Why Christians always know what to do...

"I am troubled now. Yet what should I say?

'Father, save me from this hour'?

But it was for this purpose that I came to this hour.

Father, glorify your name."

Joseph's Art House

He swept it out...

Made himself a sign...

...and moved in!  He now keeps talking about trying to find a way to attach a potty onto the playhouse.  

What do you do on a cloudy day?

Note Benjamin's stylishly short pants.  Joseph seems to be having quite a jolly time fighting with an invisible man as well.

Best Line of the Day...

Benjamin: "In my world, everyone has google bodies"

Later On...

Me: "Benjamin in your world does everyone have google bodies?"

Benjamin (while completely absorbed in his computer game): "No."

Me: "No?"

Benjamin: "In my world, everyone has google heads and regular human bodies... with no arms."

Rainy Monday

Joseph is beginning to clean out the play house today to convert it into his art/prayer house.  I don't feel like doing anything really today except napping- which I spent most of my morning doing.  Benjamin keeps reminding me that he loves me and always wants to cuddle.  They both keep reminding me how good and simple life is and how caught up I am sometimes in the stuffy paper details.  I'm glad I'm at home, being at a college for too long really grinds you down. But  "...this momentary light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison" 2 Cor. 4:17

Birthday Party No. 2

Ironically, the angelfood cake that was so lovingly beaten by hand for me on my real birthday turned out better than the one I made today with an electric mixer. It could be due to the fact that I didn't really use a recipe, or that I think I deflated the egg whites when I was folding in the flour at the end... in any case, the bread knife I used to cut it worked better than any knife I've ever used. That knife is magical- it's so slick and I got it at the thrift store for $2.50. God is so interesting!

Saturday

Sunny Weekend

It's March!  God blessed me so much with this house.  What a peaceful sight to wake up to!

"... Conduct yourselves with reverence... realizing that you were ransomed from your futile conduct... not with perishable things like silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ..."

-1 Pt. 1:17-19
