my life
...i just caught up on reading blogs and it seems several others, including myself, are experiencing a writers block for different reasons. i have several things on my mind to write about but just haven't made the time--but soon. UPDATES: we are having "open house" every weekend and showing the house during the week too, ella's feet grew 1 size, damon has mastered the alphabet since i started speaking his language (A-is for Anakin, R-R2D2, O-Obi-Wan, L-Luke & Leah, you can imagine the rest!), andy took the camaro engine out in tiny pieces all over the garage and put it back together again, i have been planning and experimenting to throw clay the most amazing "Harry Potter" birthday party in a couple of weeks, ella sat in "time out" for the first time yesterday-so sad!(actually she goes every time her brothers are there to give them a kiss), clay has this contagious desire to learn-he is reading so well and his handwriting is better than his dad's (both lefties), we are struggling to pay our bills and although it is depressing at times and i feel anxious about the timing of selling our house, we are living fully in our Father's love and life is good.

which kingdom?
...this is a small piece of jeremy's thoughts on election day and expresses exactly how i feel about politics or any else that takes my affections and draws my passion away from the love of and for my Father, and then in turn this world.
"As the church we must recognize that it is not our vote or protests that will sustain or improve our society so much as His affections caressing the world through you and me. Now of course the only question remaining to be answered by all of us is; to which kingdom are we going to align ourselves, God or Caesar's?" -jeremy ohl
