Today at the church staff picnic i was pushing William Shorey on the swings and he told me a story. Here it is.
"Once upon a time there were four dogs. Lassy, Timmy, Boomer, and Mike. And they were all working. And then a girl dog came and Mike got scared and ran into a bush. And he didnt't see the rock and tripped into a big hole.
Then Lassy ran away.
When Timmy and Boomer found Mike in the hole they ran back to their house and got rope. Then they came back as fast as they could to get Mike out. They lowered the rope and got Mike out.
Then Lassy came home. And their parents were very happy.
Then they all ate lunch and went back to work.
THE END!"

:O
So I just about went to bed without posting... :O But somehow I remembered! Since Stevie missed the one day unless I miss a day I will win! (even though this is really an activity rather than a game) This "activity has really helped me with writing. It has made writing more natural. We are hoping to make this an annual or something like that. But when we get the details we will share them. I am hopping :O. I am hoping to have at least 3 more people participate next time :). Yeah, we only have 8 days left though in this month :O. Wow, so many :O moments in this post. Maybe I will make that the title :O. I like this emoticons :O. ~@~ :O (g-chatters will understand that one :) )
Well I must sleep now.
Emoticon of the day: :O

10 Things I like about Garbage bags
So i had no idea what to post about today, so i went here http://www.generatorland.com/glgenerator.aspx?id=122 and had it pick a topic. It chose 10 Things I Like About Garbage Bags. Here goes nothing,
1) They hold trash. i mean if you think about it, if they didn't hold trash then we would have to! :O
2) They are.... good.... for..... suffocation! :D
3) They are portable.
4) They are made in different sizes. If they were all one size then we'd all have the same old boring trash cans, but no! We can have different trash cans cause they come in different sizes!
5) They are somewhat cheap.
6) They are easy to use, and quite simple to figure out.
7) Some release a smell that kills trash odor.
8) Some stretch so you can put almost anything in there.
9) They are the perfect size so that they are never to heavy. :D
10) They present a great challenge when trying to list 10 things i like about them!
So there it is, 10 things i like about Garbage bags... yes i was getting quite desperate towards the end :P.
OH! And i saw this car, and the model on the back was an XD but on the back the x was smaller so it looked like this xD! xD

The Pride Before The Storm
Pride goes before destruction,
and a haughty spirit before a fall.
(Proverbs 16:18 ESV)
This verse is one that we have all grown up, like a John 3:16 or Genesis 1:1. But for me i understood it in a vague way. And that is because my understanding of Pride was very shallow. See for me this verse was more like, when someone says there are gonna win a game they will lose or if someone says they are the best something embarrassing will happen. Thats because my definition of pride was similar to boasting but that was it.
See Pride is manifest in all sin, as Christians there must be a level of pride to sin. We know what is right and what God calls us to do, yet when we sin we are must first think it is in someway right to it. We are forgetting God and being prideful. C.J. Mahaney wrote in his book Humitlity about Pride saying, "Pride is when sinful human beings aspire to the status and position of God and refuse to acknowledge their dependence upon Him."
Now when i read that at first i said, "I dont do that!" But right i did it. See if sinning starts with pride, then by committing the sin we are doing what C.J. said. It's a scary thought but in no way can you sin without aspiring to the status and position of God and refusing to acknowledge your dependence upon Him. If you look at it you will see that in no way can you while sinning have a sense of your dependence on God. That is though until, by God's Grace alone, he reveals you sin. Then you see you dependence on him but not until then.
Now that we see that pride is manifest in all sin it is easier (at least for me) to see what this verse is saying. Pride, in this verse, is not just boasting but doing what C.J. said before doing something. You are putting yourself next to God and saying, "I know whats right" or "I can always stop if it gets to bad, i know what i am doing." And this is before the fall and destruction.
See Pride is in everything sinful and humility is what God wants us to seek. But without seeing pride we can not seek true humility. Seeing our pride is the first step to humility. Since it is in all sin one thing i try and do is when God gracefully reveals my sin to me, i try and see where pride is manifest.
I hope and pray we can all grow in the area of Pride. And by God's grace we will persevere through the condemnation we may feel seeing our sin and continually seek God, and stay in his word continually. Cause without being in God's word we cannot grow.
If you have any comments or thoughts please make them known. Any and ALL thoughts are welcome!! Thanks.

Flappy Father's Day
Well today is fathers day and i would like to appreciate all the fathers.
They have put up with us through many of our fits and such. They persevered through the terrible twos. And have helped us to grow up in the Gospel.
I would now like to list some things that might not be without our fathers and all they do.
1) well first and most important we wouldnt be here lol.
2) We wouldnt have....
a) a roof over our head
b) Clothes to look pretty in
c) enough food so we can snack all the time.
d) somewhere and something to sleep on.
e) food
f) someone to bring home the bacon.
3) We would be without most of our knowledge of Christ, the Gospel and what it means in our lives.
4) We wouldn't have someone to talk to and to have keep accountable
5) We wouldn't see the example of Christ love for his sons and daughters, that not all are lucky to grow up with.
6) Etc.
The list goes on and on. So from all of us kids, Thanks! And Flappy Fathers Day!
Peoples of the day: Fathers.

Why is LORD in all caps?
Have you every wondered this? Well i have been doing some research and found out why.
To find the first part of why we must go back to the story of Moses and the burning bush. Moses ask God his name and God answers, "I AM." Which in Hebrew is the word YHWH.
Now i mean, i had wondered what God means in this verse. When i would read this i would always be waiting for God to finish his sentence, I AM .... what? What needs to be added. But what is God trying to show us? I AM is not only a name, He is and that is all. Nothing needs to be added.
Now by Jesus' time the Jews believed that God's name(YHWH) was so holy that it was not to be uttered. And YHWH is now unpronounceable because the original pronunciation was lost in 70AD when the temple of Jerusalem was destroyed. (YHWH was rendered as YAhweh in the 16th century) So when translating every time YHWH came up the Jews rendered it change to LORD in all caps to distinguish that what was said what YHWH and keep his name holy.
I hope you are satisfied with this answer. And if you have any thoughts or objections or questions PLEASE STATE THEM. I would love to hear all your thoughts. Thanks!
