $46.98.  I only spent $26.24 so that is a savings of $20.74.  I also went to Wal-Mart and was able to get a free bottle of Gain dish detergent!
