Wanna Fight?

Wow, it's been a long time since I blogged. We've been pretty busy around here and I never seem to find the time to get on the computer anymore. I miss it.
Did anyone watch that 'Question of God' series that was on PBS?
Wow was that hard to watch! no? I was so frustrated not being able to shout out my opinions. I kept saying them anyway until I could tell Jacob was getting annoyed with me blurting out all the time. I never did like debates much. I have enough argueing in my regular life with out schedueling a time specifically to argue. They did do a really good job of keeping it calm and open. No one was trying to force themselves on anyone else. The worste part of it for me was that I felt like they were pussy footing around the real answers. Talking about personal experiences and sappy ideas of love etc. I just kept thinking "of course you don't believe in God because you are blinded to the truth. You've never opened up your mind to the possiblities." It's very easy for me to get impatient because the truth is so clear to me. It's my life! I see it everywhere I go. God is always right beside me, leading me steps, holding my hand. He is more real than I am, sitting here typing this. I'm the one that's not real. The reality is that what you see isn't what you get. There's so much more that you can't see.
The best part was watch the oriental guy pulling at his hair and rubbing his eyes in distress. He seemed to be a Christian and every time the weird pumkin pie hair cutted new age chick spoke he shook his head in frustration about what she was saying. She was quite strange.
Anyway, I hope you all got to watch that program. I enjoyed learning more about Freud and Lewis. I think it put a belief in God in the spot light for a change.

evening delight

What an evening. I just got home from being on Sydenham lake in Mum and Dad's pontoon boat. We brought a pizza and some chips, coffee and chocolate. The boys of course brought their pipes. We ended up drifting through swamps with our faces staring straight down into the shallow weeded homes of the creatures beneath. We sipped our coffee and nibbled on treats staring off into the purple and red sun set. The air was thick with delight and the sweet smell of tabacco. I couldn't help but notice God in everywhere. His handy work in each twig and wave. I couldn't help but feel blessed to live in such a beautiful place. We are so safe and sound here. There isn't anything to be afraid of. No men with guns, no terrifying weather, there is no threat to my life or the lives of my loved ones. I can only say thank you to God for placing me here and make the most of every moment by trying to serve Him by serving others.

Thank you Lord.

resistance is futile.

Okay so I'm the most exhausted I have ever been in my life.
This pregnancy is really taken alot out of me. Today I decided that I really needed to go to the city. My mum agreed to come along since she had some things to do too. BIG MISTAKE! There was no way of predicting just how badly it would turn out. We started with Cost-co. Wow is that place HUGE! We ended up waiting in line for mum to have her glasses repaired for 20 minutes. The whole time arguing with the girls about getting into the cart and getting out of the cart and touching everything. We got our stuff and got out of there. Next I ran into the Future Shop to look at a birthday gift idea I had for Jacob. I saw a digital memo recorder in a flyer that he'd been talking about for over a year and wanted to check it out. No luck there.
So I went to Business Depo where I successfully purchased an RCA one for $59.99. ( I hope he likes it, his birthday is this Saturday). I got back to the car to find Mum pretty uncomfortable with a swollen, throbbing, black and blue and red all over thumb. She didn't injure it in any way but it had been bothering her for a day or so and was only getting worse. She wanted to go to the doctor instead of finishing our shopping. I agreed to take her. When we got there we had to wait for another 20 minutes to see a nurse. This nurse recognized me and the children from previous appointments and asked about there health. I said I was behind on Sophies needles so she jumped on the opportunity to poke her! Poor Sophie had to have 2 needles, one in each arm. I had to hold her down which we both found tramatic. She came away with 2 blues clues band-aids and a pooh bear sticker and I came away with a pretty good chance of having a very sick kid in a week or so when those drugs start to invade! I couldn't wait to get home since I knew that nap time was close. I thought *yahoo I'll have a nap too*. I got everyone tucked in and went to my bed. I was only there a moment because I became so hungry that there was no way I would be able to sleep through it. I came down to have some veggies but they tasted funny. Nothing tasted right. I didn't have the energy to hunt or cook. I choked down the veggies.
I could go on about the rest of my day but reliving it here with you is almost as tiring as the first time. All I can say is that it's so good to put them to bed.

So the moral of my story is... resistance to a change of plans is futile, you never know where your going to end up.
