Vacation Videos

Some of the long-awaited videos are here! =D I've got a video from the drive through Missouri, one of probably 2 or 3 videos of Niagara Falls, and a video from us goofing off around the house on Mom's birthday (April 19--Happy birthday, Mom! =D). Here's the links to them:

Goofing Off

Now that I've got a program to edit the videos, etc., I should get the rest up in the next couple days. This is kind of fun! =D

We haven't really been up to much lately, just normal family stuff. Hanging out, doing school, etc. We got to go to San Angelo for church last week. That was great! We really miss it.

I started "working" again this last week. A lot of people think that what I do isn't really work, and I suppose that at times I might agree with them. I mean, I get paid to play with babies and little kids. But then, if you work with kids, you know that it really is hard work! Anyway, I'm babysitting two little boys (one is 4 and one is 5 mos.) two afternoons a week now. Fun! =D

Really the only other thing I have going on right now is school...I'm enrolled in the Homestead College of Bible, an online course, and right now I'm kind of slowly working my way through Genesis working on my first assignment: making a list of 200 items found in Genesis of origins, elements, conditions, emotions, skills, processes, developments, and things. =P They couldn't start with an easier assignment, of course. *rolls eyes* Oh, well, it's really pretty cool stuff, and I just keep telling myself that it'll be a little easier once I build up some momentum. =D

Well, that's it for now. Guess I'll "talk" to y'all later! May the Lord bless you richly with HIS grace and joy today!

Sex & "the good Christian single"

 Yep. Buckle up, we're going there. This post might get a little uncomfortable, but it's a topic that can't exactly be ignored! And, as I said at the beginning of this little "series" earlier this year, "my goal is to be uncomfortably honest, vulnerable, real, raw." Besides, the world is talking about sex all the time , and if we as Jesus-followers don't talk about it from a Jesus-perspective, the world is going to shape the views and opinions of sex for an entire generation. Or two. Or more.  Let's start with some basic statements just for the sake of clarity: 1. Sex is God's idea, and it is good.  All through the Bible, from Adam & Eve being "naked & unashamed" in the garden of Eden (Genesis 2), to the graphic love poetry of Song of Solomon, to Paul exhorting husbands and wives to freely share their bodies with one another in 1 Corinthians 7, the Bible paints a picture of sex within marriage being good, beautiful, encourag...

Six Flags!

Some would no doubt consider it a strange "Sabbath kick-off", but for me a trip to Six Flags Over Texas (in Arlington) was just the ticket! Between my love of roller coasters, the nostalgia this place holds, and the healthy benefits of fresh air and sunshine, it was fantastic. Oh, and the company was pretty great, too. The only thing that could have made it better would have been to have my "OG Six Flags fam" along--aka, my family and the Vests, of course! Six Flags has always been about facing and overcoming fear for me. I was a very fearful/timid child, and as an adult looking back I think one of the best things my parents did for my little anxious self was take me to ride roller coasters!! (I would insert the "tears of joy" emoji here if I could!) I was coaxed and cajoled on to rides I was hesitant about, but never forced to ride anything--though I waited in every line with them and I was not allowed to complain. Every year, there were rides where ...

oh, look! it's a blog!

I really thought I was going to do better at blogging this month. Ha! I have a post in my drafts section that I started two weeks ago, but there it sits. It's going to require more time and thought to finish than I have at this moment, so it will have to wait. However, it IS going to get finished and posted at some point! :) Today, for most of the day it's just Jonathan and I here at home. Weird, huh? Daddy, Micah, and Josiah are at a men's retreat/camp-out with the church, and Momma had to work today. So, Jonathan and I are hanging out (read: cleaning house and putting the new sheets on the beds and icing cupcakes :) ). This evening, there is a "praise for pro-life" thing at a church here in Springtown that we're planning to go to. It's a fundraiser for a pregnancy center. (October 24, 6 pm, Outreach of Love church on Hwy 199 in Springtown, admission is a baby bottle full of change...just in case anyone wanted to know!) Tomorrow after church, we're ha...
