1. Heroes (the tv show) rocks my socks off. If only it weren’t quite so blood and guts gross. Brian has been waiting all summer for the first season to come out on DVD so that he can get me hooked on this show. It’s a good thing he’s watching them with me. He tells me when I can uncover my eyes.

2. Two-year-old boys are high maintenance. Period. If yours isn’t, give him a month or two. They’re fun, but don’t take your eyes off them. And never leave salt shakers unattended and within reach of little fingers. Or jars of sprinkles.

3. There is nothing sweeter than a child singing Bible memory verses. Especially when they can’t quite pronounce all the words correctly.

4. There are simply too many pieces of paper in my house. I was reminded yesterday, though, that organization is not an indication of a person’s intelligence. As a matter of fact, the opposite could be true. Seriously.

5. I think I want this book. (HT: The Christian Mind)

6. Solomon prayed a great prayer in 1 Kings 8 when he dedicated the temple. I especially like this part where he prays that the temple and God’s presence in it will draw foreigners to call out to God. I read it remembering that God now makes me (and you!) his temple. What an amazing thought - that He is making Himself known and even drawing others to Himself through His dwelling in us. Gives one paws pause.

7. I must have one of the most patient husbands in the world. I’m awfully glad that my simple-mindedness doesn’t make him run away screaming. Most days he doesn’t even mind that I treat him as my own personal computer geek guru.

8. When more than one person tells you long involved stories that include hardships and culminate in God’s grace in the midst of it, does it ever make you wonder what exactly God is preparing you for through those folks’ testimonies? I’m not afraid of what’s coming, but I’m just saying…

9. High School Musical 2 is so much fun. A6 just had a birthday and she received the cd. I can’t seem to get the songs out of my head. Even S2 loves them. Maybe I should be doing something to counter-act the overdose of girl drama he’s receiving on a daily basis. Then again, maybe all of this will just make him a good husband one day.

10. Posts like this are hard to know when to end. I could keep going, but I’ll be surprised if any of this really interests many of you. I was just kind of feeling bad for not posting in eons and this was the easiest way to organize my thoughts. Obviously, I might need professional help.
