Wrong Decade?

Posted on April 17, 2012 at 10:44 pm by David

The question continues to pop up from time to time. After reading the paper, which I try to stay away from most day, it is clear. I get my news from the sources I choose. After interacting with people it is clear. After watching tv for a short period of time it is clear. After flipping through the radio dial, very quickly, it is clear.

We are living in the wrong decade! I think I would be ok with going back to the 1800s. My wife may be thinking more of the early 1900s? Not sure.

Yes I know God has us here and now for a reason. I do not discount that one bit. I was born here and now, not as an accident, but part of God’s providential plan. I will accept it and honor Him in all that I do. I will carry myself and lead my family in the world but not of the world.

What decade do you think you would be better suited for?

Chic Fila Sauce – that is all

I’m done with doctors for awhile. I went for a physical and blood work last week. That was the first time in twelve years that I have been to the doctor. I would be ok with waiting another 12 years to go back.

Last tests came back good as well! Praise God!

I love my wife!

It’s spring time and with this wonderful weather comes the dreaded yard work.

This crazy cat doesn’t calm down at night. He likes to hunch his back and hop sideways on all fours all the way across the room at me.

The beach trip has been scheduled! Everyone had their questions about the place we were staying. The most important one came from B3. “Does it have a parking garage?”

Don’t forget to vote this year. Make sure you read the ballot correctly. Early voting starts Thursday.

We had a missionary family at our church last night from Romania. They had a young adopted daughter who was autistic that sang The Old Rugged Cross. She has a brain tumor and they are waiting for her citizenship to go through before she can have surgery. Please keep her and the family in your prayers.

I’m sad to see the boys grow, but I know it is a necessity. We might as well enjoy it right? This includes giving them tasks like grinding stumps and washing cars.

I was carrying B4 to get her shower the other night. Everyone was sitting on the bed when I picked her up and she gave them a look and said quietly, “Hey, you wanna fight?”

I guess a princess needs to know how to take care of herself.

B3 and B4 were playing ball the other night. B3 announced that they were now playing dodge ball. “Hey B4, I’m going to dodge you with they ball!”

We have gotten to Romans, one of my favorite books of the Bible in our family Bible reading.

Have a great week!

Picture Update

I’ve been keeping these pictures on my phone the past few weeks. It was about time to share them.

If you don’t have a holster for your hammer, you have to improvise!

If B5 gets bored he will flat fall asleep on you.

B3 asked me how to spell George Washington the other night. I played along and spelled it for him. I just thought he was scribbling along while I was giving him the letters. Then he showed me his pictures. Needless to say I was surprised!

Don’t tell your little girl to go wash her hands. Thanks goodness she didn’t use the toilet to wash her hands, but the hand towel was in the washing machine. So, she took what was left, toilet paper.
