over breakfast

one of my morning things is to have music on in the kitchen. i honestly don't know why because there is enough commotion but i guess it makes me feel better. princess has quite the passion for music - klove in particular. the other morning, a song came on that talked about having one life to live...

here's the conversation that followed:

princess: mom, there is something i don't understand with that song.

me: what is that?

p: why does it say we have one life if we have 2? one here on earth and one in heaven?

me: well, we do have 2 lives, but we only have one chance to make a difference.

p: huh?

me: well, when we get to heaven it will be too late to tell others about Jesus. we only get the chance to do that with our life here on earth.

p: so, only the people who know Jesus will live in heaven?

me: yes, that is why it is so important to tell people about Jesus.

p: (after a few moments of silence) i'm so glad my friends all love Jesus too!!

with that she bounced off the stool and took off:)

hhmm....makes you stop and think huh?

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
