Trimming

Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? Jeramiah 2:33


Trimming.. Have you ever seen a candle being trimmed?
It's always done bit by bit, not too much at a time.

Many people I've seen trim just a little bit, a Biblical concept they used to believe, their clothing gets just a little more immodest, music gets a little beatier, movies get a little higher rated, and bit more violence, prayer time becomes of the past, etc. and bit by bit, they trim their lives down, they lose that interest they had in God. They trim, till finally they are down the to the stub of their candle of truth. They no longer care.

Dear Father, you see the many temtations all 'round, tempting me to trim my way. But with your help Lord, I won't stumble, I won't compromise...

Confused?

Danica told Caleb that they were going to America to see Granny and Grandpa. So when Cherith (another sister of mine) was on the phone to them, Caleb all excited told her that he was going to "Mewica to see Gwanny and Gwanpa and Mum and Dad."

Adopted Bears

We have in this house a Dad, a Mum, a Daddy, and a Mama. Well, actually that is to Caleb definitions. Dad = grandad. Mum = grandma. And Daddy and Mama.

When Nathan, his daddy came, (as Danica and the children are just visiting) Caleb started telling him all about "Dad" this and "Dad" that and we had explain that "Dad" was grandad...
~~~~~~~~
Right now I am listening to Caleb yelling "come mama dear!" He's trying to convince us all that we need to eat.. and RIGHT now... "come eat!" He's such a sweetie. :D

Adopted!
All of my sister's family have 'bear' suffexes to their names. Last night Cabie called his uncle Able, "Able-bear." Caleb's adopted 'im. (He even adopted April the donkey.... "Come here April bear.)

Sadly Danica and her children/my nephews and neice have all left now. :( The house is quiet without Caleb talking and Hannah yelling.

Beshany's Blog?

Danica had been talking a bit about Bethany's blog. Then Caleb getting wind of it, said: "Beshany's bogt. I need to see Beshany's bogt!"
~~~~
If Caleb see's a picture of Ben and Bethany, he says: "Untle Ben and Arnty Beshany!", or a picture of Ben and Cherith "Untle Benji and Arnty Terif!". Caleb just LOVES his aunties and uncles.

One day Caleb was admiring his smilie little sister. And he said: "I luj Hunnuh!" :)

Caleb and his isms

Last night Nathan called (Nathan is my sister Danica's husband) and Caleb their 3yd went over and said: "Mummy, I need to talk to daddy".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whenever my dad comes around, Caleb calls out all cheerily: "Hey Dad!!!".

Meal time comes.... "I want my little shpoon!". Caleb is very particular on the spoon size.

Genesis 1 Excerpt from my Diary

Genesis 1 is about creation, but notice "In the beggining GOD created the heaven and the earth." So who made the heavens and the earth? God. Next it goes on to say in vs 2 that "the earth was without form, and darkness was upon the deep." What does that mean? That God started with nothing, and made something.

The 1st day he made day and night. Verse 5 had been bugging me, "the evening and morning were the first day" I asked mum: It probably means that God started with the evening, (it wouldn't make sense if it was "the evening and the evening were the first day") but it still hadn't gotten through everything Mum said. Then the thought came "Ask God". So I did, and when I got off my knees it was like I heard: "the first 24 hours". That was it! The evening and the morning were the first day and the evening coming was the next 24 hours - the next day. Like as with Sabbath - it starts at sundown and ends sundown!
The 2nd day the heavens are made - atmosphere.

On the 3rd day God gathered the waters together and made dry land - earth, then named the waters Seas. Next He made grass, herbs, and fruit "and God saw that it was good".

The 4th day God made the sun, moon and stars "to rule the season and to be signs". He put them in the "firmament" - space.
The 5th day - God made/formed the birds and sea animals.
Day 6 - Land animals created/formed. "...and God created man in His own image..." God created Adam and Eve (not Adam and Steve!!) He didn't stop there - He said "be fruitful, and mutiply and replentish the earth." Thus was creation ended and the Sabbath came.

Power Steering

Have you ever had your car get low on power steering? And experienced having to pull on the car steering wheel to make it go the right way? Car steering wheels are difficult and stubborn without power steering. It was built that way and we can't expect better.


Some people seem to think that when something goes "wrong" with someone else, that it means that "that" person should be on drugs. Well the problem is that WE were NOT built to run on drugs. I read this (true) story of a boy that had dissability's and was hyperactive, and his mother (Eve) could not change things very easily. Well at first Eve didn't know much, and put her son on "medication", when her son (Justin) was on the medication, he behaved normally, but she said he was like ice emotionally. The problem was, he wasn't wired for drugs, as we all aren't, unlike cars with power steering.

If drugs were meant for us, God would built that need into us, and told us about it in Our Manual. I don't believe in drugs for man or animal except for anaesetic.
