A Good Parent

What is a good parent?


What do they look like?  What do they say?


Are they always smiling?  Laughing?


Do they know how to make the best french toast?  Meatloaf?  Bread?  Scrambled eggs?


What do you say a Good Parent looks like?

A Life of Worship

"The highest form of worship is obedience."  - Mark Palmer

Makes me think.

I want to live a life of worship.  I want to do it to the best of my ability.  I want it to be worthy of the God who has given me life.

But what is he asking of me?

I voiced this to Ashley.  Her answer?  Maybe he's telling you to be still.

Hmm.

Still.

Stillness.

Quiet.

The hardest part of living.

Going and Going and Going

For the first time in weeks I looked around and, well, breathed.

There's always things to do.  And there's still a list on my desk.

But fall is in the air.  And somehow the list doesn't seem so important to me.

School is going.  Assignments being made and kept.  Run kids places in the afternoon.

Soccer.  Dance.  Church.  Groceries.  Doctors.  Therapies.

It's all good.

No worries.

I'm liking this breathing thing.
