Day 2

Well it's been a few days since I posted anything. We have been really involved in many things going on. My daughter and her family were here a few days and boy does that change things up. It is a delight to have them over. We have so much fun with them playing, chasing, tickling, teasing and watching their expressions and responses as they learn. We can never get enough of them. 
The babies are our grand-babies. River will be 1 year old in 5 days and Roman is 3. 
Having children that young around, our schedule is adjusted differently than what has become normal for us. It takes a different type of expectations and schedule for the littles because their needs are so many and become priority. 
Yes, that does mean sacrifice. Oh wait that is the meaning of parenting isn't it? Ha! Who knew parenting would be described as sacrifice and work. The rewards are so much greater than what the sacrifices are and also last much longer. I love being a parent. 
I have enjoyed watching all of our children grow and become productive adults. Some are still getting there. We still have an 18 yr old and 10 yr old at home. The 18 yr old is discovering what adulting means. Some days he enjoys it and some days he wants to just crawl back to a few years ago when life wasn't so demanding. I could probably join him too and I understand how he feels.

    Growing up is one sacrifice after another. You sacrifice naptime when you get to a certain age, you sacrifice playing with friends for homework. You sacrifice friday nights at the movies to work a job so you can buy a car. You sacrifice buying that really cute pair of boots so you can pay your first light bill. You sacrifice time spent frivoulously to build a relationship sith your new spouse. You sacrifice sleep to care for your new baby.... And on and on..... That last part reminds me of the oh so popular phrase, "I don't want to adult today."

He Fights to Destroy!!

                                                              Fight what you can't see. Do you ever feel like you are having to fight something you don't see to make things happen? Do you seem to have a struggle of some kind each time you attempt to progress your life forward or to follow the things of God?  You know the world around you doesn't always want you to succeed. There are many different challenges we face whose purpose is to prevent us from knowing who we are and to keep us from finding what our skills are. There are so many different things that present themselves to us that would like to be "the real thing". The thing that is "truth" and that we can say "hey this is what I base my principles and life on as guidelines to set the standard for my values and decisions, and it is right." When we look at the options, we can get so confused and discouraged and not know what is true and what is not. We could spend a lifetime

How Super is Super-Man

Super-Man has so much trouble with his decisions. He had no Alfred or Jarvis, but he sometimes listened to Batman or his current sidekick. His sidekicks were temporary, and he usually turns away those that offer to help him on a long-term basis. Except for his dog, Krypto. He acts like he needs only himself but comes up short each time. Lois Lane has him wrapped around her finger, so he does crazy stuff for her that benefits only her and gets others killed or injured. He does not think clearly when it comes to her. Superman needs a consistent friend that can be there and put up with his foolishness and pride. Even more than the Justice League. He has them trying to help him figure out this human thing. He had an identity crisis for most of his life. Sound familiar? We as earthlings find ourselves dealing with this as well. The world is constantly telling us who we are or whom we are supposed to be. The Holy Spirit is the Word of God. He is alive and will speak to us to tell u
