sin... yes or no...

Is it a "sin" to drink more water out of your Starbucks cup than caffeinated beverages?

Regardless, I am going to play this one on the safe side, and make sure to drink more caffeinated beverages out of this cup... just in case...

So... I will love and adore my Sweet Jesus while I consume Mnt. Dew, Pepsi, any and ALL Starbucks Beverages and more out of this beautiful cup... I will do my very best to try and consume 1 class of water out of it a day... just to assist in "rinsing" between beverages...

FYI

FYI: I was informed the a while back... by my two year old son... that little boys DO NOT wear panties... He wears UNDERWEAR....

NOT Destroyed...

Things seem like they are a little overwhelming right now... and I asked my Sweet Jesus for a LIFE giving fresh WORD and this is what I got....

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

2nd Corinthians 4:8-9

PRAISE JESUS!

Wordless Wednesday

Quietly sitting with HIM and watching him play...

I recently took Isaac to a free water park..a splash park technically...

... it was so refreshing, he played in the water and I hung out on a bench, under a fabulous tree...

... while he ran around, Jesus and I just hung out... I hardly said anything, I just watched HIM...

... I watched HIM bless me with laughter as my child played in the water... I watched HIM rain down peace, the kind of peace that passes all human understanding...

... I watched HIM love us... I could have stayed there for the rest of my life... we will be back!

Corn... the answer to life...

A few weeks back, I had dinner with my parents and sisters to celebrate the publishing of my book. Andrew had to work, so Isaac and I went to my parent's house for dinner in the back yard... the only request I had was to have to corn on the cob...

... Isaac watched Auntie Mandy peel the corn and picked up a little something for himself...

... he has NEVER had corn on the cob before...

... he just bit right in and went for it, before it was even cooked...

... and he LOVED IT...

... I pray he faces the challenges that come his way exactly the same way - I pray he just jumps right in and goes after it...

One thing I have learned over the last 10 or so days... is to cling to the "corn on the cob" moments in life... I tenderly love that Jesus walks with us in the midst of it all... even if we need a little help to just jump right in and go for it...

Ordering the book...
