Imagine His Feelings on that Night...

I heard this song for the first time today and was really moved. Don't want to ruin it with too many words, but I just thought about how he may have felt that night...

Joseph's Lullaby

(here's a second link that has lyrics)

Jacob's Quote of Affection

So, I really knew what Jacob was saying, but the way he said it was an interesting way to put it...we were comparing how much I loved him and how much he loved me. He said, "Mom, I love you more than a light bulb!"..."I don't even love a light bulb!"

Leah's Religion "Class"

Leah is SUCH a pretender these days and I absolutely love it. She is so cute with all of her talk. She talks A LOT about her "school." We get a lot of, "Well, at my school..." and whatever she has to say. Well yesterday, she wanted to have school at home, which we sometimes do. She said she wanted to read the Bible. So, we got it out, she found a page with a picture and wanted me to read it. It was a picture of the Torah and I started to read the caption. She said, "Oh wait, I don't want to read this. I want to read something else." She began reading, "And Jesus said, 'Not by the hair of my chinny-chin chin.'" We were also sitting at the kitchen table and we were coloring. I was using a colored pencil. She said, "Mom, is it 'Pencil-cost'?" With a grin, I told her that no, it wasn't Pentecost. But, at least she's thinking, right?!

Thank Goodness for Analogies...and Star Wars

Well, you know, analogies sure help things make sense better. Tonight I was reading with Leyton; he was reading a Batman book. The book mentioned Robin having a mentor. Leyton asked what mentor meant. I told him that it was kind of like a teacher, someone you could learn from and talk to if you needed help. And he replied, "Oh, like a Padawan. Like Anakin was for Ahsoka, and like Obi-Wan was for Anakin." Now of that I have not a clue, but it made it crystal clear for him.
