Ephesians Week 6

 Ephesians 5   5  1  Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children   2  and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. 3  But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people.   4  Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.   5  For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. [ a ]   6  Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient.   7  Therefore do not be partners with them. 8  For you were once darkness, but now you are light i...

Fifth's Disease

On July 12th, Noah (my 11 1/2 year old) got a virus. July 16th, I began to run a fever. That fever lasted 4 days. I went to the doctor on July 19th and she said it is a virus, "come back if you still have a fever in a few days". July 20th, I developed a lacy rash all over my torso. The next day, the lacy rash moved to my arms. The next day, the rash looked just like a very bad sunburn. It was the weirdest thing! All the while, I felt just wiped out! I have been training to run a 1/2 marathon yet, I couldn't even get off the couch. I went back to the doctor on Friday, July 23rd. After buckets of blood work, they tell me I have Fifth's Disease ..a nasty virus and the my liver is in rebellion. My white blood count was also way too low. Please pray when I go give them more buckets of blood today, that my counts will be heading towards the normal ends. My poor husband has been pulling double duty for almost 2 weeks. I am ready for our regular normal. :)

Starbucks before Bedtime

Well, I had to do it. I had the Vente Mocha about two hours before bedtime. I suppose having completed 60 minutes of P90 X with my sweet husband a few hours before, I still had no problem going to sleep. However, I woke up at 3:30 and now I am not able to sleep. I still think the coffee...and the company I had at the coffee shop...was worth it, but ask me again tomorrow when I am juggling Bible Study, 3 kids (one of which is sick), preparing dinner, training for my 1/2 marathon in November (I have to run over 5 miles tomorrow). ...I think I hear another Starbucks calling...
