On that note..... I raised up my son in the ways of the Lord. He DID depart from it for a bit. I stood by and prayed. No judgement, just loved my son. He is now almost 22 years old and a few months back he informed me that he can't visit on Thursdays because that is his bible study group night. I am not at ALL upset by this revelation.
I found out that the weather isn't going above 90 today so I can actually go outside and work on cleaning off some more of this acre without melting! That's always good.

I wouldn't be either!!!!
I kept mine in church also, Deb. I always felt that it did no good to just nourish their bodies and minds if one didn't mind the soul. And just when I thought maybe all I'd said and done had fallen on deaf ears and my boys just maybe wouldn't get there until later on, if at all, they surprise me with a spiritual wisdom and understanding that I wish I'd had at their age.
If my life had been filled with wonderous and great things, I think my sons drawing closer to the Lord and thirsting for more would be the pinnacle of my life as a mother!
It was 12:30 this morning, and I heard a wolf howl (not so good), So I got up to my window to hear it better, and as soon as I did so, I saw a shooting star. It was beautiful.
