Random Notes

The boys are outside having lots of fun. They’re at that age where everything outside is magic. The neighbors over the fence have boxers and the boys love the dogs, and the older couple love the boys, and give them a stuffed animal whenever they see them. We’re building a “sunflower forest” for the boys in the backyard, 15’ tall sunflowers to make a secluded spot for them.

Today, Joe came in with a bunch of flowers he had picked for Jessica. Just wildflowers he had found. The boys love her, and it’s easy to see why. She’s pretty and they like that! She wrestles with them, and they love that. She snuggles with them, and they need that. She’s added a woman’s touch to this house, and they run around saying, “That’s pretty!”

John just came in soaking wet. He and Joe got in a water fight at the hose bib. Way more fun than video games.

I had a neat thing happen this morning in prayer. Roz and I have been praying about Matthew 11:12, what it means and how to preach it. As we prayed the Lord’s prayer to day, when I prayed, “Thy Kingdom Come,” it was like God just threw all this stuff into my head in an instant, faster than I could think it. I won’t tell you what all that is now—come Sunday.

It’s a lazy Sunday, getting ready to grill with Kulothungan and Faith, the Indian couple visiting us, and also Eliseo will be coming over. So we’ll eat steaks, baked potatoes, salad, watermelon, and praise God for all He does in us and through us.
