He Said, She Said

We have been talking a lot lately about Anna Brooke's husband. Now don't get worried. She doesn't have one picked out yet!

But, we pray regularly for our children's spouses and their familes.

As well as their friends and their families.

As well as anybody they seem to look up to.

So, there's been much dialogue around here about poor Anna Brooke's husband. Right now, he's proud that he hit a homerun in the game of backyard baseball.

And so unsuspecting of what lies ahead for him.

I am praying he will be the most patient thing that has every come up against her. I know that this means the little guy will have endured a lot of trial before he ever meets her. But, trust me, he will need all the patience he can get a hold of. And then some more.

Anyway, over the weekend I heard this conversation:

Daddy: Luke, are you going to help Anna Brooke find a husband one day?

Luke: Oh, yes, Daddy, he's going to be my best friend.

Daddy: Are you going to tell him about these times when y'all were little and all the things she used to do to you?

Luke: YES, DADDY, I'M GONNA TELL 'IM ALL ABOUT HOW SHE USED TO MOVE MY STUFF IN MY ROOM AND ABOUT THE TIMES SHE KILLED MY FISH. SHE DUMPED ALL THE FOOD INTO THE TANK AND HE DIED. (holding up two fingers) TWO TIMES!!!!!!!

Daddy: Well, Luke are you going to help him know how to be a good husband for Anna Brooke?

Luke: Yes, Daddy, HE'S GONNA NEED SOME HELP!


I am going to say in Anna Brooke's defense that she will make a fine wife and Mommy one day. But her husband is going to need to be patient. And I am thankful that the LORD knows already. I can't wait to meet him.

On Valentine's Day 2007 Patrick and I decided that we would not get each other a gift. This was the first time we had made such a deal. I did pick up a card for him and filled it out. Valentine's Day was on a Wednesday and we really didn't see each other much until after church that night. He came home exhausted. We had our little family of five all together in the Family Room and I handed him his card. I had signed it the way I usually do with an extra note on the very bottom: P. S. Baby Boy due to arrive in September. (Now, I didn't know for sure he was a boy, but I had a feeling) Patrick FELL INTO THE FLOOR!! Fast forward 7 months. I was very busy getting ready to open WEE Love Academy, the weekday preschool ministry at church. I was thinking that I would get the Preschool started a few weeks then the baby would come. Well, Preschool started on Tuesday, September 4, 2007. It was a great day and I came home energetic! I thought nothing of it just busied m...

Pretty...

Hello There! There is something that has bothered me for years. I have begun to do better, and encouraged others to change their ways. This is it... Why do people almost always compliment little girls on their appearance first? Little girls are held to a higher standard in regard to their appearance and little boys are held to a very low standard regarding their behavior. This baffles me. I know you've heard it, probably even done it.  What's the first thing most people say to a little girl? "You're so pretty!" "Your dress is so pretty!" Why not compliment how compassionate & respectful she is because you just witnessed her let an older person get on the elevator first? Brave because you see the band-aid on her arm from a doctor visit? Smart...maybe she has a book in her hand! Funny...did she just tell the best joke you've heard all week? Creative...does she have an ornate hairstyle?  Or an outfit you would have never ...
