NOT ME Monday!

OK, I first saw this on Elyse's blog, and thought it looked like fun, so I'm going to try it. It's actually hosted by MckMama...her blog is a lot of fun to read, too, so go check it out! :D

So, here we go; the point is that I'm going tell you all the things (or all the things I can think of) that I "didn't" do this week.

  • I did not trip and fall while running up to our back porch with my dog yesterday, banging my shin (hard) on the bottom step. I do not, therefore, now have a big "beautiful" bruise on my left shin.
  • I did not cheer on the Dallas Cowboys yesterday while also telling them, "But don't sack Manning!" Eli Manning, that is, the New York Giants' quarterback. (it didn't work...poor guy "did not" get sacked 8 times! But, the Cowboys WON!!! Or should I say they did not win...? *shrug* I've got myself totally confused now!)
  • I did not stay up until at least midnight pretty much every night this week...I would never do that, 'cause I'm a morning person and "turn into a pumpkin" at about 10 pm.
  • I did not spend almost two entire days shopping this week...grocery shopping on Friday, Christmas shopping today. (which, of course, then does not explain why I'm just now getting around to blogging...)
  • I did not cook, stuff, roll, and wrap 20 breakfast burritos
  • I did not squeeze myself into a small space on my bed between my dog and the wall the last couple of nights just so *she* would not have to move. :D
  • We did not have crazy weather this weekend, with temperatures in the 70's Sunday afternoon quickly followed by a cold front that had it down into the 20's Sunday night. Nope, that would NEVER happen in Texas! :D
  • I am not wracking my brain trying to remember something that happened further back than Friday so that this NOT ME post will actually include my entire week
  • And I am most certainly not blogging when I need to mix up the Amish Friendship muffin starter, hang up/fold/put away my clothes, and go to bed!! :D

Well, that's everything I "didn't" do that I can think of! What are some things YOU didn't do this week? If you post 'em on your blog, let me know so I can go read them! Or, just post them in a comment here!

"See" you tomorrow for Tuesday's Tidbit! :D

Great NOT me Monday stuff. I ALWAYS tend to be black&blue on my legs since I bang stuff all the time. I also LOVE Eli Manning, so was wishing that he would not get hurt during the game :)

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...
