Truth be told, I am here because a friend lured me here.  This is the single best to find out what is happening in her life...at least the funny stuff.  So instead of pumping her innocent daughter every time I see her, I check out her blog and have a unique understanding of what is happening in her life.

I have three children that we can name Evangelist, WildMan and The Princess.  Can you tell which one is the baby girl?  Yah, she is the one with the curly hair to her waist and the attitude that goes with it.  It is hard to blame her...the lower lip trembles every so slightly and all the males in her life cave. 

Amoung Evangilist's qualities is the ability to say the truth...unflinchingly.  He is concerned about the things of God.  Even when he was four he wanted to be a missionary.  Sometimes he still does, but it is amazing what comes out of this child's mouth.  He has a new problem...girls chasing him and we will see how he handles the attention.

WildMan didn't speak until he was almost 4.  He would hide behind my legs and look at people like they were aliens.  Currently, adults that didn't know him then cannot imagine this child that shy and inept at expressing himself.  One minute he is a character from a movie, then he is a puppy wanting attention and then he could be just wild.

The Princess...well, I don't think she needs much introduction...

I am a Christian homeschooler at heart, but currently working outside the home.  My husband & I are diligently working to get me home, but then our sweet nanny would be out of a very lucrative job.  My kids have been afterschooled and are schooled through the summer and so know all kinds of stuff no one else finds nessessary, but they find it fasinating that my kids know ancient history and so much grammar! 

Maybe I'll start by describing my first date with my husband, packing emus...or the time Evangalist was crying in the car because he wasn't ready to leave for the mission field (he was 5)...or when WildMan hid under the table because he spilled his milk...or the lake flooding our campsite...or watching The Princess touch a frog...Some of it sad, but most of it fun!

I see the Fruits of the Spirit so well in other people - sometimes I wonder if they see them in me and so I want to show you and me the Fruits of the Spirit as I see it...sometimes I may be wrong, but sometimes I may be right...
