The Challenge

My friend over at A Life Defined

put out a challenge a couple weeks ago.

I'm a little late on taking

the "challenge", but I'm doing it now.

Better late than never right!?

Here's the challenge:

Write a blog

(that people actually want to read)

for 7, yes 7, days in a row.

Can I do it?

I don't know.

BUT 

I'm starting ...

fully intending to finish.

Want to join in on the challenge?

If you are, let me know.

That way if you finish or fail,

at least we're doing it together!

Also, since I'm coming up on my 100th post,

I'll be having a giveaway at the end of this "challenge".

You'll hear more about that later this week.

Ready ...  set ... CHALLENGE ON!

What's On Your Shelf?

I thought it was funny when I looked

at our nightstands today.

Can you tell which shelf belongs to Cory

and which one belongs to me?

And just in case you want

a closer look at what he's reading:

(He was reading "It" by Craig Groeschel

tonight, so it's not on the shelf)

And here's mine:

So, what's on your shelf?

Allergic To Boys

After dinner we were driving down

the road and saw a billboard that said:

Are you the one?

(then a picture of a teenagers face)

Stop the spread of STD's.

As we see this, Autumn says:

"What's STD's?"

My response:

"It's a disease"

Autumn:

"What kind of disease?"

Me:

"The kind you get from kissing."

Autumn:

"Kissing, like, your mom and dad?"

Daddy chimed in:

"No, like anyone that isn't your mom or dad".

Autumn:

"That's so weird that your body just

knows it isn't your mom or dad."

As I'm holding in my laughter,

Daddy holds it together enough to come up with this:

"Well, you know how your body is allergic to certain things .... that's kind of how your body works. Sometimes it just KNOWS stuff. It reacts different ways to different things. So a disease is like a reaction in a way. "

Autumn:

"Hmm. I wonder how when you get married

.... your body just knows it's okay to kiss.

After another minute she comes up with this .... hearfelt and as serious as can be:

"Do you think it's the wedding gown?

Does it have something in it that makes you

not allergic to your husband?"

By this time we are home and I am SO thankful.

I'm gonna keep praying she thinks

you are "allergic" to boys until you get married.

That would be awesome!

Camp 2010

After a week of camp with teenagers,

I realized that 30 does more

than just add a number to your age.

It kicks your butt!

But, we are back among

the land of the living!

Here's a few pics of our week.

We had an amazing time.

I believe lived were changed and transformed.

I can't wait to see what is to come!
