This guy is really one of the coolest guys I've ever met. We went to see him at Nokia Theater for his "The Gods Aren't Angry" tour. He is so smart and so intellectual! Some of the things he said this time were things to think about but he kept repeating the gist of it all - "you don't have to live like this". Meaning, you don't have to live without Christ in your life. He is waiting for you with open arms to accept Him and thus start a never-ending relationship with Him. He also said that we fill our lives with so much that sometimes we forget to just "be" there. I do this a lot with my kids. I fill up my days with working, cleaning, emailing, calling, getting ready for the next day, etc. I need to remember to just "be". To be with my kids and be present with them, in the moment, fully involved in their lives. And most importantly I need to just "be" with my Lord and Savior, fully present with Him as well, when I'm reading His word, or talking to Him in prayer. So therefore I encourage you all to just "be" as well. And...if you haven't picked up Rob Bell's books Velvet Elvis or Sex God go out and get them RIGHT NOW! They will make you think not to mention be great conversation starters because of the titles:)
Before school let out for Thanksgiving this year we had a wonderful Thanksgiving feast at school. Ms. Vicki came up with the idea to lay all the food out in the shape of a turkey! The kids LOVED it! They all dressed up like Pilgrims and Indians and enjoyed eating and eating and eating! Kinsley especially loved the desserts and Kaden just took it all in with a huge grin on his face all day! Both my kiddos were Indians. Kaden says his name was "Super Hero Bear" and Kinsley's Indian name was "Jumping Kinsley" hmmmm:) We love our school and all the fun activities we get to do there!
Curtis, Kaden, Kinsley, and I all went to Oklahoma for a weekend to visit Curtis's grandmothers. It was a much needed visit and we LOVED being with them. We had the chance to interview Grandma Betty and there were so many interesting stories of God's provision in her life - from houses, to dresses, to businesses, etc. I could have sat and listened to her all day! That evening we had dinner with Grandma Evelyn, Leon and Joann at Super Salad and then watched the OU game back at Southern Plaza, where Betty lives. Kaden and Kinsley had a wonderful time watching Leon do magic tricks (the quarter out of your ear one:)) and reading books and getting piggy back rides from their great grandmothers! We want to do this more often, these women are such blessings in our lives!
