In an effort to inject some mirth into this downtrodden, painful existence I seem to be describing of late....here is an example of the sort of thing you have to laugh at, lest you cry, when living in a home full of boys....who no doubt someday will be able to demonstrate the fierce love they actually have for one another...
Here's the sort of thing I overhear, frequently, from the other room....
#2: Stop it, idiot!
#3: I'm not doing anything!
#2: Whatever (thud, slap, or crashing sound is heard at this point)
#3: Idiot!
#2: Weirdo!
#3: Your mom's a weirdo!
#4: Shut up...I can't hear the freakin' movie!
There's more.....I usually allow it to go on a bit longer in hopes it will resolve itself and quiet movie watching will resume....sometimes that happens....sometimes not and I have to call "jump ball" and figure out which one got sent to their room the last time and send the other one this time. One of those little arrow thingies they use at the games would be helpful to me....although I'm sure they'd find a way to corrupt which way the arrow was pointing, thus starting an entirely NEW argument.
Are you laughing yet? I'm hysterical. *geez*

Flo finally gets equal time.
This blog is about kindness and respect - willing yourself to extend grace to others even when you don't agree with them. Kurt and Pam write here.
James 4:5
And what he gives in love is far better than anything else you'll find. It's common knowledge that "God goes against the willful proud; God gives grace to the willing humble."

My three nephews have been in town this week while my sister and brother-in-law are in Greece. (hard life, huh?)
Thankfully, the boys are not old enough to be having these conversations yet. But, they are already getting more-than-enough uncle Em barking at them for fighting with one another. :-S
Send your boys here for a while; they'll thank God for mom and dad once they spend some time with uncle em. haha!
Cool! Their shot records are ready and Tdub will get the medical release forms notarized. What is it....about a 6-hr. drive from here to there?? (hehe)
Sooooooo..... are you wondering where this whole week went?! Goes by quickly, doesn't it!
Just wanted you to know I was thinking of you and your family!
Yes...it certainly does go by quickly! Thanks for stopping by and for your good thoughts! We are doing fine. Our 18-yr-old set up a meeting with our youth pastor of his OWN accord on Wednesday...which was an answer to prayer. He trusts him and will listen to him. Much of his struggle centers around just not having a clue what he wants to do with himself. It's a tough age...more for some than others, it seems. Thanks for being there.

That sounds like my house. "Idiot" is the favorite name to call one's brother, apparently, followed closely by "SHUT UP!"
