well folks- this blog almost died… after the summer I went back to work and this poor lil’ new baby blog suffered from left-alone-ness. Sadly going back to work meant that I had absolutely NO time to blog and then I forgot my password and such not, which made it even worse for when I realized that I did have a moment to blog. So here we are and in some photos I would like to show you our crazy life from September to now… November (YIKeS!).

King’s Homecoming Game 2011 (My first HC Game after graduating…. thats dating myself!)

Halloween

Recently I discovered that my son will probably be one of those boys. What is a “one of those boys”? Well, after working at a preschool for 7 years, I’ve seen plenty come and go- they are the boys who keep their Mama’s on their feet 24 hours a day, but not in the bad way, not in a “Who has Johnny bit now?” or a “How did Johnny break it?” Oh no, these boys are the kind that are sweet and loving, but are curious and don’t always restrain that curiosity.

As I sat at my computer, my son playing on the ground next to me, I hear “rawk” in a soft quiet voice… I hear it over and over again until I give a tiny look in his direction. I have to be slow and quick in my looks cause those moments are fleeting, especially once he knows I am looking in his direction. To my eyes I see this adorable boy, blond short hair (yes we cut it), sitting only in his “big boy” shorts, no rolls just a solid little boy… and then I see the finger trying to enter his nose. It missed here and there, but finally I decided to get his attention “What are you doing?” his reply “rawk” and then he shows me on his tiny finger is a much tinier black little rock that he found on the floor- then he attempts to shove his finger up his nose (again and misses)…My son is likely to be one of those boys who will shove something up one of the many holes in their cute bodies, and I will likely be the mom that is kept on my toes all the time wondering which Urgent Care to take him to this time.

Thats my boy.

Yes- today I am going to talk about adultery, but not in the way you may have thought of it. I have been going through Matthew (from the bible- just in case you didn’t follow) for some time now… this is actually my 3rd time this year, and each time I come back with something different. In my reading today, Jesus was talking about adultery (Mat 5:27-30) and in my study I have 3 categories I go through- 1st look at the words, what words stick out to you, 2nd- what is the meaning, and 3rd- Ask questions (I learned this wonderful way of studying through the women’s bible study at The Grove).

So adultery, I am starting my lesson today and saying to myself “Really? I am a good wife- I don’t sleep around, why must I read this today” and as I grunted along reading and writing I began to think differently (God works in mysterious ways). My question (for step 3) was “Could we be considered adulterers when we have an idol?” As the bride of Jesus Christ, when we have idols in our lives does that mean we are actually cheating on God? YES! I hadn’t thought about adultery like this before- and I am sure it is not an original thought, but to me it is and I just had to share it with any of you who read this.

Don’t be a hater, don’t be a cheater, don’t be an adulteress!
