Welcome to My Blog!


Schooling two active boys has never been more... interesting. That's the word I'm looking for! I love my boys! God has given them the blessing of strong, active bodies and minds. We continually pray the first will remain intact, and the second will remain engaged with Him first, and then the school work. You'll meet my sweet sons, both entirely different, but both loving God to the best of their ability in the way He made them. I lovingly refer to them as my Bell Pepper Boy and my Habanero or Hambone. That should say it all! This blog is an eclectic mix. The events, conversations, and the thoughts behind it all will be in here. Every once in a while I'll try to capture something I don't want to forget. I hope you find things you enjoy. Please let me know if you do! Blessings!

April and Fools. . .

Posted in God Things
I was tempted. Ohhhhh, was I tempted to try a quick April Fool's Day gag! I mean, one day a year we can try to pull the wool over our friends' eyes and it's somewhat culturally acceptable and cool. Right?

If yesterday had been a different day, I might have attempted something today in the Blog Universe. However, it was all I could muster to make frozen pizza for breakfast served with cold, green milk. Yeah, green was the color that fell out of the food coloring box first.  *laugh*  So, your expectation of a "funny" today just won't happen.

Are you okay with that?  :'P

Here's my entry instead. You see, I personally needed a little time in the Bible to calibrate my heart and mind this morning (almost afternoon). So, lucky you, here is the fruit of my labor.  *grin*

"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline." ~ Proverbs 1:7

"How long will you simple ones love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?" ~ Proverbs 1:22

"The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice."  ~ Proverbs12:15

"A wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down." ~ Proverbs 14:1
It's the last one there that gets my attention today. I am forced to ask myself if I am building up or tearing down. Each thought, word and action I choose is one or the other, I imagine.

Hmmmmm.

Note to self: Day One of the 30-Day Challenge is underway! (What have you read today?)

I thought I'd keep a running log of my Bible reading on my 30 day post. I thought it would be accountability for myself. I usually read the Bible 4-5 days a week, but not for 15 minutes. Wow, I got a lot read this morning! I'm reading through Acts and drawing a cloud around "Holy Spirit" every time I come across it. Wow!
Blessings,
Laurie

My oldest keeps a scripture journal, and we just started doing word study with it. It is amazing to me, that the few words in a single verse can have so many applications, and inspire so much thought! Today was Hebrews 13:6. It took us quite a while to get through it all!

Jennifer,
You GO girl! =) I like your note to yourself!

I'm so excited about what God has in store for each of us this month through this Bible reading challenge. What book of the Bible will you be reading in? I'm in Philippians.

I am glad the milk was not green because of natural causes! Or was it left over from St. Patrick's day? I am reading the Psalms this month. I read 145 yesterday. Today I am reading 21. Feel free to check on me and hold me accountable!
