Funny Church Sign...

The church down the street has one of those message boards and it usually has some corny, cliched saying on it, but I did like this weeks.

"Sign Broken. Message Inside This Week."

Quote From the Pulpit...

Today at church our pastor quoted our pastor in charge of college ministries.

"If sin were blue, we'd all be smurfs."

Infrequent Adventures In Odyssey Quote of the Day...

This one's for you Hobbitsister!

Eugene: "Impossible! Prepositions are not words I end sentences with!"

I-Dog...

Z got a toy I-Dog in his happy meal today and yelled, "Look! I have a singing Chihuahua just like Erma!!!!"

Did I Tell You...

The Stallion met Honormommy at a birthday party this summer. Her daughter is friends with one of M's closest friends. Small world, huh???

Sad, Sad Story...

Today I took the boys to Dairy Queen. Z always wants a chocolate dip cone. He eats the chocolate then asks us to scoop out the "cream" and then eats the cone. I hate wasting that ice-cream so today I didn't order anything for myself thinking I would just eat his ice-cream. We ordered and sat down and Z proceeded to eat the entire ice-cream cone. So today I went to Dairy Queen and had nothing. That is my sad, sad story.

Return A Blessing...

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Romans 12:14

We were talking in my bible study the other morning about this verse in light of our parenting. As a mother I have a tendency to tell my son to avoid children who "bother" him, but truthfully that is not what the bible (or Jesus) would have him do. It tells us specifically to seek out and bless those who persecute us. So lately we have been discussing how we can return a blessing to those who hurt us and how God will reward us for this behavior and bless us for obeying Him. But, dear me, this is so hard...

Auntie Hobbitsister's Favorite Bible Story...

Z's version of "Jesus Meets the Children"...

My story was about Jesus meets the children. All the little children were going to go see Jesus which was totally sweet. But then the naughty grown-ups said Jesus was busy and they had to wait a minute. But Jesus said HEY, those are my kids and I wanna see them and if you don't let me I will have to discipline you. So the naughty grown-ups had a discipline and the kids all had a cuddle with Jesus. The End.

Sorry, my internets been down...

Just out of curiosity, am I really the only person not on facebook????

Adventures is Odyssey Quote of the Day...

"Space. One of the last places to be explored. These are the journeys of the Starship Aerobicise, on a five year mission to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life with new spin off series, to saturate the market with action figures and plastic pointy ears. It’s star trip, starring William Shattered."
