Something that bothered me

Okay I was in a conversation the other day with a lady in the grocery store. We were talking about children and stuff, then it came up about family size and the Duggars came up (of course - because if you have more than 2 kids you must be just like them right...)

Anyway, the idea was spoken that why would God give people such blessings when there are so many starving people in this world. Why would God care about x,y, or z and why doesn't He do something about the world's problems.

Um, I don't serve a God who is incapable of fixing the problems in this world. I serve a God who has commanded US to do that. There are lots of bible verses about caring for the poor, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, etc. He has provided a way for this to be done.

Compassion, Water Mission International, Habitat for Humanity, etc are good organizations you can support even when you can't get out there and do it yourself. But please, oh please, don't blame God for what we humans are failing to do...

Birthday Boys

We had some birthdays here, and we ate cupcakes for breakfast just because, and they are pretty happy about it!



We also headed into the city for a field trip to the symphony - we love taking pictures of the old churches


You get pretty good shots from inside here


It was overcast but bright outside, and although we were planning a picnic lunch we could not because it started pouring. We had a nice time anyway!


The lady in charge inside told me twice that there would be no photography allowed inside the building, so we have none from inside...

I cut all my hair off as well. Piglet shot this pic of me when I walked outside to gather jumpers off the trampoline.


Speaking of trampolines, here is what happens in the winter when you jump - static electricity




Speaking of trampolines, Piglet jumps like a pro while it took Peanut a little convincing that he would not have to hold his nose to jump (He is used to jumping into the pool with his floaties on and holding his nose)
