Hi Monica!

You said; “It’s not about the books or walls, milk or crayon. It’s about people and love and forgiveness and mercy.”

You are blessed that you could see that, and we are all grateful for lessons like this – though we might sometimes wish He didn’t use such a dramatic and painful teaching tool.
Thanks for sharing.

Glad to hear you are OK. Thank you for the reminder, the little things do not matter. Crayon, no problem that is why they made Magic Eraser and wall paint. Erins last blog post..Money Well Spent

I do think it’s funny! I totally psyched myself out with my arm hurting and then the numbness. I’m such a freakshow.

Sarah, it’s given me a lot to think about: mothering, anger, what really matters at the end of the day, homeschooling.

(Plus… it’s great blog-fodder. Those of you that love blogkeeping understand completely!)

I know it's not funny, but now that I know there's no danger, that's funny! Heathers last blog post..Portrait of a Young Artist

I’m sure you will laugh about this someday, if you’re not already. But good grief, how scary?! And how moving too! I keep thinking about my last labor, and how I surely would have died if we hadn’t been so close to the proper drugs and such. It’s so much responsibility being a mom. We have a lot to live for.

Lyla, I was told that I RAN down the isle. I’m not normally one to shy from the spotlight, but it was so weird, kwim? It’s so much easier to be in character when on stage, not as yourself on stage.

I believe I did make a joke during the exchange of rings. Maybe someday I’ll share that story.

Thanking God it was not the real deal. But what a great teachable moment for Him. Tell me, while feeling ridiculous walking down the aisle, did you refrain from cracking jokes? I loved that. Lylas last blog post..Teeter Away, He'll Still Be Here

Jokes ... not jobs. I think they need to check my brain! I have been doing that a lot lately. LOL Angels last blog post..Evangelism Tips

Wow! I can so relate. After I had sat in the ER for awhile and had all the chest x-ray, EKG, and blood gas done … I started cracking jobs to the lady who came in to take my blood out of my bad arm. I knew then whatever it was … was not my heart and I felt like such a dork! LOL
