The Privilege of Worship

Lots going on today but Cornbread wanted a little rock-rock time so I thought I would pop on here for a quick post. Another late night but it was worth it. The GuitarMan is in the Male Chorale at his college and they had a concert last night. What a privilege to attend! We took the girls and my mom was sweet enough to keep the little guy. There's no way he could have gone to something like this. So without her help there would have been no way for us to attend.

Wow, they did a beautiful job of leading worship in song. We were able to tape some of it but loading videos on Blogger crashes my computer so I can't share. :( It hit me again that The GuitarMan was the same age as LadyBug the first time we took him to see the chorale. Now here he is singing in it. Pretty cool to see it come full circle. What you expose your children to matters!

It makes me sad to think how many people take those opportunities for worship for granted and miss out. They don't look at it as a privilege. Some people come to church only if they are in the mood, if they feel like it, aren't too tired, if their friends are going to be there, etc. What would happen if they approached their job the same way? So if this is you, what is happening to your spiritual life? Oh, I realize that church attendance doesn't equal salvation. But shouldn't salvation equal a desire to worship with other believers? To lead others to Christ? To be discipled and grow in knowledge and faith?

Just my ponderings.

The Season of Pregnancy (updated)

I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking, ...

Happenings Around Here

Well, another dog lost. :( This time it wasn't a car but something more sinister...a rattlesnake. She was bitten yesterday evening and lasted about 4 1/2 hours. Poor little Chi-Chi is only about 6 pounds or so and just couldn't take the venom. LadyBug seems to be taking it the hardest among the children. Our Bassett Hound, Daisy, and Chi-Chi are the best of friends and poor Daisy has spent the day looking for her. So sad. The GuitarMan has finished his semester and is home now. I introduced him to Pilates this morning. We worked out together. Ha ha, now if that wasn't a sight I just don't know what would be! He has a new found admiration for it now though. Afterwards I cut the FisherMan's hair outside under the plum tree while the children played in the pool. He asked if there was a way we could be any more redneck. I had plenty of ideas on that if he wanted but he didn't want to take part lol. Apparently it was a rhetorical question. This week was one of apprec...

Why the Hurry?

We are indulging in an early lunch today after having a late breakfast. I would say it is due to growth spurts but I'm not sure. Unfortunately mine tend to be outward rather than upward so I am hoping that isn't the case for Mama! :P As I went towards the kitchen to fix lunch LadyBug frantically called, "Wait, wait! Mama look at my picture!" She had worked so hard to color a kitty in a coloring book. The head was royal blue and the body orange while it sported a jaunty red bow. (Just so you Auburn fans know it...there was some Crimson Tide thrown in there, ha!) I praised her for staying in the lines while in my head I thought of how an adult would have had to made it look more real. Have you noticed that about children? The majority of young children never color a picture to look real. They use different colors all over. FlowerChild used to color pictures of people and animals with a pattern of up to 8 colors at a time! Have you ever seen a plaid horse? How about a st...
