The Lucado Life Lessons Study Bible

I recently joined a site called BookSneeze.com that sends me complimentery books to read and review and my first review is of The Lucado Life Lessons Study Bible: Inspirational Applications for Living Your Faith: New King James Version.

The Lucado Life Lessons Study Bible is a wonderful bible and so easy to read! It is filled with so many wonderful tools that will guide you and help you in your everyday walk with Christ; a topical index, devotional index, Spiritual Growth Verses, just to name a few. One of my favorite aspects of the bible is the breakdown for reading through the bible in 2 years. I have always wanted, and tried numerous times, to read through the bible but if you have ever tried it you know that unless you are 110% committed you probably won’t make it that far. It is hard to make it through Genesis especially when you get to the genealogy and such, it is just hard to understand and really take all in but the Lucado Study Bible is so easy to read and understand that it kind of makes you go “oh that’s what it meant”; I read verses that I have read numerous times that just “clicked” this time. I decided when I got this bible to just read straight through it. I am still in Genesis but for the first time in a while I can honestly say that I look forward to reading some every single chance I get.

The Top 10 Reasons I Hate Your Kid

I'll admit it: I never liked kids before I had them. I figured that would all change once I became a mother, but oddly, it didn't. Now, I just dislike them for a variety of whole new reasons. Sure, they can be useful to fill out party guest lists and lessen the cost of one-on-one private school education, but really, I could do without them entirely.



Do you disagree? Perhaps you won't after you read this list ...



1. They spread illnesses. Colds, pink-eye, hand, foot, and mouth -- every nasty sickness that my child has ever suffered from has stemmed for some other little snot who forgot to wash his germy hands. And, mark my words: If I ever find the child who caused the lice outbreak at our house last year, it won't end well. Live in fear kid, live in fear.



2. They teach bad habits. My kids never bit a nail or told a dirty joke before they made friends. Now? It's potty mouth and bad habit central.



3. They're bad influences. I could always count on my kids to eat pasta with tomato sauce. It was one of the few ways I had to sneak veggies into their beige colored diets. That is, until we had a "friend" over who proclaimed that red sauce was disgusting and mine haven't touched the healthy stuff since. Bring on the butter.



4. They're filthy. Sure, my kids may be messy and unbathed, but it's familiar dirt. Unfamiliar grime is just so much nastier.



5. They're loud. My kid is loud too, but it's not nearly as annoying as your kid. Especially at restaurants and movies.



6. Their poop is nasty. It's not that I love wiping my own kid's ass, but someone unrelated to me? Gag me.



7. It sucks when they break things. Yeah, it sucks when my own kid breaks things, but it's so much worse when it's someone else's. Do you ask their parents to help replace it? Punish them? It's just so complicated and irritating.



8. They're mean to my kid. Last week, some punk bit my youngest twice and another asshole tripped my middle son. I can't even imagine how I deal once they're out of pre-school.



9. They are incomprehensible. My kid may speak nonsense, but I get it. The gibberish the other kids speak makes no sense at all. And, frankly, it's annoying.



10. Their parents think they are just the most precious and irresistible creatures in the universe, and obviously my children have already claimed that title.

*All that being said, this sums up my day today. haha*

Christmas 2010

We had a wonderful Christmas this year!! Mom and Daddy (or Mymy and Poppy, as they are better know around here) came up, as did Seth and Eric and Abe and Margie. It was so much fun and everyone went a bit overboard I think but hey, isn't that what you are supposed to do??

I hope that everyone had as blessed a Christmas as we did.

Merry Christmas and I'll talk to you next year!!

Ciao!

What an Awesome God I Serve

Tonight was not only the first day of winter but a lunar eclipse and. Meteor shower. I looked online to see what time Abe couldn't find much other than "cloud coverage might mask the eclipse." Needless to say, it didn't. Mark called me at about 320 and told me to go outside. I did and wow. Just wow. It was so cold that I was shaking and my toes were frozen in no time but I couldn't take my eyes off of that lunar eclipse...nor the meteor shower!!! Every time I was about to go inside I would see another shooting star. It was amazing!!!!

Black Friday and then Some...

Black Friday was amazing!! Nothing super special really but it, as a whole, it was great! I got everything that I went out for, which made it all the better!

On a different note, McKenna loooves her Poppy! Poppy is my daddy and McKenna adores him! Makes me smile. :)

December 3rd was McKenna's Jacksonville Birthday party and it was a blast!! We had a cookout and it was so much fun!! And of course, Poppy was there so that made it better. At one point that weekend I was holding McKaela and McKenna wanted me to hold her so she came up to me and says "up", I told her that I was holding Sissy and she goes "Sissy Poppy Up". LOL Too smart for her own good, I tell you.

We came back from Jacksonville on Saturday because McKenna had a birthday party to go to on Sunday. Colin, her friend from The Little Gym, had his birthday party on Sunday so we couldn't miss that.

Monday the 6th was McKenna's birthday party at Chick-fil-A and it was so much fun! Just about everyone showed up and those who didn't let me know. It was SUCH a good time! I'm not sure who had more fun, me or her. Haha

December, overall, has been quite busy but definitely wonderful!!!

Ciao!!
