2009 was such a good year and I know that 2010 is going to rock even more!
Joe should be coming home in a couple hours and I am doing some cooking and cleaning in the meantime. I've been a little MIA lately because their just hasn't been that much to talk about! Things are good and routine. Working, cooking, trying to clean more and doing it all again!
Here are a couple of my Resolutions for 2010.
1. Organize my closet (you don't want to know how bad it is)
2. Do something with my hair already
3. Paint the guest room and landing and hang some photos up
4. Save money for a new house
5. Keep going to church
I hope your New Years is fun (and safe!) and that 2010 is everything that you want it to be!

Merry Christmas!
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6
May God bless you this Christmas Holiday!

Words of Wisdom
Let's take a moment to really realize who He is. Have a blessed week.
"God is not rescuer.
God is not safety.
God is not benevolent or critical Father-knows-best.
God is not puppet or puppeteer.
God is not who I thought or was taught He is.
God is lover - reckless, spendthrift, indiscriminate, passionate.
God is pursuer - relentless, determined, tireless seeker of my soul.
God is challenger - demanding, movement, journey, change, growth.
God is creator - delighted in me.
God is nurturer - feeding hungry children.
God is teacher - eager to share knowledge and wisdom.
God is dancer and music maker - creation responds joyfully…
God is spirit, wind, and fire - uncontainable…
God is light - exposing, revealing, searching out all I would hide.
God is unknowable yet constantly revealing to me with richness and intensity I cannot ignore.
God knows me, forms me, recognizes and claims me…from my mother's womb."
-Pastor Virginia Going.

Let's talk about something serious, shall we?
People, let's talk about something near and dear to my heart. I saw something today that has moved me to share this with you, and to plead my case with you.
Parents, I need your full attention. Tell little Billy to have a seat on the couch for a minute, so you can give this topic your full attention. Trust me, I am going to make your life better. So what is it that is so important, so critical that you must give it your 100% full attention?
Ugly Children.
Yes. You read that right. Ugly Children. It's in your control.
I have been personally touched by an ugly child. Not literally, like I was at the store and some little sad ugly child put their hands on me. This is going to be hard to believe, but.....I was an ugly child. (Mom, your secret is out. If looking at a childhood picture of me causes you to apologize to me, I was ugly. Doesn't matter if you were laughing, you have shown your true thoughts).
Please, parents, do all you can to help your children avoid the travesty that is parental-caused ugliness. It's preventable. YOU have the power to stop ugly children in their tracks.
I'm delaying. I can hardly bring myself to post the picture that follows. But I am going to be strong, and share my pain with you. In opening up about my childhood ugliness, I can both heal my wounds and hopefully prevent other children from being ugly.
If I can just save one child from being ugly, then I have made a difference. No child should be ugly. Not if it can be helped. Sadly, some don't have a choice, but we won't touch on that, sucks to be you.
Parents, when you look upon exhibit A in Childhood Ugliness, note the symptoms. Then look at your child. Is s/he looking a little like this?
Please observe the many, many things wrong with yours truly as a child. Most obvious is the bangs. Curly mixed hair + bangs = UGLY. Note the vest. UGLY. See the odd smile. UGLY. Shifty eyes. UGLY.
Need a closer look at the horror? You are a brave reader, you know. I wish taking a picture of a Polaroid yielded clearer pictures, but you probably don't want to see this THAT clearly.
Please, please, please don't ever let your child look like this. If they do look like this don't take a picture of it. The most horrifying thing about this picture is that it was taken for a KidCare ID book, in case you go missing. Who would take this child? I don't think the kidnapping of this one would get much media attention. They only like cute missing children.
Mom, I forgive you. You were blinded by motherly love and didn't see the childhood ugliness. I forgive you.
Childhood Ugliness CAN be prevented. Won't you help your child?
