It's Springtime! Run Around Outside!

Stop what you are doing, take off your clothes, put a bucket on your head and dance in your driveway!

It's leap-frogged Spring and headed straight to Summer.

Not that I'm complaining....

Sunday Morning Come On Down

My friend Heather had this video up on her Facebook wall and it made me laugh-so I thought I would repost it here.

This is sometimes what it looks like to run Bible study with high schoolers.
Their questions are only slightly more sophisticated than Ben's in the video, but no less rapid-fire. Oh and the polar bear question? I've definitely gone down that rabbit hole. And had girls crying over Jesus killing endangered animals. Definitely.

I have stepped away from most of my friends; high school and grown-up, in the last few weeks simply because I haven't had a lot to give away. I am doing my best to find time to be quiet and restore myself, but the discipline is difficult and I am still exhausted. The only good thing, is that I have found myself to be so totally emptied of myself that anything of substance that is "good" to come out of me is straight from God. He has to fill my tank because I am incapable of doing it myself.

Be with me when I am fearful
to make me faithful.
Be with me when I am faithful
to make me fruitful.
Be with me when I am fruitful
to make me humble.
For it is only by your grace
that I was chosen to serve you;
only by your strength
that I am even able to serve;
only by your faithfulness
that I am still serving you today...

It Ain't Sunday If there Ain't Football On

We got a call on Saturday night seeing if we wanted two free tickets to the Carolina Panthers/Redskins game on Sunday at 1pm.







Well yes we did.

This guy was there.

So was this guy.

It was really fun to have an entire day to ourselves to catch up, spend time together in the car without a video playing, or music that involved xylophones or someone asking for gum, sippie cups or asking to go to the potty the entire time.

Exactly what the doctor ordered.
