Bible is a Tool

I saw this on FaceBook today and it really struck me as a great truth...

And it really made me want to dig even deeper... Spend even more time with God.

Proverbs 9:10

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

A Bible isn't a trophy to be placed on display. A Bible is a tool by which we live. I'm ready to live, are you?

Impending Illness

The boy has been a snotty, coughing mess for a couple of days now. And when he doesn't feel well we all suffer. The whining. The complaining. The coughing in my face despite numerous times of saying, "Bug, please cover your mouth."

And this afternoon... I'm not a happy camper as I am starting to feel the scratchiness in my throat and that familiar rundown feeling of an impending illness.

This is not a good thing!

I must hold it together! I must think only positive thoughts and will my body to not get sick!

And I really must find some way to get Bug to understand the nastiness of coughing in someone else's face...

Husbands, Pee, Crazy!

So my Husband is watching a show where a guy and his wife are stranded in the wild for about a week. In this particular episode they had no available water so the wife actually drank her husband's pee.

I know!!! Nasty!!!

So the Hubby asks me, "Babe, if you were stranded and had no water would you drink my pee?"

Yeah, I can't believe we actually had this conversation either. Baffling!!!

I looked at him in total disgust, because it's a disgusting subject, and quite clearly said, "NO!"

And you wouldn't believe this... He got offended!!

Seriously!!

Offended because I don't want to drink his pee - and this is all based on a hypothetical situation.

Good grief!

Game Over

I deleted two of my other blogs.  It felt freeing to let go.

The first one I deleted was my Fat Mom Thin blog.  Every time I looked at it I found myself getting angry. I felt like I was calling myself fat.  Like hey world, I am fat and I am just trying to get thin.  It was depressing!  I couldn't take it anymore so I deleted it.

The fact is, I was fat.  But I am not fat anymore and just that word in the blog title was like nails on a chalkboard to me.  I am still battling my weight.  I haven't reached my goal, but I went from 205 pounds down to 165 pounds - that is a 40 pound loss!  I am not fat anymore.

The second blog I deleted was my Blogging Obsession blog.  I have tried many times to revive that site, but I just can't find my groove for it.  Rather than feel obligated to do something with it, which only produces stress in me, I deleted it.

I'm happy about these choices.  I like this blog as my little space and I like my Momma's Time blog for all those reviews and giveaways and mommy things and I like my Educating My Children blog for all my homeschooling stuff.

Yep, this is making me a happy blogger.

Chop Chop

I whacked my hair off today.

I do that every so often.

I generally get to just about my shoulders before I can't take it anymore and I cut it off. That's what happened today. I just couldn't take it anymore so I had the gal cut it up to my chin.

Short hair just feels good. To me, it's freeing.

I don't go boy short - definitely not brave enough for that, but a nice bob does me well.
