Hump Day thoughts!

Who is bigger today: the problem or the Problem solver. The sickness or the Healer. The lack or the Provider. The victim or the Victor. The sin or the Redeemer. The burden or the Load bearer. The prison or the Deliverer. The thing is, we get to decide who is magnified in our lives.

I am just saying....

MUSA Out!

Question of the Day?

It is not about gifts or the calling on my life. Those things have been there since before the foundation of the earth. For me the question is: Do I have enough character to go to the next level? What flaws are there in me that prevent me from progressing any farther in Him. His love is without condition but His trust has to be earned.... I am just saying.... Something to think about!

Change is constant!

Well with all the news going on around our church lately it is almost becoming anti-climatic when another big announcement comes. I have come to expect it. Don't get me wrong, all the things that are happening are exciting and fresh, but even when I had no idea what was coming, when announced I was like yeah that figures. Look it is my desire to be a part of something much bigger than me and I believe that I am. One of my favorite sayings: If you aren't the lead dog, the view doesn't change! Well I am not the lead dog and I do not have a desire to fill that role. But I do have a responsibility to pull my share of the weight. So I am strapped in and it is my intention to help the LEAD DOG pull this sled and fulfill the next phase of the vision of our house.

Hang on People, its about to get even more crazy around here.

A Man's work is NEVER done!

What you see before you is just about ever stitch of clothing we own. Who is responsible for conquering this mountain of clothes???? You guessed it.... ME! Good thing the NFL draft is on. Should finish with the laundry just about the time the draft ends.... Tomorrow.

Friday night highlights!

Well this has been a long week.

1. Working on another school upgrade project for a middle school.... Those teachers need combat pay to put up with so many knuckle heads...
2. I received some "fashion advice" from a co-worker on who really was in NO position to be giving any themselves.
3. I went to lunch with my son at his school in an attempt to spend some quality time with him. I saw him all of about 10 minutes. I guess my mere presence at a school function was quality enough for him?
4. I sat at a baseball for 2 1/2 hours only to watch the game end in a 1 to 1 tie....
5. While in the midst of that school upgrade I literally saw every kid that has played a sport with my son or one that I coached at one school.
6. Watched "Working Girl" with Melanie Griffin on Lifetime and Helen was NOT in the room. Why, you ask??? Just because I needed a good cry.
7. I found a new combo of meds to help prevent my loud snoring..... Helen was really excited.
8. Mowed the grass... John Deere power OH YEAH!

Saturday plans

1. Wash all the clothes
2. Fold the clothes
3. Watch the NFL Draft ( preferable while folding clothes)
4. Sleep late
5. Send Helen out shopping with her mother.
6. Movie night with the kids.

That will do for now.

So it makes perfect sense....

This one will be short and sweet.... So today Helen takes Courtney to school with her because it was take your kid to work day at CFCI. Helen is a pre-school teacher and Courtney is in 2nd grade. Needless to say if you know my youngest child then this will make perfect sense. I asked how her day was and what it was like to spend the day in her mom's class. That is when the sly cheese eatin' grin came over her face as she proclaim how popular she was with the pre-school kids. They followed her all over the play ground during recess and when they went to play centers all the kids wanted to be at the center Courtney was responsible for. I summed her day up this way. Courtney got to be the center of attention and boss other people around....... She agreed and so did her mother. That's my girl!

The still quiet voice of God....

This post will not start out related to anything close to the title but just bare with me..... If you have kids then you know there are times in their lives when they loose their freaking minds. Today was one such day in which my two oldest kids decide for reasons beyond my comprehension to have a shouting match in the middle of the kitchen. In an effort to settle their differences, my eldest was showing just a "bit" of attitude. Insert sarcasm where ever you like. I was irritated to say the least at him and I began to let it show. Helen and I were trying to determine a proper punishment for him and his sister. It was while I drove them to school that Holy Spirit spoke to me concerning him. Believe it or not but my boy can have a temper at times and he doesn't always know how to handle it or express himself in the right way. With that being said his heart is tender. I had a choice to feed the angry frustrated part of my son or the tender hearted side. So once we arrived to school and the girls had gotten out of the car, I told him to hang on a minute and I simply told him that I loved him and what happened that morning wouldn't dictate how his day went. He agreed and said thanks.... That was about it.

Raising kids isn't easy, but it is necessary!
