Hannah Funny

One Saturday morning Chris is hanging out with the kids without his shirt on. No big deal. Happens all the time.

Well, Chris was sitting down on the floor and Hannah wanted him to get up and do something or see something or play something or ..... something. Well, Chris said that he would come but she has to pick him up off the floor.

Hannah just looked at him and said "Yuck. No Daddy. I can't pick you up. You have lots of hair under there!"

(You know we pick Hannah and Justus up under their arms!)

He He He He Ha Ha Ha

That just cracked me up!

2 Peter

Mr Danny had some wonderful lessons on Sunday and these are a couple of scriptures that have been on my heart from 2 Peter since then.

1:18-21
And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain. And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in hearts; knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

3:15-18
... consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation - as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures. You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

Proverbs

Before Chris and I went to sleep the other night I was looking thru my Bible and I started reading all the Proverbs out loud that I had underlined. Here are some of our favorites.

1:7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,

2:6 For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;

3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and he shall direct your paths.

6:16-19 These six things the lord hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.

7:4 Say to wisdom, "You are my sister," and call understanding your nearest kin,

10:3 The Lord will not allow the righteous soul to famish,

12:1 Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.

12:4 An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, but she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones.

13:24 He who spares his rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him promptly.

15:3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.

16:31 The silver-haired head is a crown of glory, if it is found in the way of righteousness.

18:24 A man who has friends must himself be friendly, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

19:15 Laziness casts one into a deep sleep, and an idle person will suffer hunger.

20:13 Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty;

21:23 Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from troubles.

22:2 The rich and the poor have this in common, the Lord is the maker of them all.

22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.

23:7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.

27:4 Wrath is cruel and anger a torrent, but who is able to stand before jealousy?

29:17 Correct your son, and he will give you rest; yes, he will give delight to your soul.

31:30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord, she will be praised.

Seriously Sleepy

One morning I took the kids to the Rec Center and they played while I exercised. Afterwards I took them to the park to play. Needless to say they were pretty tired when we got home. Justus had actually fallen asleep in the car.

I really really like for them to have lunch before their nap so they both lay down at the same time and the routine stays in tact, if you know what I mean.

Well, Justus' eyes were open by the time he was in the house and I was telling him we still needed to eat lunch before he went down for his nap. I sat him up in the living room, with his eyes open. He simply just leaned forward and fell right back to sleep - literally!!!!

Yes, after I took the pictures I moved him. No need to worry!

Battle Hymn!

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never sound retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat.
O be swift, my soul, to answer Him, be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Our God is marching on.

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in the bosom that transfigures you and me;
As he dies to make men holy, let us teach to make men free;
While God is marching on.

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
While God is marching on.

Betrothed


No need to call them Justus and Layne.

Just refer to them as Simba and Nala.

Betrothed.

I have claimed her for him since before she was born. And I think they are starting to see it already. Very early on! She is only 8 months younger than he is. It could work.

2 things you do need to know about this betrothal..

#1
I am the only parent involved that has openly and verbally agreed to this betrothal.

#2
I do realize this doesn't really work. Just let me dream, please!

Yes, Hannah is also betrothed and, yes, the previous two points apply to that betrothal also!
