    Yeah for joining in! I was late, too, and just posted mine. :) I like the idea of motherhood coming with rollerskates, and the ability to slow time is definitely a must. :) Your post you wrote this morning about Mother's Day was beautiful, too.

This Harsh World, The Butterfly Effect and The End of the Story

These last few weeks have been hard to process. I feel overwhelmed with the realities of this world. The reality that this is a hard and sad, broken place. The shootings in Aurora, the continued genocide in Zimbabwe , the attacks on men standing firm in what they believe , the selling of people and the list can go on and on. I strongly believe with all that I am that we serve a Good and Merciful God. And yet in times like this I can doubt and question where is His goodness when we need it most.

They eat when they are hungry, not when the bell rings. 9. Public bathrooms--my kids just use ours and I clean it. 10. We choose not to allow our kids to be tiny cogs in a crazy machine built to make the rich richer and the existence and sovereignty of God a fa...
