  • OK- so there's a picture of Baby Noah...not SUCH a baby anymore-so we're trying to break that habit...there's a pic of Noah. Isn't he handsome? And such a ham for the camera...yeah, he's almost two years old.

    I think yesterday I ate more ice cream than is beneficial for any human being. Mind you, this is light ice cream, but that doesn't matter. I had a nice big bowl at lunch, and another when I came home around 9 PM (and I've been trying not to eat too late). Anyway, I bought this 1/2 gallon of strawberry ice cream (Dreyer's Grand Light--the best brand ever!) at lunch time and now there is hardly any left in the carton. It's pretty unthinkable--this travesty. I don't think anybody should consume that much ice cream in any given 24 hour period--it's inhumane. I'll be paying for it for a while...

    Mark:

    Day 19 (Mark 10:1-31)
    Here we see Jesus as a person who GOES FOR THE JUGULAR (a phrase coined by a brilliant theology professor Dr. Baloin). Whenever he's asked questions, Jesus cuts right to the heart of the issue of whatever is really in that person's heart. For example: the rich man that asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. Jesus' response ultimately was to sell everything he had and give to the poor--not because that was God's law, but because that is what THAT guy needed to hear. Another example:Pharisees testing him about divorce. Check it out. Jesus does this a few other times in scripture, also...

    Day 20 (Mark 10:32-52)
    Jesus is a SERVANT. Read it here: "whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 44and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. 45For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

    Day 21 (Mark 11:1-19)
    Jesus is JUST. Here Jesus curses the fig tree and overturns the tables in the temple. He was and is a God who loves JUSTICE.

    Day 22 (Mark 11:20-33)
    Here we see that Jesus is CLEVER or SMART. Now I know that sounds funny-Jesus is smart? Of course he is, he's all-knowing!!! But I thought the way that he handled the Pharisees who questioned him about who's authority he was doing these things with was just so clever. He could have just told them the answer, but he made them trick themselves into lying, saying "I don't know". It is great. Read the passage--its just phenomenal.

    OH yeah-- NEW CASTING CROWNS ALBUM--it's a must get!!!

  • It's really true about that icecream, people. I'm talking bowls and bowls of it. And when I asked him to get me some, he comes back with a bowl for me of the OLD, OLD container of icecream that should be thrown out. So he wants me to eat the old stuff and save the 2 new cartons for himself. Typical. :) Luckily I don't really care so I dutifully ate some of the old stuff and then threw the rest away. Hee hee. My hubby loves his icecream!

  • Oh no, Daniel you may need intervention...call ice cream anonymous..lol Don’t mess with a man and his ice cream!
