Two Questions

Here are two very random questions that are floating around in my brain today...

1. Is it correct to call Barack Obama an "African American" when his Mama was white?

2. How does dirt get in the silverware tray when all you put in there is clean silverware? (that one has always puzzled me.)

Do any of you have any wisdom on either of these two questions? I would love to hear your thoughts.

Today's devo scripture

I would like to tell you what this scripture means to me today, but then I'd be late getting to work, and that probably wouldn't go over very well. :-) Nevertheless, I want to share this scripture. I'll let the Word speak for itself.

Romans 15:4
"Whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope."

You Take My Breath Away

As odd as it sounds...
as goofy as it sounds...
as old as it makes me sound...

this is the song that I'm worshipping with today. This is the song that is playing over and over again in my mind. I have not heard, or thought of it in years, but the nearness of God today, for some reason, has brought it to mind.

You can go ahead and laugh now :-)

Summer of 2008

It is so hard to believe that the kids are starting school tomorrow! I took this moment in time to capture a few pictures from our summer, and made them into a video.

A Big Day For Josh

This past weekend was an exciting one for Joshua. We finally turned him loose on the 4-wheeler. On his first go around, he nearly ran over his Mama, and there have been a couple of near misses with the dog. But other than that, he's doing amazing. :-) After a couple times around the yard, he was handling it like a pro. It's been fun watching him ride...I've just learned to stand on the porch instead of in the yard! :-)

I love this closeup picture that Denny took...
