Michael was standing in our bedroom playing “hide” with Judah. He asks the air “Is Judah in Ezra’s room?”\par

From under our bed: “‘eah!”

A couple of years ago at Family Camp Chris Schlect spoke on the Blessedness of Routine. At the time he suggested finding the fun and joy in routine and seeing it as a blessing from God. One example: looking at the laundry and seeing how it looked like an elephant. OK. That was pretty corny, [...] \par My Mom had a cut out newspaper article posted on her fridge. It was a very sad, interesting, instructive and would have been funny (in a macabre, sad sort of way) if it wasn’t true. Emeth suggested blogging it, so I just googled it. The link is here http://www.wmtw.com/news/5950773/detail.html\par Here is Judah with his playdoh (before his haircut):\par A couple of my mother’s favorite sayings (I don’t have very many of my own yet):\par I have an aweful lot of questions. As I was telling my mom today, life is very complicated. How we even manage to complete a day without hiding our heads under our pillows and crying for it all to “just go away” is beyond me! Not that my life is bad, or anything – just [...] Well, just an update – it looks like the fleas are gone from the house! I haven’t seen any (never did, this time), had any bites or even felt itchy when thinking of fleas for several days! Praise the Lord! (Now I don’t wonder why people didn’t keep cats in the house in the days [...] \par \’c3\’82\’c2\~\par The other day I told Judah that we were going to call Daddy soon. A minute or two later he went over and got the phone. I saw that he had it, so I demanded that he turn it over (he’s not supposed to just get it by himself, unless it’s ringing and he’s bringing [...] We went to see Grandma in Molalla today. Normally we go on Wednesdays, but this week, due to travelling plans which have now been changed, we went on Tuesday, bearing cookies for Valentine’s Day.\par Ben, my next younger brother has just affianced a lovely young woman named Emeth – her blog is called Double Dead Frog and is on my sidebar – and I am very happy for both of them. Although I’ve only met her once, I know he is going to be very lucky. I respect my [...] Today’s after church event was our monthly prayer meeting. Our church is divided up into approximately 6 prayer groups and each month, generally on the 3rd Sunday of the month we have prayer meetings in our homes. This month we’re having a Head of Household’s meeting on the 3rd Sunday, so we had the prayer [...] Now I have Leap Frog “Talking Words Factory” going on in the background – and since that’s a little more intellectual than “Winnie the Pooh” I feel like perhaps I can explain why I chose Home Despot as the title for my blog.\par Today’s lament was going to be titled: “Woe is me, I cannot find my cat, and I’m not sure I want to anymore.” This is because, in spite of driving me crazy trying to get into the house for the past 3-4 days, the cat decided to disappear this morning before her 10:00 vet apointment. [...] OK, I do have a beef about courtship. I don’t disagree with general courtship principles, especially parental authority (primarily over the daughter) and supervision. But it seems that some parents seem to think that given 5 minutes alone together a teenage boy and girl will start making babies. (I hope that comment’s not too racy [...] \’c3\’82\’c2\~I have a few dilemmas regarding this blog.\’c3\’82\’c2\~\par Yes, here he is on the table grinning at me and arduously maneuvering himself about on the kitchen table here at my folks’ house. I’m delighted to see this, as it means perhaps he will, unlike his older brother, learn how to crawl. I used to leave Judah on his tummy in hopes that he [...] |
