Christmas anyone?

Is anyone else in a Christmas mood already? I'm already playing Christmas music in my room...alternating between Christmas Gaither Vocal Band Style and Christmas with Ernie Haase & Signature Sound. Both are very awesome CDs!

We're in the process of packing and getting ready to move. Mom's found a house for us in Weatherford (yay!), so when we head that way next weekend we'll probably go ahead and take a load of stuff with us. We're going to try and have as much as possible packed and ready to go by Friday! I really strongly dislike packing/moving, and will be quite glad when we get settled in our new house. *sigh*


OK, I forgot a picture when I posting the pictures the other night. On the way back to Weatherford from Wichita Falls, we stopped in the little town of Windthort, Tx (I'm pretty sure that's what it was called...) to put gas in the car. We just loved this sign on the gas pump:

Only in Smalltown, USA! :D


Well, I really don't have much to say tonight, I just wanted to post that picture before I forgot about it again. Oh, yeah--I have a whopping 2 votes on the poll at the top of the page, and I know more people than that are "subscribed" to my blog, so please, y'all, vote! :DAnd speaking of voting...election day is just a little over a week away! I don't know about anyone else, but I am SO ready to have this election over, however it turns out. Please remember to be praying for our country, and don't forget to vote! :DMay the Lord bless you all with His grace and JOY this week! :D

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...
