Well, I had a glass of Coke yesterday at 1 and my mind has been
racing ever since. Sheesh. Late 20's is not all it's cracked up to be.
So we have this once a month fellowship and refreshing service at our
place Sunday night at 5. Our target group? College and Career. Now
what the heck does that mean? People go to college forever....
Richy has just said we won't put an age cap on it, as long as you're
out of high school. Pretty fun, I expect. When we did a group like
this before, it was one of my favorites. It's weird, as we get older,
our age range expands. We started doing ministry at 16 and 17 to
junior high-highschoolers. Graduated, got married (almost
simultaneously) and it became junior high-college age-ish. Then it
was "young adults". Then we added 20-somethings. Now we're college
and career, but Radiant really covers all those bases when they
travel. So here I am. 27. A young adult 20 something college and
career age young family gal.... and at least a 40 year old soul.
I miss doing ministry. I was glad to get out of it after I lost the
twins (June 2004) but now I am actually feeling excited about laying
hands on people. Not so much making intense discipleship
relationships.... yet. But just praying for people and blessing them.
So that's already exciting.
Also very exciting - Toby can roll from his stomach to his back now.
I feel like he's won the Pulitzer. I am inordinately proud of this
accomplishment. He just WHIP flips himself over whenever he wants!
Does this mean I have to move him out of the bassinet?? I'm
considering it but if he has to sleep in his crib I will really miss
him. (Sigh)
The MOG woke up before 6:30 yesterday and prayed and so forth... and
he liked it so he planned to do the same today. After 3 snooze
alarms, the alarm clock is now turned off. It was a short streak.

Gee JESS
All the night owls will win...
Here lately I am out like a light by 8:30p....
I am so proud of Tobias...he is such an kewl baby. I am excited for you Jessica, getting "out there" again.
Jewel will appear if we talk to her.. She is excited about checking the blog everyday but just a tad bit shy still.
You know how these newcomers can be!
Hi Jewel.....
Preciouse Jewel!
Okay okay,,,,,,so if I make a comment and set my alarm for 11:59p and run in here and click on "login and publish" then I might be first....If I miss that opportunity, then I can always sit around and be late for work and wait for Jessica to mosey on over to the computer and make the morning post and then jump on.
Is that about it?
Grasshopper!
yes...
normally I haven't even posted by now... so this is feelin pretty slow...
but you get money for it. that's the beauty of work.
He's going to flip the bassinet. This is so funny.
hey Matt, are you here?
Oh, it funny that he'll flip the bassinet huh. . . well then how about I call CPC and tell them you think it's funny!!!?? How funny will it be then?
and.... he's on his back.
the Center for Plant Conservation?? oh, please don't!
No, the Center of Prolonged Constipation, excessive flipping of children under 6 months can cause proloooooooooooonged constipation.
(this is a joke)
bd - what is your guy fixing to do in that picture?
jewel- it is a stage. have some coffee!
i thought a moon was on the horizon, bd
or just standing around like du du du der
or he could be about to pull out some six shooters, whip around, and give you some.
daniel
you need a new pic. i'm tired of that one
Jessica- that is great that Toby is already flipping over. Sounds like a lot of fun watching him rock the bassinet as he whips over. Also, great to hear you talking about ministry again.
i am so prosthetic. check yer email
Good morning..
I'll be on for about 10 or 15 minutes.. then going to my friend's house & see her 6 wk old girl.
Matt's pic makes me think of: he is in line, can't see anyone in front of him
On the subject, I dislike driving behind SUV's & wide or tall trucks.. it's hard to tell if traffic will be suddenly stopping. I don't like stopping fast, uncomfortable on the neck.. & nerves : ) I like to see around short cars & through their windows for braking cars to give me the heads up to start slowing.
(this has been an insight into Shannon's brain)
daniel, that is
thanks, Josh.
I was reading some old RG emails I sent out this morning... I don't even remember being that passionate. But I'm glad I saved the emails
Shannon!
Put up your shower and maternity pics!
The people want to see!
A couple days ago, I was returning from the store & was caught in part of rush hour.. I was looking & longing for the car pool lane in a whole new way.. knowing that it could be used by me pretty soon, once my little one is in his car seat.
We strapped the base into the car last weekend.. it looked SO ODD to be putting one in MY car!! Wow, life will be different, yet so special. Can't wait to see him!!
Ya, I want to get them on my blog tonight.. we weren't able to the last couple nights.
Sooorry D :
They're adorable, I'm so glad I got them done, & that God blessed us with the lady noticing me at church & getting to be her low-price-practice gal..
toby's sleeping. I should probably take one of them whatchamacallits but I may never get the phone line back...
Now lets discuss what Daniel's new picture makes you think.
Better than BD’s pic, it depicts the emotions and turmoil and Pain that is wrapped up in having horrible Gas. (stealing from Daniel's own words)
But, I do like the new pic.
Hey Jewel,
2 year olds are learning that they can make decisions and change things. He just wants to spread his wings.
You have two great chidlins and Caleb is learning to be an independant little man..for some reason, defiance is part of the process.....Having a strong will is a great characteristic.
He will be an awesome MOG someday.
He will also learn to obey. Obeying parents is a big part of being able to obey GOD later on. We relate one to the othe.
I struggled with rebellion forever.
We want our kids to obey us because they love us...not because they are afraid of us.
:0)
Jeg elsker dig!
Jewel- Also, something I’m learning from Christian parenting books I’m reading. At the age Caleb is right now (18 months to 3 years), it’s very important that he bond with Chuck. He needs to come less under your “smothering” motherly care and Chuck needs to be more involved. He needs to identify that he is a man and look to his father for guidance on become and grown man, and a Godly man. (I’m not saying that you’re really smothering him, this is just how growing boys start feeling after a while). Don’t be hurt by him wanting and needing Chuck more, it’s a good thing for him to identify with the men in his life.
They say this is the most important step in preventing “gender confusion”, which is a precursor to homosexuality. It is also just part of the boy becoming a man. Looks for ways for Chuck to be involved and encourage him with it.
Jess- I know what you mean about reading old RG stuff. I don’t think I’ve lost much passion, but wow, when I read some of the RG e-mails and things, it just stirs things in me. I’m glad I’ve kept things also.
"you're a. . fakerrr, and you know it, trying to get arrround. you're a. . fakerrrr, and you've shown it."
Name that old band.

Ok Georgia, I think we got it the first time!
We are going to have a bake sale at TFH, but Lacy is also taking orders for individuals.
LOL I dont know how it did that.
Thanks, Jennifer. It was 1983 so we looked a lot younger especially Jessica in the corner there with her birthday hat.
Call me prophetic. I just felt there was going to be a bake sale
We might take the leftovers from the bake sale to CTK later, not sure about that.
