Jeb's Vocation and Random Thoughts and Random Old Pics...

Random thoughts and a change of vocation for Jeb----

A while back while I was carrying Jeb to church and Daddy was serving I was asking him what he would do to serve God when he was older…like…nursery, singing, greeting, etc…He quickly quipped, “Mom, I am going to be the preacher.” Of course, I had forgotten that. So, then the other day when riding by the church Jeb noticed the cars there and wondered why people were there. I listed off all the folks that work there throughout the week and what they do. His reply, “You mean the preacher works all week?” I said, of course…and rattled off all the other jobs the preacher has to do. He said, “Well, then I am going to go back to being a teacher since they have summers off to camp and be with their families.” His calling to preach God’s word quickly evaporated, huh? Teaching is a great idea…I do hope it happens.

Random Thoughts…

I have been thinking of a great verse to be THE VERSE for Thanksgiving this year...think I found it...
Psalm 116: 12-13 How can I repay the Lord for all His acts of kindness to me? I will celebrate my deliverance and call on the name of the Lord." I like that one.



I wish I did not have to pee all the time. I feel like it is such a pain to have to stop what I am doing all the time and pee! I can’t wait till heaven when I have a normal size bladder! Hee! Does that mean one is too busy when going to the bathroom is a real inconvenience???

Why is the only place I seem to be able to “shop” is Wal-Mart…how depressing…I am telling myself that it is just a season in life and I will be NORMAL again one day…but they do indeed have all you need in life…except Oreo cookie pie crusts...how annoying…

Why is it feast or famine with the rain?

Why do high school students sign up for college classes and then want to be treated like high school students (coddled and spoon-fed)…and then they are really not willing to do college-level work OR invest the time to succeed in college…??? They should just stay in high school if that is what they want!

Why do some people major on minor things…??? Seriously, time could be better spend doing other things…

Why are people actually proud when they say they are never home..they are just so busy…why is being busy something to be proud of?? Strange world…No doubt most ALL people are busy…that can be left unsaid…YET somehow all people (and me too) find time to watch mindless TV and put their kids into things that have no eternal significance YET have TONS of time devoted to dumb stuff..…huummmm…. I love being home some most days (even though J calls me the not-so stay-at-home mom)...I love HOME...it is where all the people and things are that you love most and I treasure the days I don't go anywhere, but can just bask in this place.

Do other Moms feel guilty about not doing fundraisers?? I hate those things and I don’t do them….charge me more if you want…but I don’t do fundraisers. AND I probably will never be in the PTA …just not may calling.

My husbands priorities are just not mine most days..our honey do lists may never be the same??

I have an attachment to bacon and a blanket on my bed b/c they remind me of my grandparents' home. Yes, I love bacon. Many folks find it awkward that a girl would love meat the way I do. Yes, I like good steak when I eat out, I love sausage and I adore bacon on anything.

Why is the wind always blowing when you are near water?

Pastor Greg say that the difference between the church and a country club is that a country club exists to serve it's members....in the church, the members exist to serve the church.

Remember Mark 10:45
"For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

I ordered the book "Adopted for Life: The Priority of Adoption for the Local Church." I can't wait to read it...If you don't buy books at Half.com you are crazy. The books there are never over about 6-10 bucks...even new ones! I also got
"For Parents Only", "Every Woman's Marriage," and "Every Man's Marriage." Thinking of our next small group...

I have always wondered about praying things in advance and thanking God for things in advance since you really don't know if that is God's will..but then again you believe God will answer prayers by FAITH. But I found this verse today about calling things not as they are but as though they were...Romans 4:17--the end of the verse....
